Crystal-covered MINI Cooper to make its debut on Good Morning America on Wednesday morning

You know how I love my MINI. But I've received comments that it is the most conservative MINI people have ever seen - even when it's on the track. I've had drivers in the car next to me waiting at a light give me advice on how to jazz it up. Most people think I should get some flames on it or something - I've been envisioning lightning playing across the hood.

The "American Icon," a MINI Cooper covered with a mural made up of more than a million Swarovski crystals, will make its debut Wednesday on "Good Morning America."

The car, featuring scenes of famous Americana -- the Statue of Liberty, White House and Mount Rushmore among them -- was created by CrystalArt, a new company that makes fancy greeting cards out of crystals. The car incorporates 50 different hues of crystal color to represent the 50 states. It took four people six months to finish the drivable art, which carries an estimated value of $250,000.

How can I ever compete with this?
