Have been known to go into the store and then pop back out to take another look.

Hi, my name is Chris and I've been addicted to my car for 9 months and 15 days...

I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do it. Sometimes I think people look @ me like "look @ that guy staring @ his car... what a weirdo". But I take comfort in knowing that I am not alone.

I am also a window-gawker... I LOOOOVE store fronts w/ mirror tinted windows!!!

EVERYTIME!!!!!
In fact, I look in my garage every hour when I'm at home just to make sure they still there. 2 Corvettes look so good in my garage.

I hope there aren't any insurance people watching this forum. I'd hate to give them another reason (tripping, neck tweeking, walking backwards, compulsive disorders, etc.) for raising my medical premiums...

'Cause I'm GUILTY AS CHARGED! :o

Since I'm a father of four boys I have a rubber neck and I have eyes in the back of my head. I do not need to turn around and walk backwards to see my car. So I do not have a problem with falling down.
