1) when driving around town, you often look at the reflection
of your Mini in store windows and think to yourself "what a bitchin' car, damn she looks good"
2) after parking your Mini, and locking her up, you can't resist looking back over your shoulder at her as you walk away...sometimes twice
3) upon coming back to your Mini, you give it a quick once over checking the paint for dings and scratches, and upon finding a new scratch/ding your heart sinks like someone just kicked your dog...and then you get pissed as you look around for the perpetrator...thinking "those bastards!!!..."
4) no matter how much money you put into your Mini, or mods you add, in a week or two you're calculating your funds and determining the next mod you can make...
5) you subconsciously decide to go some where and don't take the most direct, logical route...because your Mini is such a blast to tool around in
6) you always volounteer to drive when going out with friends, or taking short trips
7) you get really mileage-conscious about your Mini's odometer reading, regretting each thousand mile increment that rolls over
you resent some of the other new Mini?s at the Dealership...because your Mini is the best Mini ever, and the new ones will never look as good...
9) deep down inside, you know that your Mini isn't really a performance sports car, but you're in denial until you see a C5 or an M3...because your little Mini will still smoke 90% of all the cars on the road
10) you mess around with your Mini more often than a member of the opposite ***, even if you're married
11) you spend any time at all corresponding with other Mini owners over the Internet when you should be getting work done!!!
12) during lunch breaks, you sit in your Mini...even if you aren't eating
13) You chase after any car with aftermarket anything on it (rims, a bigtip, &c), just so you can pass them and piss them off because even with all that stuff on their car, it'll never look as nice as yours!
14) Where you're driving along and enjoying the drive more than you probably should be when suddenly you notice a new noise that you're fairly certain wasn't there last week, and you begin going over in your mind all the things it could possibly be... "dang, was the sunroof sounding like that before? is there a whirring in the engine right now? is one of my wheels making more noise than it should?" I have an about-uncontrollable urge to pull over as soon as possible and get out and have a look....
