This happens to me every day. I knew that I was not alone.

I just spent the holiday weekend polishing and waxing and my wife was asking me if I was ever going to get done.

I am one happy Corvette owner

I don't go out specifically for a peek. Whenever I do go to the garage for any reason I always check er out though. Its almost like there is a naked woman sitting there, not looking is out of the question.

I though I was alone! My wife really does believe I am nuts. I have re-discovered many of my old CDs, and sitting in the car with a cold brew is my favorite place to listen to music (in the garage, of course). It reminds me of coming of age in the 70's when cruising the back roads listening to tunes was a way of life, and I can admire the car at the same time. My favorite view? Squat down near a rear corner and check 'er out, baby's got back!

I just walked out of a store and could see the vette way across the parking lot where I park it away from cars. Just took my breath away it is so pretty. What a wonderful car.

My wife has been giving me a bad time because I spent so much time in the garage. When I come in she always asks me if I but my girl friend to bed. This Christmas one of my daughters had a licence plate frame made. At the bottom it has the C6 logo and the word Corvette, at the top is says "My Mistress". One of the best Xmas presents I got.

I'm fortunate enough to park mine about 20 feet from my office window. I can (and do) look at it all day! Still go out at night and check again before bed. I'm glad to know it's not just me!

My wife and daughter think I'm a candidate for the Spot The Loony Club.

So--anyone else go out to the garage/driveway/whatever and just....admire?

All the time, 4th Vette, and it just intensifies with each new one!
