What's with these Charlotte Mini drivers not waving ba... OH! My fault!

Last night I had to go to my friend's house in Charlotte from Stanley, and on the relatively short trip, I saw a ton of Minis. I waved at one... he didn't wave back. Okay.. whatever. I waved at the next one, and she didn't wave back. Fine. I waved at the third one, again no wave.. and I'm starting to get annoyed and cursing you guys.

I waved at the fourth one, and that's when it hit me........ I was driving my Miata

So, if you guys were driving down 27 last night and had some crazy guy in a dark green Miata waving at you and were wondering why...... sorry about that

Thats funny!!
I was waving at a lady on the freeway and realized I was in Sarah's car. I have a skin on my phone with a picture of my car and held that up to her so she didn't think I was a weirdo...she smiled and waved back.

I still have to ask the question what's with these Charlotte MINI drivers.... I hardly ever get waves back from anyone in Charlotte.

When I am on the road I wave or flash the brights if on the interstate. I will wave at all Minis regardless if they wave back or not......

I seem to see the same couple of MINI's most mornings on 77N...they just leave me hanging (waving to myself...in traffic).
