Do you turn around to admire at your car?

[sky07]

Ok time to fess up.

After you go some place and park your car do you find that
you turn around and admire your car looks once or twice
while you are walking away?

I find I do automatically without thinking about it.
I sometimes turn around with my other cars to make the sure the lights are
off or something but with with my 325i I find myself thinking
to myself, "What a great looking car!"

I have to admit though while I had grey sideskirts I would
turn around and think, "I've got to get rid of those ugly
grey sideskirts."

[jhstealth]

Haha yea i think it too, i sometimes think damn i wish there were two there lol guess i need to buy another one :)

[RQUINN]

All The Time

[MaxxChris]

Every single day! Then I think "how long till I get to drive her again?":D

[HU55LL]

HAHAHAHA yes yes i always do, thats y i reverse into 90 degree parks just so i can see the front when i walk away.

[mzmtg]

[darthE36]

shittt, im looking at her now! But yea, at least twice every time.

[CrazyCoder]

Guilty as charged. :D

I recently drove my 323 to Michigan, about 1200 miles, and also found myself checking out the car in reflections off other vehicles. I almost drove off the road looking at my car reflected in the shiney chrome rims of a 4x4 in South Carolina. :eek:

[vawrvawerawe]

every time I leave it; even though right now the driver's side is screwed up still because some f*cking woman ran into me, I still look at it all the time and admire it's beauty; and I look on the dents with compassion and sorrow.

[NHbmw325I]

its been in my garage for a few days so I see her plenty of times.

[|TIG|]

Of course...and then I think about how much I need to fix the splitters and put them back on. (Driveway Hill > Velocity Splitters)

[jehuflores]

I always look at her as if it were the last time I'd ever see her again

[stevekdx220]

I do the look back and hope the next time I see it in the college parking lot it has no dents or keyed marks in it.

[beem3]

yep

[oomz1975]

Oh yeah...

[RahgBag]

Every time I park it, I turn around and look back.

[Euro91]

Guilty. :)

[alec328]

every time i get out of my car

[Russ[]]

I think all of us are guilty.

[motentra]

i look back, turn back around, the turn back again, and say to myself: "dang that car is a beast" - like 4 times a day

[johnshardrive]

I turn around and think to my self "I hope no one steals her or dings her while I am inside"

[WV Jim]

Heck, I proposed to my car, but so far she hasn't accepted.

[spoonerDee]

every chance i get i look to admire, where ever i am. cant help it.

I go to the window and look out side and stare at it, from home and work.

[NYst4te0fm1nd]

everytime i get out of the car i turn around and look at it. sometimes i walk back to make sure everything is alright, doors are locked, tires look good etc. i often peep out of my window, too, to catch a glimpse of it like its a hot chick (which it basically is).

[read71]

I've had this car for years and just can't get tired of watching it...
So much people notice... I have even left the resturant to move it to a spot I can see it while eating....lolol, I would have to tell the wife I forgot something in it... but she knows....lolol

I have a 92 325IS...if it was a E36 M3!!!!!!!! I would certainly have to be committed for reasons of insanity.... I really don't think M3 drivers really understand what they have.

I did until people started hitting my car. They're trying to beat it down to a little piece of scrap metal.

[chaosryderM3]

Guilty as charged.

I look back atleast twice as I walk away from my car.

we do
but i still love my 3 series more

[jasonf860]

I always admire my car after I get out. I also care detailing spray and a microfiber cloth in the trunk for when I stop and have time to kill. My car is NEVER dirty.

[Grey Phox]

I turn around......just to make sure i parked ok and no ones around it kinda. Yes and no to the admiring part.

[ajnavo61490]

my cars in the shop gettin body work done but when its out imma be drooling while im admiring her!!

[Dominguez]

I do this almost ALL THE TIME now. I park at work or at a parking lot or wherever I'm at, as I'm walking away, I'm looking back at my car multiple times.

[jarozila]

Hmmmmm....... Yes!! Sad but true.

I still really like the body shape of the my E36. I often see newer models and most just don't do it for me - shape wise at least.

[OptionlessM]

i dont anymore because its hard to hide a boner in the pants i wear :eyebrows

[catch22]

yes but not because I adore it, it's just cuz I'm paranoid about scratches in black cars, so I'm always checking.

[zx7rhitch]

Every day

[bimmer 323 is]

always...even when shes a little dirty...then i think of what i want to do next to the car :)

[Spdaddict516]

every time i go somewhere. walk about ten feet, turn around, smile, and then strut

[M3Rob95]

drrr i think we all do, whether we realize or not. period.

[L36328]

I refuse to go to restaurants or cafes if I cannot park in front where I can see it.

[BMW525i]

of course, i look back at least twice without even realizing it;and that's why all of us own bmw's

[Ronnaferd]

I look back as well and think "man I need to get some bigger rims" :D

[E36 Phantom]

Always. usually 2 or 3 head turns, one of them followed by an under the breath "Damn that's a beautiful car!"

[coosk8er55]

ever since i got the M DS II's its been a tootally different ride

[bmslug]

Yes. I also endanger myself and others on the road when I look at the reflection as I drive by windows that go all the way to the ground.

[TIMSGT]

Yup, when I'm at work I can't wait to get off just to hop in my car and drive 1 mile back home.

[Goon]

I'm a strange one when it comes to my car. I stop, turn around stare in awe of it sexiness, and sometimes if I'm feeling particularly emotional, I whip out my camera phone and snap a quick picture.

The other day, a girl was looking through my phone, "why do you have so many pictures of your car?" which goes to show how often I do it. If only she saw all the photos on the computer :(

[jasonf860]

Yes. I also endanger myself and others on the road when I look at the reflection as I drive by windows that go all the way to the ground.

lol Don't know if I endanger anyone, but +2

[irvine6]

I always looked back atleast twice because its such a nice car!!

That was until yesterday when i sold my baby and had to look at her 1 last time as she was driving off into the distance :( heartbreaking! :(

I had to sell her to fund my new business but if everything goes well i will be buying a new one!! :) lol, i'll still be checking these forums tho!

[JayStayJigged]

lol omg my girl was just making fun of me cause of this.. when i look back im thinkin damn my car is sexy but to bad im getting rid of her by dec to get the e46 = (

Where is the 'Duh!' button on a laptop keyboard??

:D

[///Montizzle]

If you dont. Sell it. B/c you dont love her enough :(

[spoonerDee]

i forgot to mention, i have had friends get in and drive past me in it so i could watch/listen to it go by :stickoutt

x2 guilty as charged :D

[bmw440]

[Linds]

I also purposely drive by shiny buildings so I can look at my car's reflection as I pass. :)

[sPoofe36]

I do for sure... "thats one sexy car" i say to myself, once I though it talked back to me... might have been the wind...

[jr1966]

Yup, all of them, except the MB.

[stevo99]

Guilty as charged. My wife thinks I have a problem, but she just doesn't understand....
+1 on the shop windows too. Also if I'm in a tunnel or driving beside a solid median barrier, I wind down the window and gun it just to hear her scream a bit.

I think the E36 is the sexiest 3 series produced IMO. The later models just don't do it for me.

[LAWLence]

Based on the amount of money I've thrown into pointless mods for my car, I'm obligated to do so :P

[95325i]

I used to love the way my car looked before. Now the I have the ACS wheels refinished I think WOW that is one nice looking car. I love th way it looks. I also check the car out while i am driving down the road with the reflection from another car or building.

I always look at the car at lest once before I leave her in a parking lot, while i am inside all that is on my mind is if my car is ok.

I do get a break during the week because it is under a cover and i don't get to see it till the weekend.

[Travis C]

everyday when i park in the school lot... i also have to park the furthest away so no one will park next it...

[szed]

I think the E36 is the sexiest 3 series produced IMO. The later models just don't do it for me.

I'd have to agree with ya on that. e30 and e36 are classic to me.

And count me as guilty too. I love looking from the 3/4 view from the rear toward the front especially when I'm running maximum front camber. :love1

I really like the e36 M3 4-door. That's just sexy...:boink
