MINIphilia Clinically Defined

Minipihlia - Is a human automobile pasttime disorder and it is characterized by recurrent and sometimes unwanted MINI thoughts, and or repetitive MINI related behaviors. This includes repetitive behaviors such as looking for the latest headlines or news or products about MINI's and all things MINI. These behaviors are typically performed with the hope of reducing or eliminating the amount of obsessive MINI thoughts that travel through the healthy mind of a MINI owner.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
*Owning a MINI
*Persistent and welcome thoughts about one's MINI
*Persistent and welcome thoughts about the MINI one ordered
*Persistent thoughts about whether one should have ordered a white roof or color matching roof.
*Continuous feeling that you will see another MINI while driving
*Admiring another MINI while driving by it
*Constantly looking "on-line" for new products for the MINI
*Visiting MINIUSA.com for old times' sake
*Commenting to your passenger(s) that MINI's popularity is making BMW a little nervous

If you can identify with 2 or more of the above condition, then you are probably suffering from MINIphilia

TREATMENT
Currently, modern science has not identified a vaccine or cure for MINIphilia. Since the proportion of MINIphiliacs in the population continues to be low, promising treatments or cures are not likely to be on the horizon in the foreseeable future. However, research indicates that the only effective treatment for MINIpihilia is to accept that one has MINIphilia, and drives the heck out of the MINI.

PROGNOSIS
Bleak, unless the MINI owner joins a MINI club and socialize with other MINIphiliacs.

SUMMARY
Have fun! .....and....uh change the oil every 5000 miles

Enjoy,
Dr. B.
