Do you look back and stare?

Do you look back and stare?
I thought I was weird when I does this..until I saw someone do it too:
8 owner gets out of his car. Then, he locks it. Next walks about six to eight feet away. Then LOOKS BACK, STARES AND ADMIRES THE BEAUTY OF HIS RX-8.
I do this all the time. I had a BIG :D on my face when I saw him do it too. Anyone else do a routine double take on their own 8?

Oh yeah! I try not to look back again, but I'll always catch its reflection on some windows or door glass. I occassionally take a peek at it from my apartment's window too. Wonder how long this is going to last?

Every Day! The only other vehicle I've owned that got even CLOSE to the 8s attention level is my rebuilt CJ-5, but the 8 wins hands down. Actually after too many Guinness' (Guinni) last night, I went to the garage just to see if she was ok!

WHealy has the right attitude. I do it with the 8 and the FD. I used to do it with my 944 and my 280ZX turbo. Hopefully for the rest of my days either my wife or myself will be able to be driving a car worthy of the backwards glance.

Hee Hee! I do it at leat three times a day. Its like pinching yourself to make sure your not dreaming. I go down to in the arage at least twice a nite just to do a lovingly walk around to revel in the beautiful lines of the car!

I look back to admire occasionally. But most of the time, it's to make sure I parked alright, not too close to another car. I'll even keep note of a car I'm parked by (if i've got no choice but to park by another), and sometimes get their plates in case I find a ding when I return. I even look back and around to see if anybody's around noticing the car. Shoot, what can I say? I'm one paranoid ****. Owning the 8's done this to me.
BTW, the thing about getting plates, I've actually only done once b/c I parked in full lot next to a 2 door in some tight spot. I know it's not a trusty sytem, b/c a ding could have been done by another car that parked after they left or whatever. But just shows how crazy I am to ensure nothing happens to my baby.
