Corvette Awareness
While you drive down the road in your vette, how conscious are you that you are actually driving a vette?
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.)

All together now..."We're all normal. Nothing is wrong with us. We just like our cars. Hours spent on forums and hours spent caring for our means of transportation is perfectly OK. We're all normal."
