You've driven other, lesser cars for a little while since your last MINI, and you get all giddy and excited reading this thread knowing yours is ONLY A COUPLE WEEKS AWAY!!!
You have to drive a friends car or a rental car for an hour or so, then you get back into your mini and everything feels solid and sound. Its like getting into a race car!! Love that feeling. Its like the first drive in it all over again.

I completely agree with this. I just had my MINI in for service and had a loaner MINI which was nice but it was nothing like my MINI! Once I got back in my MINI I felt like I was at home, zipping through traffic like their wasn't any!
You pay to take the Midtown tunnel at 2 Am to get into NYC city instead of one of the free bridges, just so you can here the Supercharger Screaming off the tunnel walls as you do 70 in 3rd gear.

Unfortunately I know this feeling...
Mini is in the shop having quater panel, bumper & hatch replaced because I was hit by a school bus
So, I'm having to deal with driving a dodge caliber!
When you find yourself standing in the garage just looking at it...
or your wife screams " YOUR NOT IN FAR ENOUGH" as you push the button to close the garage and your sitting three feet past the door..

+1!
Also, you wash your MINI on a very cold, cloudy, windy day and 2 days before you know it's goning to rain because it's been "too long" since you've last washed it.
... you get out of your "other car" smiling, after being rear ended because you weren't driving the MINI that day and the lady looks at you like your are nuts when you explain.
