that7guy Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 For some reason, I've gotten more waves this month then I have in the year Ive owned the car. Maybe its the new stripes. I've noticed that with the economy and gas prices, more and more people are buying Mini's because they have good MPG a high resale and are relatively cheap. One of my coworkers has one and didn't even realize they had an S model....:hahaha: I usually wave if I see that the Mini is modified, clean or I can tell the driver is an enthusiast. Other then that they never notice or give me the bird as a reaction. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
AliceCpr07 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 Other then that they never notice or give me the bird as a reaction. +1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GreenCactus Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Posted May 21, 2009 I've had a quite a few waves recently, compared to how many I normally get. Other then that they never notice or give me the bird as a reaction. I've had people look at me like I'm crazy, but I've never had anyone give me the bird! Why would someone do that? :stupid:

SAVELOY1 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 I always peace sign but alas not everyone reciprocates. The mutual recognition is the coolest part of ownership in my opinion!!

Being a Jeep™ driver also, I am good at the sudden 'oh look another mini' *wave* thing. my mini is sleeper ish, no stripes, roof and body match, but the ALL chili red cooper in the Springfield area being driven by the heavily tattooed Asian guy.. well that's ME *virtual waves*

Being a Jeep™ driver also, I am good at the sudden "oh look another mini, " thing. my mini is sleeper ish, no stripes, roof and body match, but the ALL chili red cooper in the Springfield area being driven by the heavily tattooed Asian guy.. well that's ME Don't worry, you'll get some wave backs and in the meantime, maybe you'll educate some other Mini drivers I'll keep an eye out when I'm down around Springfield, and if you are up in the Shirlington area keep your eye out for a Laser blue w/ white roof & white wheels... giving you a description of me wouldn't help though. I'm not distinguishable Personally it seems like I get more waves when I'm just cruising down the GW parkway on a nice day. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
AliceCpr07 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 it took me over 8 months of waving before someone actually waved back at me.... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
