Default Looking Back At Your Car

After you have parked your car, gotten out, and starting walking away from it. How many people look back at it ?
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.

Every friggen time!

I also sometimes just stare at in in the garage and still can't believe its mine after almost 3 years of ownership. I also have over 1000 pics of my vette on my HD at home.

Always. And that's another reason I park far out in the lot. More time to look at it when I'm going back to the car.

Always.

Sometimes at night, when I'm thinking about it, I'l wander out to the garage just to stare at it. It's been almost 2 years and I still can't believe that beautiful vehicle is mine and in my garage.

Without hesitation! Especially after it's just been washed. Hell, I've been known to "TALK" to my car while it's just sitting there in the garage!

My name is 4RE Killer...I have a crush on my car!

I look at my Vette several times as I'm walking away. It's amazing I can even leave it!
