Someone drew a heart on my MINI's snow covered bonnet
 
after the snowfall yesterday, while my mini was parked on the mean streets of nyc, someone drew a heart on the bonnet. http://www.clipartof.com/images/thumbnail/2374.gif i didn't notice until i got to work. i'm jealous.

Awwww....it's like a love note for your MINI!

MoxieMini Jan 19, 2009 08:20 AM

So either YOU have a secret admirer, or your MINI does... :wink:.

Very cute... but how did you drive without any snow flying off? (Speaking of course from experience in SNOW land.):confused:

Maybe so. I never lived close enough to where I could walk to work... and definitely NOT in the winter.:lol:

it's only a couple miles drive, and i didn't get much faster than 30. the snow was on the sticky side. it would have been more poetic if it did fly off because i would have never known. it would have been a secret between my mini and it's admirer. :sly::)

Wow, hope their finger was clean and so was your paint. Hate to think you might have some microscratches.

That heart is lopsided, too.

Sorry... OCD coming out again. :nod: :lol:

Yep, someone admirers you or your MINI. Now fess up... which of you is more lovable ???

Ahh... ok that makes more sense... STICKY snow. Between the engine warming up and the snow sliding forward off that tiny bonnet or ripping off in one giant sheet at a higher speed and flying over the top... http://www.pic4ever.com/images/25r30wi.gif... you got lucky! Must be a sign. Definitely makes a smile... glad you didn't miss it! http://www.pic4ever.com/images/loveshower.gifHopefully you don't have a stalker!:sly: JK

definitely my mini. you can ask my wife for a second opinion, although she still doesn't understand my obsession with the car so she might pick me. for your ocd immersion therapy, my mini did have a nice layer of salt and grime underneath from past snowstorms. it also has a bunch of old dents from some aggressive parallel parking suv i presume. once i budget garage parking for my mini, it's getting a face-lift.

miniola Jan 19, 2009 09:17 AM

MYSTERY SOLVED! It was that crazy bird that slept on your handle.http://www.pic4ever.com/images/4chsmu1.gif

No senses of humor around here today. Must be the winter months taking it's toll.

nah - chalk it up to cold weather, the economy, and other political stuff we won't get into. :nod: I was just joking, BTW.

Cute, but :eek: that you didn't get a ticket. Are daytime running lights mandatory in NY? I guess not! What if the snow slid/flew off the hood, or the roof and obscured another drivers' vision? Different rules of the road, I guess. :lol:

lilruffcat Jan 19, 2009 11:14 AM

I think its sweet.. no matter how long it stayed there, how it got there.. and rules of the road... someone took the time to do it.. and in NY thats a good thing.. no harm no foul!

Calmante Jan 20, 2009 08:13 AM

So, you drove to work without cleaning off your car? Around here, that's a nice fine. Non-functional headlights, turn signals, etc...

But it's awfully cute that someone did that.

yeah, stupid in retrospect. i was in a rush. i didn't realize the headlights were covered. i did clean the rear, though. good thing it was a short, slow drive. anyway, taxis don't pay attention to signals.

miniola Jan 20, 2009 11:15 AM

Well, maybe if a cop had pulled you over and saw that... his heart would've just gotten all melty and he would've given you a big hug! http://www.pic4ever.com/images/bighug.gif

On the other hand, they do pay attention to certain hand signals. :wink:

raised with Texan southern manners, i've never used such hand signals, unless you mean a thumb's up. :thumbsup:
