Apparently, I have the fever...

I ordered my new Mini on 6/9. It is now in "Awaiting Transport" mode. I have been checking on-line with the shipping company at least twice a day for the past four days or so. A co-worker came into my office and was curious as to the process. I was typing in my VIN number to check and he was like... "you have the VIN number memorized?" I said, "Well, yeah." He looked at me as if I had lost my mind.

OBVIOUSLY not a MINI-ist. And obviously he doesn't associate well with the intelligent types who ARE....

Perhaps your coworker should stop giving you weird looks and start thinking about the fact that memorizing a vin number was a snap for you. Perhaps he should start to consider the possibility that you are of a higher intelligence than he. And although I think it doubtful, maybe he could think about following your lead and looking into getting a mini for himself... I mean isn't that just about the smartest thing he could do anyways?!?

The other option is that most everyone on NAM has some weird obsession/compulsive disorder.. but there is no way that that is the case
