Yeah, I've had a couple people almost rip my handle off.

DO show new passengers where the "OH $#it" handles are.
DO keep the boot free of rolling objects if you like taking the corners quick.

DON'T let anyone eat or drink in your MINI, especially if you have leather.
DON'T let anyone in your MINI with dirty shoes.
DON'T drive a dirty MINI.
DON'T forget the iPod, no matter how short the trip.

Do NOT try to microwave a pizza AND grille a hotdog in the backseat simulteansly. One or the other will overcook

DO take on an Elise in the rain on a bumpy road. It works.

DO try to time the lights to blow by any 911 you see. They will crack.

DO try an air mattress, they are very comfortable. And you can uninflate them.

DO order the pizza, and put the hotgog on the intercooler!

Don't get on an expressway onramp, turn on the cruise and marvel at the power you're getting while driving happily along....without realizing that you're still in 3rd gear
