cruising along, minding my own business. obviously the two in front
of me are aware that im behind them. there's also cars around me.
with no warning, the MCc's driver goes over a road kill and sure his
bone stock car might be able to clear the opposom, but obviously
mine can't. i got no where to go, but to slow down a hair...
CRUNCH!!! frickin hitting my aero bumper's lower lip.
he could've at least slowed down, gone around it, flashed his
hazards, or even waved to get my attention for a quick heads up.
come on, if you want to be a motorer, look out for your MINI buddies
around you, you friggen selfish bonehead!
luckily, my car appears to be okay.
ok, end of rant.

H or possibly I B/B MC on 176 in Wacconda about 7 pm you would have seen me to late to return a wave, not quite sure if you caught mine.
And I know I saw another one today but I've drawn a complete blank as to which MINI it was.
I'll be gaining a decent size commute (wohoo its been to long since I've been required to drive the MINI long distances) in the coming weeks so I'm sure I'll be seeing more MINIs out there.
