Does anyone else do this?

Sometimes, when I'm driving next to other cars, I admire the reflection of my own car in their paint. It works best on black cars.

What I find that works even better is drving on the highway next to one of those polished gas tankers...that way you can see yourself for as long as you can stay next to it. It also gives you a lower profile look whether you're low or not!

I do all listed above. Also, I like to watch my car the few times someone else may be driving it without me in it or when the service guy brings it around from being serviced. What can I say I love getting a chance to watch my car while it's rolling.

Oh and I also park far away in parking lots. But not so I can avoid door dings, but so I can get the maximum amount of admiration time on the way out to the car.

I admit I do that as well but not for the same reason. I do it for the exercise. I am trying to lose some LBS. But that's a good reason too!

Guilty of almost all of the above. Does anyone else sit in the car after pulling in the driveway for a few before turning the engine off and going in the house?

When parking I always glance back 3 times, and when coming to the car I do a walk around to inspect for dings. I also admire the reflection, but it caused me to almost rear end someone once!

get you wrong? nah...this is a maxima forum after all. your poll so far supports your behavior too. just be sure to admire your lady at home as much as you do your car.

oh and to keep this from becoming OT....i always sneak a look back at my car after i've parked it, even when it's dirty!

After 15 years of marriage I no longer have to worry about petty things like that, she love the cars as much as I do and I do it mostly for the sport of it!
