Crash Tuesday [photo] [warning: blood and gore]

A staged photo*

 

*Before I get a ton of hate mail... this is apparently a staged photo from a UK program called "Hammer House of Horror".  Now that I you know it's fake, it's okay to say "whooooaaa!"

Side-by-side Comparison: 2006 MINI, Honda, Scion, VW

Somehow I ended up on the Kelly Blue Book site again!! I don't know why- I'm not buying or selling anything... While there I ended up clicking the "compare" button. The results are as expected, MINI COOPERS KICK ASS in almost every area!

I'm not saying each of these cars are equally equipped, because frankly, I wouldn't know. But, with equal mileage:

Used Car Blue Book, Private Party:

• '06 MINI COOPER S: $21,895.00 (mpg:25/32)
  
• '06 HONDA CIVIC DX: $13,510.00 (mpg:30/40)
  
• '06 SCION TC: $15,880.00 (mpg:22/29)
  
• '06 VW: GTI: $16,620.00 (mpg: 22/29)
  

Again, don't bash me for comparing cars that aren't in the same "league"- KBB.com seems to think they are!

Check the official Fireball Tim blog for the inside scoop and a slew of "behind the scenes" clips of the making of yet another one-of-a-kind Team Fireballed® showstopper.

About 20 MINIs on this run- not too shabby!
