I'm lucky because I can sit in my classroom and look across the driveway just outside my window and keep an eye on Red Racer all day long. I catch myself admiring that NXT shine, or those S/S inserts etc. etc.
Plus I get to push the lock button, illuminating the back-up lights, to startle the kids that get too close...

I wouldn't buy a car that wasn't a "look back". After almost 20 years with my 86 Z28 I still look back at it. There's nothing like driving a car that you're proud of.

...and I thought I was the only sick bastard.
And yes whoever's with me rolls their eyes too (they don't understand).
The best is coming back out of the store to the Vette - get a nice long look without cricking the neck.
