Default Car admiration

Do you guys find yourselves slowing down when you see your car in the window reflection of a building? Do you go out to the garage for no reason but to look at the car at various angles? Do you almost run into things as you're walking away from the car because you're looking over your shoulder at it? I've had my car for six years now and I still can't stop looking at it. These things are works of art on wheels!

Been doing that since I was 16 years old! We had our favorite windows on each of our cruise routes

You have company... when I drive by shop windows, I drive slowly and look at the silohuette... when I park the car, I turn around and look at it: low and squat... admire the haunches and the deep wheel wells... been doing it for years...

The pride of ownership. Every time I start the car it is a happy event. I guess when you have wanted one for your entire life, this is to be expected. Going on my 3rd year of ownership.

I drive behind those big tankers on the freeway - you know, the ones with the shiny reflective mirror-like backs...

There is a corner pharmacy with floor to ceiling windows close to my house and a stop sign next to it. Needless to say I always make sure I make a complete stop and look both ways before proceeding.
