I still park way out in the lot at a store,,,,not for door dings,,,,so I can look at the car all the way back to her!

I love the look of a c5 FRC or z06, especially the rear view.. I look back every time I walk away. I also feel bad putting miles on her but I can't stop driving the car, it's a whole different feel coming from Cobras to a z06.

Appaerntly it has evolved into a nasty "habit". I had to take my Vette in today to the Dealership for some warranty work and they gave me a Black Chevy Cobalt to drive (with roll-down windows, manual mirrors, the works!). My first stop was the Gym and I got out of the car, locked it started to walk inside the gym and did the customary look-back. I am still washing my eyes out!

Yep, I still do it. I wanted a red C5 ever since I first saw one when I was 12. I guess even though I'm 25 now I still can't believe that I own my dream car.

How many here make sure that when sitting in a restaurant that they get a spot where they can look out the window and admire their Vette?
