But if every MINI owner in SF really starts doing that we'll have to drive with our windows always down and constantly waving!!!

OK, so if you see a Clubby Hot Chocolate with Black Bonnet Stripes, WAVE! It's either me or my boyfriend

(The only other Clubby Hot Chocolate I've seen in SF has no stripes)

Atlanta is starting to turn into a MINI city. I see 6-10 everyday on my commute.

Unfortunately, unless you are way out in the burbs you won't get a wave. I also rarely see guys driving them.

3rd Reason.
4 dealerships in in 40 mile radius.

Although LA has a few MINIs too, and about 9 dealerships in 40 mile radius.

Not weird at all!!

Coco loves the attention!!

If you see us driving wave!! I'll promise to wave back, but if it's my boyfriend driving, then not so much...

He doesn't "get it"

I'll keep an eye for your Pepper White!

And no, I'm not riding by the MINI dealership

Who in their right mind would drive in San Francisco???

i think it's already bullspit that you're charged parking everywhere you go. So why drive?

I hate driving in SF during rush hour, but during quieter times (like early in the morning on a weekend) it is one of the nicer cities to drive in because of the sights. Hill-assist is a lifesaver in some parts that I used to wear out the clutch in my previous car. But head north across the GG bridge into Marin county...ahhh, there is where we have the most fun driving.

Having lived in Houston and in San Francisco...color me crazy but I'd take San Fran any day. You can keep Houston and the bullspit....that place is a nightmare. Besides you can go windows down & roof open 90% of the time in San Fran...and maybe 10% in Houston. Just my 2¢...

I took a picture of the "painted ladies" on Steiner St. and of course, a MINI is in the image parked in front of one of them. I did see a few MINIs there but nothing out of the usual.
