It's Walnut, 90% of the people there are Asian...

I have never had a problem reading the signs in Walnut. Where did you work?

Every morning and evening you can see me driving on Imperial and Pershing as that is my daily commute. But I move around that area all the time. I do try and wave to all I see.

Quite possibly! I usually am driving BC (before coffee) so it sometimes takes me a minute to process what I'm seeing

Followed a white MC down Mills Ave. today. Finally caught up with him at Whittier Blvd., but you were turning and I was taking the not so super secret short cut.

Yesterday: Heading south on I-15 toward San Diego about 5:30pm, I saw a 2007 Sparkling Silver MINI w/ a "Dethclock" sticker on the back. Couldn't quite get in waving range...

Today, I was leaving work in my own hometown (a.k.a Nonwaversville, USA) at about 5:15pm when I spied a Pure Silver MCS rolling up on me on University Parkway. The male driver and cute female passenger look over and do "the point" and smile. I gave em a thumbs up and left em in the dust (not intentionally, i drive like a teenager sometimes).

At the next light they got better position and I saw a BRECHT RALLY sticker, #57 on the back window! Nice! As I turned right, they headed straight and I also noticed backup sensors in the rear bumper as well.

Sound like anyone we know?

Another 605 Sighting

This afternoon:
Chili Red/Black w. black bonnet stripes. Northbound on 605 between South Street and Alondra.
I honked and waved. Couldn't tell if driver reciprocated. (I was in a faster lane.)

Depending on when you graduated... parking was probably not too pricey. Now, its up to $90+ just to park the MINI. I wish I could just share a spot with someone.

Is that $90 per quarter? I don't recall what I paid.

But I did get a wave from a (mustard) yellow/B '07 MCS today.

While minding my own business on the 22E, I got waves from a bunch of kids in an SUV. I cracked up and waved back. Saw them a little later and had the same exchange.

Thats one reason I luv driving this car.
