Gazing

My wife thinks I'm nuts because I'll go out to the garage a few times a day, just to gaze and admire my C7. Is this normal behavior?

Yup. I'll occasionally glance back at it in a parking lot when we're headed into a store or restaurant but never go out to the garage to see it.

If you don't do that, you bought the wrong car.

Maybe you should be gazing at your wife? She is sending you a message!

Ha Ha, Maybe someday it will subside, but right now I love gazing, staring, googling, and surveying every inch of the C7. A true piece of American Automotive Art. Beautiful C7 tusc6!

I enjoy looking at my Z, drink a beer and listen to some 60's tunes. Look at her every night making sure the garage doors are closed, lol OCD.

This is one of the main reasons I am hesitant to get a car cover. If I haven't driven the car during the day, I will just go down to the garage to get my corvette fix.

It's completely normal. I still do that and I'm on my 9th Vette and it's nearly 13 years old.

Completely normal. Mine is in a basement garage and I go to the basement for many different reasons, being its the basement. For months after delivery I'd say "WOW" out loud when I'd see it sitting there. If you don't think this car is totally awesome then you've lost your mind.

Yes completely normal, and with the weather the way it's been the past couple days, I can see us "Up-North" guys shedding a tear when we put her to bed for the winter SOON!!! -- that sucks!!
