Really, though, now, if you didn't care WHAT you were driving, as long as it got good gas mileage, why not get a Yaris, Civic, Fit, or any other generic econobox car?
Perhaps these owners bought used and never learned about the wave? Or their MA (if they bought new, or used off a lot) didn't fill them in?
For some reason, I just have to imagine that every MINI owner loves their MINI and it's not just an appliance to get you from point A to point B.

I got a record 4 waves today 
. Amazing! Really made me feel like part of a unique group of people. Of course it made me wonder if my car was dragging something behind me or if it was smoking or something strange was going on...
Not use to that many waves if any on one day!

I still wave at any MINI or Mini that I see no matter what!
But I believe that you don't have to wave specifically, you could thumbs up, or peace sign, or shaka hang loose, nod, tip your hat, stick your head out the window and stick out your tongue, a low five (hand directly down out the driver's window), honk --beware of safety and cops--, flash your fogs/lights, etc.etc...

Today when leaving Vista MINI a R56 MY/B MCS with an antenna ball on it (enthusiast no doubt ) drove by and as I caught up to him at the stoplight he was in the left turning lane and I honked my horn twice and he gave a wave back and I waved too.Granted I saw maybe 4 others on the road also but driven by old people though.
So that makes a total of 2 waves I got in the past 6 months now since I bought Scrappy.

Better than a wave?
The other I was waiting to make a left when a Clubman slowed and flashed his lights letting me make my turn. There was a long stream of cars coming so he really did me a favor. Of course he got a big wave in return.
Talk about MINI love!

Unfortunately, I have had my car less than a week and I couldn't figure out how to open up the windows in time. I felt bad!!
