And all this time I thought I was just a little nuts for looking back. Glad to know I am not alone!

After 1.5 years I look back every time. In fact I often sit in my garage and stare at it. Hard to explain but you folks understand right?

7 years since new and I still do the look back, in the garage at home or on the road, my car still looks great to me. At least we have a group here who understands each other.

My third one since 2004 and I still look back. I try and park it where I can see most places I go. I love my whip!
