<p>A spare that I always took out or left upright.
I got tail-ended many years ago whilst waiting in a queue. The impact blew both fuel caps off (I never found them!) but the spare tyre pushed the back seat bulkhead forwards a foot, which would have killed anyone in the back.</p>
<p>Nowadays I’m glad not to have a spare that transfers the impact forwards.</p>
<p>And boom. It has a spare tire that the BMW MINIs don’t have. XD</p>
<p>Easy, now. R50’s are quite sensible in this way.</p>

<p>old news</p>
<p>Then just stay away if everything you read is old news.</p>
<p>it’s not my fault i am awesome</p>
<p>Kind of a tie between this and the ecto 1 from Ghostbusters. Its kind of a fun year for Lego Fanatics.</p>
<p>And the Time Machine DeLorean from Back to the Future!</p>
<p>$100 seems like a lot. The Delorean is $35</p>
<p>Delorean has 401 pieces. Mini Cooper has 1077 pieces. That accounts for at least part of the price difference.</p>
