You'd have to sell the thing just to buy a new paint job after 16 thousand people basically keyed your new car.

First order of business? Buff out the paint.

Great, now someone has a car that may or may not be scratched up from a bunch of people with overzealous pennies. How do you get the remnants of that paint off and how do you trade in that car once you realize that you don't like driving a car that's all marred up?

Just take the pennies....mmmm $169.95 :).

I just bring a motorized wire wheel brush, or something similarly powered and abrasive, and just go nuts on the entire car till I found the winning portion.

ALL city-driven SUV's should be so keyed.

Yes, SUV, Yes

Why did they use the penny? That seems very odd considering they're in London. $169.95 here in America, but against the pound it's not as great (I'm to lazy to do the conversion).

Moving along...

Sorry, could you repeat that? The thighs on the one on the left were slapping together so loudly, I didn't quite catch that.

86.40 (It's basically 2 to 1)

They probably used the penny because it was the cheapest metal scratching-disk they could find.

Blonde in nice though.

I'm not sure how many faulty assumptions we are dealing with here :-) but 1/100th of the British Pound Sterling is referred to as a "penny." (Plural "pence" or "pennies")

and yes they are sort of coppery looking like U.S. pennies...

16,995 British pence = $334.36 USD

The official U.S. Mint term for 1/100th of a dollar is cent, not "penny."

We borrowed the word "penny" from the Brits, not the other way around :-)

The British have pennies too. They're worth 1/100 of a pound.

Ya, the British have peonies too. Lots and lots of ... no. Wait. Not p e o n i e s... lupins. YA LUPINS! (Probably in the SUV)

You know, it just dawned on me that I've never heard the singular of pence before; it never occurred to me that it was penny. Learn something new...

That being said, official in the U.S. or no, referring to the object (as opposed to it's value) as a cent is just pedantic.

/my $0.02

@92BuickLeSabre: +1

The girl on the right beat the hell out of me.. I thought it was a scratch n sniff contest.

I know what I'd like to scratch, and it isn't that car.

Those girls are definitely British... (small hands, smell like cabbage, teeth like soft yellow nubbins...)

yeah, but they sure do sit funny.

Huh, what? I was mesmerized by the chubby thighs! @_@

You American's are probably very astonished by the 150hp turbo diesel engine this car holds :D

And they don't have that pretty girls in UK. Probably imported from Scandinavia :P
