I don't just look back at it, sometimes I can't resist but go back and touch it again, other times I just look at it, then look at other cars in the car park & have a big grin on my face (that really piss*s o** any one passing by , as they know exactly what my grin says about their car).

When I park my car and walk away from it I always look back at it because it looks soo darn good. Do you look back at your car?
==================================


Yes and I find myself looking back at my Bimmer often, I also always try to get end parking lot spaces too, and always park as far away from the car next to me, because I hate these jealous idiot people, (LOL), that give us "DOOR DINGS" that cost us big bucks to have repaired, $$$$ if we don't park our fine BMW's that way! Just my two cents worth!! (LOL)

Yes. I do look back at my car, mainly to make sure that i didnt park too close to the car next to me. Am extremely particular abt "dings" on my car as well. Also, since i just replaced my 18" with my 19"M5 wheels, i have been constantly admiring it from afar, especially when it is parked next to another E60 with standard 17" wheels. Mine looks so much better!!! LOL

Sometimes I look back, come back, open it again, open the door, sit inside, clean some wooden parts and then go away again with a glance

definitely look back, gotta make sure I folded the side mirrors, if i'm between cars (very rare) i gotta make sure I've got enough space to not get a door ding. But manly I just like to look at my car, does that sound vain or superficial?

I always look back...and on the sides and make sure that there is enough room for her so that she stays undisturbed while I am gone.
