You'll never calm down. It doesn't go away - in fact, it gets worse. Before you know it, you'll own two.

Two years and counting for me too ... still staring like a teenage boy hitting puberty.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that does that.
Had mine for 3 years now and still living the dream!

Just don't get caught looking over your shoulder as you walk from it in a parking lot.

I prop open the door from my hallway to the garage. As I walk down the hall I see it waiting for me & makes me smile. Kinda like a trophy wife but better since it always does exactly what I tell it to do! Especially since all the "enhancements"!

You know, I was going to say I've gotton over it ... but then a moment of self-reflection kicked in and I said to myself ... I don't peak out windows or open the garage door just to look at it, but I do look at it each time I pass it in the garage or my parking space at work. But what really hit me was your comment as I do plan to buy a 911 in the future. Just not sure what series. Picking a 911 is even tougher than picking an ISMB R&R solution.

It hits me when I walk out of a store and go to the parking lot. I think "Whoa, that's a bad ass car", then "Geez, it's nice that it's mine."
Plus I'm pretty sure that it's coolness rubs off on me and I am cool by association.

My Boxster is one of my "Look Back" cars! I have had a few cars like this that require the almost 180 degree head spin as you walk away.

I have owned my boxster for 11 years and I still look back at her. I would like to get another am considering a 2003+ 996s or 01+ turbo.

Funny. I had to get my car smogged and while I was waiting I kept looking over and thinking "15 yrs old and still a nice looking ride" even though it had track slime and tire snot all over the nose. I waited quite a while and when the guy got to my car he thanked me for waiting and offered me a free car wash next door. Yay... They even got all the tire snot off! A good day.

I still like seeing it parked in the garage. I clay-bar'd it (my first time ever, wow amazing!) and waxed it today and its so shiny, I kept opening the door to look at it again...lol. Hasn't looked that good since I bought it!
