You know, I never thought about it before. But, I do it all the time with both the C-5 convt. and the 65 convt..
In the winter I even find myself just going in the garage just to look at the 65. We Love our Vettes and theres no getting around it.

Yes. I look back, every time. I even look back a couple of times when walking away from it. I get to park in a parking garage at work. The lighting in there makes the car look when walking away from it. I need to bring a camera and get a pic of it in the garage... hmm..

I just walk backwards looking at the car until I either can't see it clearly anymore or I run into something since I'm not looking where I'm going.

Do love to look at that car.
