the lady in the huge SUV who parked next to you manages to tell you how beautiful and shiny your MINI looks, even while putting her cranky, crying child into his car seat!

You look at your MINI and know that no one who doesn't know MINIs could never tell that your MINI is 2.5yrs. Old!!

Don't you just love it when this happens?! I detailed my MINI and the next day the girl in the McDonalds drive through window said "That car is freakin hot!" Made my day.

Just yesterday I was in my driveway just finishing buffing my 07 CR MCS after a wash (a balmy 70F + bright sun here in SA, TX) and a fellow in an F150 stopped, rolled down his window, and asked, "How much to make mine shine like that?"

I wasn't sure how to respond, b/c I wasn't sure if he was really wanted me to do his truck, so I just answered, "Thank you very much!". He smiled and drove away, and I probably had a smile on my face for the next hour at least.
