I wave, but, due to tint you may not see it, I also try to flash lights.
With so many MINI's and so few DRIVERS it's going to be harder to get a wave.
Maybe one day, all MINI's will be owned by DRIVERS and we'll all wave in peace, between shifting and laying down power in the apex.

On my home from work yesterday I saw MANY MINI's and I waved and waved and got no wave back. Then, on 88 there was a silver MINI headed east and I saw him wave but I didn't see in time to wave back.

I spotted a Blue/white Classic Mini yesterday around 7pm at the gas station on the SE corner of Cumberland/Lawrence - Harwood Hts. I was going to pull over to check it out, but there was too much traffic.

i spotted a gray cabrio today with its topdown heading south on
plum grove between Golf and Higgins. i think it turned into the
McD's parking lot just before GasCity. it was quite a bit ahead of
me so couldn't get a close look. it was about 9am or so.
i was out motoring like 7am today. hehe.
