I wish some other California MINI owners were as nice.

Let me explain. In this city, MINIs are still very rare - the single local dealership has only been open for 2 months. I've had my my daily driver MINI for 10 months and 12,000 miles. In all the time I've spotted about 4 other MINIs on the road. Four. Total. So yesterday, I'm pulling up to a stoplight and what's right in front of me? A shiny red Cooper S with a California license plate. I flash me lights, honk, and wave. My wife waves. I honk again. We wave again. The other MINI driver, still stuck at the light in front of me, can't be bothered to even wave back. I can see him look in the mirror to see what's behind him, but doesn't even acknowledge us or the MINI. He simple ignores us.

I hope his car has the cold start problem.
