@Slowlane: This reminds me of the 7 minute ABS conversation from Something About Mary...
Hitchhiker: You know how most sports cars have 4 wheels, well I am gonna make one with 6.
Stiller: Wow.
Hitchhiker: Our slogan will be, if 4 wheels isn't enough, we will throw in 2 more for free.
Stiller: Wow, that's great up until someone comes out with an 8 wheeled supercar.
Hitchhiker: Urgh, 8 wheels, that's ridiculous...

Trying way too hard to be cool. It's like a hipster on a fixie.
@2.5i: Yeah, that car is gonna spin its tires with that many stickers and no wing to add downforce. If you really want a hard laucnhign car, geet a bi-plane style spoiler.
@klinquist: AWESOME.
So when does NASCAR have to change their name to the NRE Series or National Racing Entertainment Series. Just curious.
@cmdrfire: ΔV also win races, so that got that going for them.
@E30fernando: Very cool. It looks like MJFs reaction time off the line has gotten a bit slower.
And now to our reporter with current Pole Leader Claudio Lagos...
Reporter: Claudio, can you tell us a little bit about your performance today.
Claudio: Well, the guys did really good getting the cage open and getting me in quickly. We had prepared well, and knew we would be able to put up a good time.
Reporter: Did you really think you would be in First at this point?
Claudio: Well, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. There are still a lot of good men yet to come out. I just want to thank those that supported us getting a good run in.
Reporter: Back to you guys..

And if we planted saw grass, and if we built a bio-diesel refinery on board, and if we connected it to the fuel tank, we could achieve environmental unity!
Or we could just be hauling around several hundred extra pounds thus reducing current fuel economy.

Must have been hauling Exotics. I have heard on this website that they are quite combustible.
@armyofchuckness: Heck, I would drop 17 washingtons, lincolns, jaksons, and benjamins for one of those.
Scene open: Zoom in on tower of the BMW head office. Slide through glass into executive conference room.
Head of BMW talking to head on MINI brand.
BMW Head: So, how is our evil plan of das KaufenunddannlangsamdasVerderb... einemVersuchjemalsgemachtenAut... (= "buying and then slowly corrupting one of the purest automotive designs ever made in an attempt to deflect heat on our own corruption of our automotive legends") going?
MINI Brand Manager: The plan is going really well. We introduced the "New MINI" with a fair amount of bastardization, but it was close enough that the general public excepted it. We then through in a more powerful engine as a sport model with the intent of just upping the power to eventually make it heavier and larger. We then introduced a larger variant with mild success and a reasonable fan following."
BMW Head: "Excellent, tell me more."
MINI Brand Manager: "Well, we are about to finish the brand forever. We just released a concept of a MINI-Van. Get it. A MINI-van. this garuantees the death of the brand within months of introduction."
BMW head: "Wonderful. This will pave the way to subdue the revolt we would get when introducing a 2000 kg M3. "
MINI Brand Manager: "Can we change the name of the plan to something shorter?"

What no roller blades?
That is way better than the original name.
It never ceases to amaza me the lack of "Sense of Speed" most in-car footage conveys. I am sure that in the car, it felt crazy fast. Watching the video though, you would believe 100mph, 200mph, 300mph, or even the 400mph.
I loved that engine start.

"(young people are more likely to drive drunk)," shouldn't this read (young people are more likely to get caught drivign drunk). Just sayin, there are many idiots out there that don't get caught.
Now that's 7 minutes of heaven.
