How many times do you?

oc63rag · Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2005 10:19 pm Post subject: How many times do you?

I was going to the store tonight and I realized that after I park, while walking away from my car, I turn around to admire it at least three or four times.
Am I the only one that does this?

I would, but here in So Cal, there too many damn good looking women to look at. With all that cardio, aerobics and what not....oh yeah the silicone who has time to admire cars?

yup, I do that too. At least five times a day while it is in the driveway. I usually go up to a window.... of couse mine is not on the road yet, so I can't talk about checking it out at a store....but I do drive it illegally down a massachusetts' road every now and then. Of course after the local cops have already driven their route down my street, then off I go.

I always look out my window and admire my babies. I have taken pictures of all my rides and keep them on my desk at work, along with a pic of the girlfriend. It's cool to watch the progression they take while being restored.

Yea, I do that too. I especially like walking past some guy who was just looking at it and listening to him tell his wife/girlfriend about it. Always puts a smile on my face.

I go into the garage just to rub the roof line of mine. I will probably walk backwards when I get out of it when I finally get it on the road. Right now my desktop on my computer at work is a picture of my work in progress.

Oh yeah....

Current beetle project isn't to the "level" of my last bug. I used to go to the garage and drink a beer and just stare at it, run my fingertips down the sides of the awesome paint job. It was very cool. I still have a pic of it on the "beer fridge" in the garage. I love that car. It was a great project. Good times!

That's great to know I'm not alone. Whenever I park at a restaurant, I always try to get a table where I can look out the window and see my DC...
Smile

always nice to have a great view while eating...

The best part is when you get a new goodie for it, I'll always stand back and look at it then! Cool
