Now I feel like eating quiche...

Yesterday I was on my way to work, it was beautiful, 70 degrees, clear, after a stretch of clouds and rain. Anyway, this guy in a Cabrio is comin' toward me and I can see he has this big grin on his face.

The moment that he sees me, he flashes his light in a Mini to Mini greeting.

I confess, before all of you, that I flashed my lights in return.

Felt crappy about it all day.

Just a little too Warm & Fuzzy but I promise never to do it again.

As long as all your flashing is your headlights, don't worry about it

I'm definitely a waiving type of guy too! I greet my customers this way...Nothing better to spread enthusiasm than to have it in the first place.

Used to be that way with the VW bugs too....

What's the problem? I love waving or flashing at other MINI owners.

I am comfortable with my fuzziness. Embrace your inner fuzziness!

My inner fuzziness is growing out my back in the form of hair!!!!

Now there's a vision you'll have to live with for the rest of the day.

Too late. I already looked in the mirror this morning before I put a shirt on... Argh. What the heck is it with hair... I guess gravity pulls it from your head to lower parts of your body over time...

I see a Dodge Dooly in your future. That is what my co-workers do to compensate.

There's a dark silver cabrio S in my neighborhood. We drive past each other nearly every day at the same time, and we always wave or flash lights.

I see nothing wrong with flashing, even being past Mardi Gras!

Were you both driving pink MINIs with white wheels?

That would be very warm and fuzzy.
