Center Stack, or Malicious Monkey Robot?

Am I the only one to see the resemblance?

Wow, somebody's going to make a fortune on aftermarket center-console dress-up kits.

Thanks for the laugh! I'm sitting in the Anchorage airport (long boring layover) and nearly had the Pepsi I'm drinking come out of my nose!

I love the giant center speedo. It's funky, it's outrageous, it's unconventional. Bring it on.

I think my Mini (as do all of them) has tons of class, moreso than a creepy stuffed toy monkey.

Okay, I'm guilty of exhuming this post by linking it to this thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=100720

I still think bee1000n is a genius.
