Ive had quite a few videos get to that limit (its not that high) though I always decline because its required that you own the right to them and most of the things I upload are stuff I thought was neat and didn't wanna see lost.

It's also not hits on the video but hits on the advertisements, the popup ads in the video and the square one to the right (not sure about the banner ad.)

I still find it kind of mind-boggling that people actually click on ads online. I've had adblock ever since I knew it existed, and the only ads I allow through/click on are the goon-purchased ones at the bottom of the forums, as they're pretty funny sometimes. [/derail]

It is also BMW owned and controlled. And it would actually be an interesting challenge becayse they would send a JCW Cooper S. Those things are not slow

It's a win-win for mini. Even if they lose, they get to say "only x seconds slower than a porsche and at half the cost." Either way it's a ton of advertising for the cost. Porsche should show up with a Cayenne Turbo S.

Eh, looks like their numbers are up a bit lately... I just see them as played out (built up bitterness from having to deal with their crappy cars and $600 discount part price for a loving power steering pump). This is a stupid ploy to get attention, though. What could Porsche possibly have to gain by engaging in this? If they win, big deal, a Porsche beat a Mini. If they, in some twisted fashion, lose, they lost to a Mini. No gain anywhere.

I really do hope they pull out of this, Chrysler has a streak of anti-establishment in them that they could really capitalize on if they wanted to. Sadly, the suits probably won't let that happen.
