>>I started getting comments about size before it was even delivered. My brother wanted to know if it was being shipped UPS or FedEx. He calls it a Mr. Beanmobile. But all in good fun.


I get the same from my brother - Mr. Bean. That's his nickname for me now, hey wait a minute...is your brother's name, Jeff?

 

No, his name is Tony. And a devout Mr. Bean fan I might add.

 

A neat thing happened to me to cap off 2002. Coming out of the local cineplex on New Years Eve, a father and two young sons approached my car and said "do you like your MINI Cooper?" I replied, "I love it!" as I usually do.

The father proceeded to explain that the son (about 13 years) builds his own on miniusa.com every day. It was their first close-up look at the MINI. The kid knew from the rear in the dark that it was an S...smart kid....:smile:

What a great story! *wipes tear from eyes*

My comment of the week turned out to be this family of five who chased me down in the GMC Suburban. I was getting out of my car when the mom, who was so intrgued with the car that she said they followed me for one mile, said, "What is that? It looks like a little insect." I followed it up with, "well, that's not really the best comment I have heard."

Some people...

 

Is that the new Corvair?
