That appears to be a MiniCooper convertible.

That poor deformed girl in the front passenger seat.

Didn't you just KNOW that the winning pic would be of Palestinian victims of Israeli bombings?

A Mini Cooper is not a cheap car - my sister has one. I thought all Palestinians were impoverished.

That many people fit in a mini cooper? I've seen them tooling around my town and didn't think they looked THAT big. But I'm not the best with spatial dimensions and so forth.

Looks like the blonde in the front seat is struggling to keep from falling over forward.

What does that have to do with the Lebanese in the photograph?

Yep. The dashboard looks like a match.

I based it on the dash, they do look a bit cramped.

From my new Harlingen novella:

"Katrina Heineken rolled in a mad embrace with Duke LaCrosse on the banks of the Rio Grande, their wet backs glistening in the setting sun."

The one in the article, is that a speedometer in the center of the dash instead on the GPS Nav? Looks like it to me.

In the US, you get those two gages on the steering column only if you get the GPS Nav which displaces the speedometer from the dead center of the dash.

They're a fun car to drive. Roomier than expected.

I actually like that photo. Makes me care about Lebanon and all that Arab tussling as usual a lot less. Let 'em kill each other. They can call us when they're done.

I like the weirdness of this one, fourth world meets first. Ship them back! Meanwhile, naturally, the Brutal Leftist Thug is represented, in all his thug-ugliness.
