Spotted at least 4 MC's & MCS's while on my way to and from work today. All were spotted on or near the Ike or the Ryan. Not one wave or even aknowledgement of another Mini in the immediate area. I did exchange waves with a Red Bull Mini near the North Riverside Mall. I get the feeling that waving between Mini drivers is dead.

The BRG? it appeared your passenger side parkinglight was malfucitoning. Clearly had your hands full, with traffic and the rain. I think it was about 4-4:30ish
