@$kaycog*5000*: If I could promote, I would.

@armyofchuckness: ....and where did he go afterwards?

They're real, right? Neither of us wants a blow out.

I offer to be an outside driver for mini.

Not for nothing gentlemen (and ladies), but again- as we learned with the Mazda case - dealerships =/= brand.. audi stepped in to help this guy after he got screwed by a dealership.

Saw this the day it went up on the forums. Its ridiculous. I'm pushing it around as best I can.

@87CapriceEstate: plate mounts to a towhook thinger as to not require holes drilled in the bumper. pretty common for enthusiasts within the brand at least.

#11- why hooning teaches you to deal with shitty weather and emergencies. And be able to explain why. Before I got my license , in the snow, my dad showed me how to recover a slide.

@Disadvantage: Its ok, her brother Benz will keep an eye out.

@Realityism: Ah. I applaud your comment and position. however, thats what I meant about avoiding the political aspect of it. Assuming I cannot change the method used (which, to be fair, I hear was the guys personal choice), I just meant that the media-casting of it is not entirely a terrible thing. That being said,…

@Killjoy: It was the only one I got. I'll join your club.

Hold up. I see where everyone is coming from with the "show some respect" and I am surely not trying to start a serious discussion, BUT:

@UncleBenny: "I could BE any person alive today"

While I was in utero, my parents drove around in a 1968 GTO. Black. I don't know what was under the hood at the time (as I was informed later that dad had swapped a couple for fun), but my mom swears that to this day, my penchant for fast cars has been from the time I spent in one before I was born. And after.

I heard somewhere that if airbags deploy and the car goes upside down and then stays stationary for more than 20 seconds.. those beautiful doors actually explode off their hinges.

Not for nothin', but my best candids are rarely shot with the a real camera.
