Too good to be true?

I often find myself looking at other cars like an Audi or BMW and thinking 'now that's a real car'... I think the MINI is so different from every other car and so much more fun to drive that I halfway think that this can't be real. I feel like I'll wake up soon and realize it was just a dream, and later on in the day be telling my friends about how I just had this ridiculous dream that I was driving this little tiny car that somehow fit me comfortably and had more space and storage than most other sedans, and was really powerful and could easily drive around a 360-degree-turn freeway onramp going 50 mph without any tire screeching or anything.... and then we'll all laugh at how ridiculous my dream was, and tell stories of other ridiculous dreams.

Anyone else have this problem??

I used to find myself looking at other cars all the time & making mental notes on their coolness factor so I could go check them out later for possible future purchase. That was before I got my Mini though. Now when cars go by I don't notice them so much anymore as I am usually the one getting noticed
