I'm not usually home when the mailman delivers the mail. But Saturday, I had just finished detailing Lil'Sprout and had the garage door up. The doorbell rang and I looked outside and saw the mail truck. I ran to the door thinking I had a big package. I opened the door and he handed me a couple bills (ugh!) and said "Can I see your Mini Cooper?" I was like "Sure!" I was as excited to show him the car as I would be to get a big package in the mail. He asked about all the details because now he wants to get one too!

My mailman is a woman. She likes Minis as well. Keeps
asking for a ride which I will gladly provide when our schedules
permit.

The mail man by my house asked me about my car too...lots of people are always asking about it or pointing at my MINI. It makes me feel important.

I know my mail man. He and I worked together at Domino's Delivering pizzas before I had the MINI. He was always a parttime mailman. Now he's doing it fulltime. He stopped by the house to hand deliver my MINIUSA present. I opened it and showed him how much MINI loves MINI buyers. He thought it was cool that MINIUSA does things like that. I promised him a ride when he gets a chance...those darn mailmen seem to have a long workday...so coordinating a ride has been hard to do.

I was wondering how he would measure up to TJ. He's got 3 inches on him.

Maybe the mailman will join the Lakers and get some fire in them. If they win another championship then everyone will be happy. Except the rest of the NBA that is.

And all sorts of workmen and delivery men comment on how nice the MCS looks.
