After 17 months, I'm worse than ever. Anybody able to quit the "look back and admire" habit?

I always look back a few times because I am totally neurotic and paranoid that something bad will happen to it.
They have yet to invent the drug to successfully deal with E60 anxiety.

I beg to differ. His gf looks absolutely radiant when wet.

It's actually getting worse. I look back, I go back for nothing and I've started parking it where I can see it as I walk to it to leave work. And I am taking more pics of it today that when it was new (as if it's OLD now)

[snapback]14582[/snapback]
of course I look back - to admire and check she is ok

I also like to look at 'our' reflection in large shop windows ( I slow down if I'm not in a queue ) but don't tell anyone.

I also have her pictures as my desktop.
