In this episode of The Cooper Cast Podcast, host Dale Blankenship (with Producer Kodi Monster loyally standing by) takes aim at the chaos that gave the car scene a big black eye in Gatlinburg — and why the rest of us are not impressed. Then we shine a well-deserved spotlight on a MINI club doing it right, earning praise straight from the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation.
From there, Dale breaks down MINI’s Q3 sales surge — with most models skyrocketing while the beloved two-door Hardtop quietly nurses its bruised ego. And to wrap it all up, we look ahead to a brand-new MINI-only car show in Georgia that’s already revving up excitement.
It’s equal parts accountability, community, and celebration — with the usual Cooper Cast charm.
Motor safely, and don’t forget to wave!
Mayhem in Gatlinburg.
