Default Looking...goodnight

Maybe I'm crazy but before hitting the sack in a few minutes I went to the garage and looked at my 2005 DSOM Z51 just sitting there. Wow...what a nice ride! Goodnight.

I hope people don't think that's crazy. I look at my 2006 VY A6 Z-51 every night befor going to bed.

And then I say, "I love you most".

Is that weird???

I do the same thing to my LMB. But then I feel bad for the other toys and I have to look at them too. :o

I do it all the time. In fact, I have a little stool that I sit on by the end of my garage. The stool is a cooler and holds some cold ones. After a long day of waxing, I enjoy looking at my shiny babies.

Nothing crazy about it. I have the exact same car and I do the same thing most every night. This past week I have been practicing my shifts with the engine off in anticipation of going back to the track.

Just make sure the SO is not within earshot, that would be bad news.

Don't just look at it touch it too ! I have the same car ( 2005 DSOM Z51) and go out and look at it then grab some Z-6 and spritz it here and there just for good measure. I love the way the towel glides across the paint after that.

I do the same thing...we talk sometimes. sometimes we just sit together in the garage after she has been all cleaned up. tough part is putting the C6 away for the winter. Its like saying goodbye to a girlfriend that you had a great summer with.
