I do that, and sometimes I even do a double take on a car that isn't mine, as long as I was just in that car. Lol. It's like a good, bad habit.

Why is it bad you ask? You may be doing a double take on your/someone else's car, and in the process you could walk into a large object such as a pole or a parked car.

Thats awesome! That movie was pretty good too, except for the crappy ending. Nicholas Cage was great in it.

Insurance will likely do nothing in that case. I'd demand some form of payment for a repaint and if they didn't comply, well, lets just say I have followed people back to there house for less...

My family just saw my car over the weekend for the first time and they could not believe that it was a '98. So yeah, I turn and look. Better than looking at all the girls in the little clothing this time of year.
