Default Do you do the "look back?"
Maybe it's just because my vette is still new to me, but every time I park and go into places, I find myself looking back numerous times to admire my baby from a distance as I'm walking in! I just cannot get enough of the car! I don't think it will ever wear off. How about you guys?

Me too.

I look back. Sometimes I feel funny about doing it, but I still look. They are great looking cars, and I like to look at them.

It still hasn't worn off for me. I have had muscle cars and corvettes for a long time and I still look.

Not only mine, but I like to see other people's too. I like to see what has been done to them and what mods they have made.

Yes, look back to ensure its parked properly, check to see if the security system is on, and to admire its great looks!
