Episode 61; MINI USA a no-show at the NY auto show, A Carolina MINI with new graphics & the Question Of the Week

In this episode of The Cooper Cast Podcast, host Dale Blankenship (and the semi-silent but always sleepy Producer Kodi) catch up on all things MINI after a short pit stop thanks to being under the weather. But don’t worry—we’re back and revved up!First up, we take a look at what MINI USA is doing for the New York International Auto Show. Spoiler alert: they’re not bringing any cars to the floor. That’s right—not a single MINI on display. We break down why that might not be as wild as it sounds, and what it says about MINI's marketing game in 2025.Next, we shine the spotlight on some killer new MINI graphics spotted in South Carolina—these things are slick, bold, and definitely worth a peek. Want to see what we’re talking about? Head over to the Cooper Cast Podcast Facebook page to check out the pics!Then we revisit a recent Question of the Week from the community—because hey, catching up is what this episode’s all about. And finally, we tease a clever little trick from our buddy Barry Patascher on how to still enjoy those popular group drives even if you didn’t get a spot. It’s a slick little workaround… but you’ll have to tune in next week for the details.So buckle up, laugh a little, and enjoy the ride—this is The Cooper Cast.
