The number of times I've tripped over my girlfriend while staring at my car. It's no wonder I don't sleep on the couch everynight.
She just gives me that look
Wouldn't be so bad if she let me put the couch in the garage.

I do not do that!
I never, er seldom, OK I always look damnit, but I can quit anytime!
I am not a vetteaholic. I have never been obsessed with a car, I mean it is just a car right?
Ok I admit I am in denial, but this is an addiction that I am not ready to Give up.

Everytime. After 7 months I still can't believe that I drive a Vette

I do this every time I drive my car. Usually I take a longer look at it if I have just done an exterior mod.

I am a back-looker. I got into that habit to make sure my headlights were turned off...but I have to say I mostly do it just to see that doggone C5 sitting there. Whatta Car!
I am also a window-reflection gawker - I try to see the car's reflection in store windows when I drive by...

Still hasn't hit home that I own a Corvette. That must be why I have to look back every time I park it...make sure I'm still in reality

Think it's in the owner's manual somewhere in small print that you will develop this obsessive-compulsive disorder with your Corvette ESPECIALLY after each new mod

Oh yea, and to make it worse.... I usually try to park in the first spot so I can look out the window at it all day when I'm at the office 
I use the excuse that I'm making sure it's not getting damaged by another parked driver/car but it's really to just stare at it (almost sad, but I admit it!)

It saves on washing time too because since I don't look at it for a month I don't care how dirty it is...huh?
Freakin' Wierdo.... Seriously though, I can't believe how many of ya'll do that. When I park (out in the boonies) I always make sure I can get a good view of it as I enjoy my long walk back.
I thought I was wierd or something... you guys are scary.
BUT I'M WITH YA...
