Default Looking back

After you park your car somewhere and start walking away, how difficult is it to not look back at least once?

Very hard for me...

Impossible to not look back. I would look back at least three to four times until it disappear from my sight

Are you kidding? I look back when I park in my garage!!

Right now, it's parked outside my office, and I keep looking out the window!!

I also always look back after I park in my garage! Sometimes I open the door leading to my garage just to steal a peek at the car. I'm such a baby, but what are you going to do -- this is my dream car!

This reminds me of a great print ad Porsche had some years ago. Now if I can just figure out how to post it here...

I park my DD outside, the P car is in the garage. Rather than the direct route out the front door to my DD I always walk through my garage for a peak!

When you're getting ready for bed, perimeter check, doors locked, is it humanly possible to finish without one last look ...?

I'm getting a portable webcam that I can discreetly place by the car in the parking lot so that I can continue to view her on my smart phone until I'm back.

Webcam keeps eye on car at work plus it is right outside my window. Only drive to work when it won't rain

Did it with my 993 and continue to do it with the 991. If any of you get the chance, get a buddy to video the car in motion from behind. I have not done it but I have followed a convoy of 991s before and the 991 in motion from a couple of car lengths behind is spectacular. The wider and visually lower stance of the car is beautiful.

Looks like you've owned enough of these to know they don't melt in the rain
