Purposely driving by glass windows on buildings - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Tee304 · 03-17-2010, 09:09 AM

Does anyone else have windows that they drive by purposely to see themselves in their Camaros? I have a series of them past my job that I will pass by to see myself. I have to turn around after to get back to work however. Sounds a bit selfish and arrogant, but I love this car and how it reflects in the windows, not to mention when it's sunny and it shines even more.

Do it all the time, my Wife just rolls her eyes at me!!

LOL! I was just thinking about posting this same question. Yeah I'm guilty of doing this all the time. I'm just afraid I'll rear end somebody while I'm staring at myself in a building.

Most of us do it.

In our circle of C5 it is normal but most outside our circle thinks we are stupid and it is childess for doing it. IMO

That's the one thing I CAN'T STAND! That I can't see my car from the outside and hear it driving!

I'll be asking my gf to do some drive-by's so I can see/hear & take some photos. I'll have to find some mirrored buildings!

I love seeing other Camaro's driving by!

when i first got the car i looked for a shiny car to follow so i could figure out what the different headlight settings did.

Every chance I get, and I slow down too...lol

I haven't done that yet, but I have taking longer routes to my destination so I can drive longer, or if I see another Camaro I will turn and follow it for a little then go back the way I need to.

I always do it when I can but I think a completely blacked out car looks best in a mirrored window... IMO

There is one mirrored exterior building on my commute home, just after completing a turn so I'm runing relatively slow - I always seek a look especially when the other side of the road is clear and no one is up my six.
