Oh damn, I just notice the hotties in the sweet black shorts. I was to busy checking out your vette.

Always... I love getting back into it more how-ever, because I don't feel so stupid for turning around to see it so often... lol.

I don't believe , certainly can't recall ever buying a car that I wasn't proud of. There have been a few DD communter beaters when I was real young that were just that.... transportation.

At 60 y/o I still do the walk away look back.

Just like meeting a fine looking woman, one (males) can not help but take a second or third look as you walk away........

Let's face it, the C5 has the same kind of appeal as a sexy girlfriend. You just can't stop looking at those wonderful curves and bumps.

Each and everytime, even try to be discreet in busier parking lots. The walk back is always the best, damn I'm obsessed.

My name is Speedy... and I have a look-back addiction

I also love it when I open the garage and see that sexy butt parked in there. I'm obsessed and wouldn't have it any other way
