Default Looking back....

Hi,
Just curious, how many of us 928 owners can say that we can park our cars, whether in our garage, a parking lot, anywhere, and go away WITHOUT looking back, at least once?
I know I can't....

Regards

Even though mine is a cosmetic mess (still working on mechanicals), I look back almost always. Especially when it's in my driveway, for some reason. Probably just hoping the paint fairy had visited when I wasn't looking...

I do it every time! Just yesterday, I pulled back the car cover in the garage to take a quick peak (still not on the road as winter is still here in New England).

Of course. At the very least, to find out how well I guessed where the nose ended up.

Guilty and sometimes with a pic just to make sure she is still there when I get back! At the airport when I had to leave her Thursday morning.

Hmmm..I have 24 surveillance camera linked to my smart t.v., and phone, anytime anywhere I need boost, just pull up screen and everything is right with the world again.

Ummm..

Yeah. Of course.

That's like asking if we all listen for a couple seconds after startup. Not listening for problems or funny noises (although that's there too), but just to listen to then sound of the motor idling.

Water is wet and the sky is blue, too.

My garage is about 50 feet from the house, right in front of the kitchen.
When I do the dishes - I do it sometimes! - it often happens that I open the garage door with my remote to have a look at it while in front of the window!

Even after 10 years of ownership, I'm still like day one and can't believe I have that car in my garage!

It was my dream car since I was 16. I'm 52 now.
The dream never fade away.

And a big part of it is the car itself of course, but also because of Rennlist and all the members and parts suppliers without who, I would not be able to maintain and own such a unique car.

Thank you all.

Yes. He says it all. I often go out and just stare. Had a guy in a new Camaro give her props at a stoplight today.
