Can you park and then walk into work/home/store.. whatever WITHOUT looking back at your car at least once?

I can't do it.

Does this ever go away?

I always have to look back to make sure how I got to where I'm at wasn't a dream.

Even my lowly C2 gets a turnaround glance...that's why we bought these cars in the first place.

I just observe the situation around it for the last time. Also I like to see how the car sits in different slopes and angles. It's like a girl, some days it just looks nicer than others. But for sure the car is always strategically parked to protect it from savage kids and people who don't give a F***.

I am around 20+ Porsche everyday and I still take a minute or two to look them over, even the ones that I have seen everyday for 2 years.

When you get the sickness its really hard to get rid of it!

I park far, far away then look back multiple times. The return walk to the car is GREAT!!!!! as I get to look at it for a long, long time.

At work, I always try to park in a spot where I can see my car from my desk, although it isn't always possible.

I can see it right now, though!!

I always look. And at work, I park my car at the far end of the garage where I can see it as soon as I enter the garage and walk across the garage and straight to it. A great way to end the day at work...
