Mini Wave vs Woodlands Snub
So I've lived in The Woodlands area of Houston since December. My wife and I have a Mini each, and having moved from an area where we are accustomed to the Mini Wave, we are surprised - no, mortified - that there is almost zero participation in the Mini Wave scheme.
I mean, I've seen at least 30 Minis in this area over the months (and I don't drive much), and I have had no more than 2 reciprocal waves.
It's at the point where I flash my lights to get the attention, then wave, and the return I seem to get most is an expression that seems to say, "what the hell is he flashing his lights at me for?"
Woodlands people - start waving for Pete's sake. I mean c'mon, I saw two JEEP guys wave at each other a few days ago! THAT made me deeply saddened and nauseous.

Where I live there are so many MINIs around that nobody waves. There are four or five just in my neighborhood alone. After awhile it gets old - especially if you've owned one for many years. Try concentrating more on enjoying your MINI and a little less on who waves to you.

Traffic safety hazard. ;-)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-wave... If I get a wave I try to wave back. I also tend to wave to other Miatas (particularly older ones) when driving my Miata. But there are considerably fewer of those and it's easier to see and be seen in a convertible.
