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?

Funny, I catch me doing just that...and have to laugh at myself.

all the time :)

Sometimes I just wander in to the garage to take a peek! :)

hahaaha never thought about it till you mentioned it!

Am I that conceded?

nah!

After over 6 months of ownership, I still do both. Look back to see it parked and open my garage door to gaze at it. Of course nothing beats driving it.

Only every time I get a chance. like every time.

DITTO

Must be true love.

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?

The Baller is sporting wood!

Often. But I've been doing this with my cars for some time. It's when I stop doing it that I know it's time to get something new!

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!

We all have been smitten by the same affliction it appears.

I do that comming ,going and when I step into the garage, about 10 times a day. Every morning I just stare at it and can't beleive its mine all mine. It's a beauty.

Every time :)

haha i do it almost every time i get out of my car

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!

haha, every single time!

I always found my self doing that with cars I've owned that I really like ..... My wife thinks I'm weird.

funny i noticed this post today, because earlier in the evening my girlfriend noticed that i always do that. its like the commercial where the rx8 hugs the guy back. true admiration

i always do that... its more of a habit now. i cant wait till i get my rx8.. gotta sell my celica first though

I have to catch myself from doing it lest everyone think I'm conceited. Although the urge is strong . . . too strong sometimes!

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 mofo. 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.
