Anothe addict here. 
I have also noticed that other drivers either give you a wide birth or try to run over you.
I'm getting old and I love to look at the faces of people my age in ther 4 dr Olds or Buicks looking at you and saying "Wow I couda had a Corvette."

Doctor, Doctor, I think I got it!
Your not alone. To me I always wanted to be a Pilot and please excuse me for those members who are, but this is as close as I can get to that freedom of well being. hopefully there is no cure!

I'm significantly aware of what I am driving.
Not from a "hey look at me" perspective, more from a "this is an eff-ing great ride, can't wait for the next safe opportunity to go WOT, take a hard corner, stop on a dime, etc."
Is this common, or should I seek professional help? (I'm thinking that a track qualifies as prof help.)

"Hey look at me" thing. Truth is, is that I couldn't care less if anyone
ever sees me or knows that I have this car.
I never bring it up in conversation and if someone else does, I
downplay it and change the subject.
I wish I could drive on the road and never, ever see another car.
It's more my enjoyment only.

I don't know who I am. I have lost all self awareness. The vette is under wraps in the garage waiting for Spring. Haven't driven it since early November. My waving arm is out of shape. I think the grin from my last ride in Nov has worn off. I am miserable. Maybe I should start drinking??

During the winter I drive an old Ford Explorer however I think about the vette while I am driving. I think about shifting and taking the next curve in the road. I find myself waving to the brave ones that drive their vettes in this weather. I guess I am also a vette a Holic. Otherwise why would I be on this forum every night???
