We’ve all seen the writing on the bathroom wall. Pure, uncensored, often hilarious. The collage-like nature of layered comments on the back of a bathroom stall can tell you a lot about people. I always joke about taking photos of them. It’s about time I do so! I present a new photo series I call, “The Bathroom Wall“.

A few days ago MINI officially unveiled the for-production, two-seater convertible Roadster. After poring over numerous photos and technical data, I’ve concluded that the 2012 MINI Roadster Convertible is the most awesome worst car ever made. Seriously. I can’t even begin to go over all the details MINI managed to exceed all my expectations screw this one up on. Here are just few:
Manual Top? Ludicrous!
A manual top? Genuis! Ludicrous! Sure it lowers the center of gravity, shaves off about 50 pounds and $500 off the MSRP, but what it obviously lacks is the ultimate douchebaggery of activating the automatic top in the Whole Foods parking lot off a keyfob, or while waiting for the light on Sand Hill Road. You know- right when every one is watching. Because, that’s what you a get a convertible for, right? Without an automatic roof, one might have to actually GET OFF THE PHONE for two seconds! Heavens!
Go-kart handling, luxury styling, and great gas mileage too?! Nonsense! While no official EPA MPG numbers are available at the time of this post (the “hard top” Coupe lists at 35hwy/27city), what’s the fun in smoking TTs and leased 3-Series’ at 0-60 MPH in 6.3 seconds if you can’t complain about the price of gas when you’re done? I mean, really!
Sorry- No room for tricycles.
Another win fail for MINI is the entire two-seater concept. Without even the semblance of a back seat found in the previous Cabrios, no one will never be able to cart a menagerie of screaming adorable neighborhood kids to day care, the park, or soccer practice. MINI claims you can fit a set of skis, golf clubs, or 8 bags of luggage, but the nearly 8-1/2 cubic foot storage area is nary enough for the average trip to Home Depot, Costco, or an extended family’s worth of perfunctory inspiring holiday presents as you travel across the country to endure relish a few days of claptrap witty banter and painful wonderful memories.

With only two seats, a Motorer’s dating pool is quickly reduced to only independently minded folks who couldn’t spec out a bedroom or appliance set if their progeny depended on it. Literally! Sorry kids- no washing machines here.
Personally, I cannot recommend anyone purchasing the 2012 MINI Roadster Convertible. In fact I will go on the record as actively discouraging it. If I had my way, no one will buy one, and MINI will be forced to lower the yet announced price to foster what little margin they can eek out. At least until a poor sap like me can snatch one up.
Note: All images in this post respectfully copied from MotoringFile.com. Because, you know, don’t wanna overload the servers by rudely hotlinking to them, right? Right? You can get all the information you’d ever want to know about the MINI Roadster and all other models at MotoringFile.com. Its where all MINI dealers go for their info, so should you!

“Teton County Fire Chief Joe Zahara and Sherwin Smith, assistant chief for Choteau Fire Department, made the three-and-a-half hour trip from central Montana to Big Sky on Tuesday morning to collect their new truck…”
Fire Truck! Gee thanks guys!
”Their old structure-fire engine, used for putting out building fires, had been out of commission for over a year, leaving anyone stricken by a fire of that type to wait an excruciating half-hour for help to arrive from surrounding areas. Smith said purchasing a new truck would run them anywhere from $300,000 to $500,000, and with a $10,000-a-year budget, it just wasn’t in the cards.”

What’s this? Proof that I actually leave the house?! This past weekend I went outside by choice- and enjoyed a hefty jaunt to Mt. Hamilton- wherever that is.
Only half the scooters taking a break at Mt. Hamilton Observatory

A gaggle of Scooters
Clocking in roughly 150 miles in one day, this run was full of adventures including the wild turkey and squirrel slalom, a couple bouts of rain, and even a few scowls from surly bikers now and then…

A day with the South Bay Scooter Posse isn’t your typical ice cream scooter run. A run with these folks will acquaint you with some of the most adventurous roads and scenery the South Bay has to offer. As we head into winter, thus marks the busy season for SBSP and fellow adventurers who make a point to take the road less traveled. Pot holes and all…
The Posse. Certainly not surly. [Photo credit: Leif Rasmussen

I don’t often get out of work before the sun goes down (sad trombone). But when I do, I always pass this South Bay landmark/art piece…
Randomly placed art piece...
WTF is it? Anyone?
