Absolutley, I didn't think there was any other reason for the existence of SUV's. Other than to cater to my cars vanity.

That's why I'm followed so close at times.

Hubby is so good for checking out his cars reflection while driving down our beach stripe.

I'll let you know if it becomes a problem when my Mini arrives mid August.

I can't wait to get some of the pics like I'm seeing on this forum.

Have to agree 100% on that one.

She's just jealous. Make sure to look at the reflections of the passenger side. Then, if she says you are crazy, tell her you were looking at her.

I've had my MINI for about 2 weeks now, and I am doing this (i.e., checking her out in reflections as I drive, admiring her in the driveway, etc.) constantly. Here I thought it was because I just got it. According to this thread, this will never end. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

Oh yeah!

Just the other day I was all bummed out that I didn't have a better camera around - next time you're behind a SUV that has a hard spare cover check this out - so cool... Center yourself just right and you'll get the entire MINI in the spare cover, then on the tailgate you'll get a reflection that's bigger and shows from about the headlights out. Man, it looked so cool, my little MINI enveloped by my bigger agressive looking MINI. I was in stop&go traffic & just kept staying right in that perfect spot, just admiring my MINI!

Only my friends here on the forum would understand...
