mwerks: Rock Star MINI

[Bryan@mwerks]

Anyone who has ever watched Cribs on MTV knows that rock stars love to spend their money on bling. Big houses, trendy clothing, flashy jewelry; they all rate high on the list, but the crown jewels of any rock star reside in the garage. We have all seen the Bentleys, the Ferraris, the Mercedes S-Classes that seem to be part of the recording contract. And no self-respecting music man is complete without at least one Hummer on chromed Dubs.

There’s no doubt that success in the music business can afford one the ability to buy a lot of nice things, even if taste isn’t one of them. But what we see on Cribs are the biggest names in the business, the ones who have made it to the top, even if only for the proverbial fifteen seconds of fame. Easy come, easy go is often the case in this fast-moving business, so you have to get it while the gettin’s good.

We’ve probably all sat down for at least one episode of VH1’s Before They Were Stars. Where else can you see high school yearbook pictures of your favorite grunge rocker with captions that read “Chess Club, LaCrosse, Mathletes”? It’s always amusing to watch clippings of their early auditions and such, but you never get to see what the would-be celebrities drove when they were delivering pizzas to pay the rent. Full Story

Awesome. MWerks...or somebody should write a "how to" on covering that ugly-ass chrome up. I'd actually consider a Mini for my next car (end of this year) if I could make it not look like some tin toy from the 50's.
