Mini sees funny side of US clunker scheme

August 3, 2009 by Matt Brogan  




Mini is offering US buyers taking part in the cash for clunkers deal a bumper sticker for their new purchase that takes a glass half-full look at the scheme.

In Mini’s typical vein of humour the sticker reads “My other car was demolished by the government”. Not a bad way to remember where your last car finished up.

    Would make you think that the driver is a hoon an their last car was crushed. The would atleast be the first impression I get from reading it.

    Mine would read.
