I look back all the time, sometimes twice. Heck I will stop to just look at her and maybe give her a little pat on the fender as I walk by

I look back every time with the Vette and my other cars I've owned. When I first bought my Acura someone at work drove past as I was doing the look back and gave me some grief about it. Hey I like my cars and enjoy looking at them go figure...

Never ever ever look back, but I do park it out in the boonies so I get a nice long look at it when I'm coming back

Peace

I would think that it would be odd for a Corvette owner to not look back...

Sure I do... multiple times, too. I have plenty of times I can do it since I park about 1/2 mile from everyone else.

I look back. Think I see a smudge, walk back to car, open trunk to retreive microfiber towel, wipe smudge away, put towel back in trunk, close trunk, walk away, look back, repeat until satisfied.

PLEASE tell me I am not alone!

I leave the door between the kitchen and garage open, just so I can look out at it. Then, I go out and sit in it and make "vroom vroom" engine noises while I listen to the radio.

I AM nuts!! and my wife gives me eternal crap for it.

When is spring going to get here?
