Do you like to look at your car?

[Garlick]

I do.

I like to look at it on the drive from the windows at home, I like to look it it from the windows of the office too.

This afternoon I managed to park it in view of my table outside the pub so I could admire it all afternoon. I even caught a few people having a good look at it (Lexus) which pleased me.

Surely I'm not alone in this slightly odd pastime?

[Lefty]

Not the golf I paid £20k for but I'd look at my £2k land rover all day long

[carreauchompeur]

Oh, I'm there. I was particularly bad with my old A8, catching a sly look at her arse after I parked up.

[matsmith]

I choose where to park on the basis of the angle I will get to look at her at when I am walking back.

That's completely normal, right?

[ambuletz]

I usually give it a good seeing to when I'm parked outside the local chinese or pizza takeaway, waiting for my order.

[BDR529]

Yes, I can stare at it all day long from here.

I also can't help looking back at it whenever I park up somewhere.

[W00DY]

You should be locked up. You're claiming that there are others who find a Lexus interesting to look at.

The Merc or the TVR and I'd understand completely, but a car which Toyota completely forgot to style?

I am rather terrible for wlaking backwards away from any of my motors.

[davepoth]

I washed my car twice today because it looked dirty from the window...

[deveng]

I only like to look at my car when I'm driving it (think shop window reflection).

Does that make me super duper vain?

This is also helpful if you have a habit of leaving lights on.

I wish, what a day for the TVR. I miss it terribly.

As for the LS, I find it very handsome actually.

This has happened to me a few times.

Nope. I love to take a sneaky glance at mine. I like seeing other people look at it too.

[HonestIago]

Its more when I park somewhere and walk away, can't help but turn round for a quick look, several times as I walk off!

[LukeBird]

Yep, I do!

[Harji]

I look at mine every night before I go to bed.

I think you have dirty windows.

[cslgirl]

Yes. So much so we are contemplating changing the side garden fence to a gate so the car can be driven into the back garden.

BBQ, beer and a beauty to look at. Happy days.

[MattOz]

Yup. There's something deeply satisfying, for a true petrolhead, about spending time looking at their car and taking it all in.

[parapaul]

I do now I missed half a film on TV the other night because i was admiring the sunset reflecting off the freshly washed bodywork...
