Question How many of you do a double take of your ride while walking away in the parking lot?

How many of you do a double take of your ride while walking away in the parking lot like its the last time you'll ever see it? My girlfriend thinks I am retarded and obsessed but I think its LOVE . I think that everybody does. What are your thoughts?

ALWAYS! I'm thinkin it will go away eventually but I always look back and say to myself 'man, I can't believe thats my car'
I've had a couple girlfriends that had me sayin that but it was on looks only, none of them had a heart like a 4Liter V8

LOL I was on a date on Saturday and I just kept passing empty parking spaces in the complex, so she's like "what are you doing, you just passed 3 empty spots?" I'm like "I only park on the end, that way if I get dinged all to hell its only on ONE side!!" LOL

I think I do no less than 3-4 takes everytime I walk away (this includes when I go out to the driveway to get something out of the glovebox).

Just love looking at it that much.

I hate when I park in another HEMISPHERE in parking lots, all by myself, only to come out and find a complete bucket parked less than 2 centimeters away

Yup I do the same. Since I use the car as a daily driver, sometimes parking is not optimal. Sometimes with kids in tow, I am not going to park in the boonies and make my kids walk. If I can't do an end spot, I head for the largest space between as nice of cars as possible. The problem is you can't guarantee that these cars will still be there when you come back. It might be a HUGE SUV by the time you get back.
