I couldn't agree more. Its like its sad when your leaving. I love it when I'm coming back. I know I'm going to get to drive her. Its differnet too as compared to when I'm going to get to drive her after she's spent the night in the garage. Yep!! R/ Al

Always and I make sure to hear that honk for the lock atleast 3 times... call me crazy but I also park it atleast 100 feet away from every car when I go somewhere and sometimes my girlfriend catches me staring at my car.

Actually my turn and look habit stems from driving cars 'back in the day' without chimes for lights on reminder. That looking back reflex has saved my azz many times..
