Lookback?
I was sitting in a mall parking lot today listening to the news when a triple black C6 vert flys in (and in first gear so you can hear the pipes 
)
He parked a fair distance away from the entrance to the store. As he and his ladyfriend walked into the store he turned around and walked backwards while he admired his purty ride.
How many of you do this? How many of you park so you can see the Corvette while you are at work or in a restaurant?
It has been a while since I have seen this question posted. Just though it might make some of you noobs and veterans smile!

guilty.I went to a restaurant the other day and asked the girl if I could have a seat by the window so I can keep an eye on my baby. The horrified look on her face was priceless.

Also quilty. When I got to my new assignment, they wanted to give me a reserved parking place close to the main enterance to our building; I had them give me one a little further away -- directly across from my office so I could look out and see her throughout the day

I look back just about every single time. My excuse is that i have to make sure that my keyless entry alarms sets itself whenever I leave the vicinity of the car. 9 out of 10 times i look back at my car until it locks and honks itself armed.

Dude are you kidding me? I keep mine parked outside of my bedroom window so that it's the last thing I see when I go to bed and the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning. This does not include when I get up during the night to pee. (Although, I look at it then too!)

That's the excuse I use and I don't even have that option
