Every single time. It's like putting on my seatbelt--almost an involuntary response to the environment. Not that I care, but I suppose "regular people" think I'm checking to see if I left my headlights on, while other "car guys" totally understand. What I really enjoy is the long walk across the parking lot, as I am usually way in the back as far from others as possible. That allows me several minutes to stare straight at her as I approach. It's not vanity; it's appreciation of a fine machine.

My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
I mash the little Roundel on the remote, then unlock and then another Roundel squeeze so everyone hears a bunch of ding-dings and turn around to look at it.
S**t, I might wear out my freaking remote Roundel!

alot og you guys in US say you get door dings but your carparks space are very big, at lest 1meter apart.
In HK you be lucky to get over 500cm apart.
about 95% of HK carparks I need to fold the side mirrors.
