Hello Everybody,

I recently just traded in my 2011 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon for a brand new 2011 Mini S. The jeep would just go through gas like a stranded person in the desert. It was such a rugged jeep, able to withstand insane elemental furies of any sort. But it would not justify the fact that it cost minimum of 75 dollars a week to fill up. So I went back and got my second option of a car and got a New 2011 Mini. I've always wanted one and knew it was a perfect car for me, with all the youifications, one can make. I have to say this is the one car i would never let go of. It is so fast it sickens me such a small car has that kind of raw power, or perhaps it is the transition of driving a slow *** 4,000lb jeep?Anyways its super great on gas. Currently im achieving 33-38mpg. Such a money saver for all the mods i want to make. So, I am wondering, when I was a wrangler owner, we all used to give each other the jeep wave, and it seems now that everytime I see a mini, I want to wave at it. Is there a such thing, a mini wave, for us motorers?

 

Oh, yes. There is a wave. You'll recognize it easily, as it will be accompanied by a stupefied grin on the driver's face.

Congrats and welcome!

 

Welcome. You have now become a MANIac.

 

Welcome, waterpolodude!

Congrats on your new ride, glad you are having so much fun. The wave is an essential part of the motoring experience!

Alternate gestures towards fellow Motorers including huge smiles, wild-eyed fist pumping, the "guy head nod", and long distance high-fiving are optional, but highly encouraged. However, the traditional wave is mandatory and will make up the essay part of the final exam!

Welcome to our madness!
