VIDEO: How not to wash your new MINI convertible

The new for 2009 MINI Cooper Cabrio is fashionable, ecologically friendly, and ready for open-air fun. While the new MINI drop-top is many things to many people, its still not a good idea to head through a car wash with the top down. That is, unless you're MINI and you're trying to drive home the marketing pitch "Always Open" with a viral video. Hit the jump to view MINI's a minute and a half clib of a brand new MINI Cabrio going through a car wash with the top down. The guys in the car seem to be having a good time, but we're not so sure this looks like much fun. On the flip side, it does kind of satisfy that twelve-year-old urge we once had to go through the car wash in a convertible. Please don't try this at home. Thanks for the tip, Andreas.
