Mini Cooper a prize on Wheel of Fortune

Caught the end of Wheel of Fortune tonight. As a prize to win, they have a Liquid Yellow Cooper (not an S) and it looks like it has the Aero Kit as well. Sharp lookign car.

Sorry if this is a repost!

Yeah, I saw that yesterday. I don't think it had an aero kit, it looked really basic, no sunroof, hoolies. Looked cool on the stage.

I'm not sure which is more unsettling:

A) The likelihood of a non-enthusiast winning a MINI Cooper

B) People openly admitting to watching Wheel of Fortune

(partly due to supply).

I saw it too - in HI DEF! :-) Should be an 'S' IMO... I mean it's not like WOF can't afford to give an S away.

I seriously doubt that the WOF producers pay a single penny for any of the prize giveaways, except maybe cash prizes.

any MINI is a prize.

Yeah, can you imagine winning a MINi and it not being an "S"?

This is very sad. First, that there are so many people here who watch this cr@p. Second, that MINI marketing has stooped so low. Don't they usually give away Pontiac Sunfires and the like on this show?
