Anybody Else Obsessed?

I am constantly checking on my car for scratches or dings. I check too many times to make sure its locked. AND i just love staring at my car! I feel weird when people catch me doing my routine checkups. I'm away from home at college and can't keep my baby in the garage

I'm sure I will be the same way once I get mine here soon! I just wish I could have had mine in college. You must have a great time with that.

Yes, you are not alone. I won't go into detail, but I am sure some people think I'm nuts.

Perfectly normal, steph. It's a beautiful car and is to be admired by all - including you. Every time I go out to my garage I spot some little speck of something on my SS and, of course, cannot continue on until it is checked out and corrected.

Hahaha. You are not alone. I've owned mine for about 20 months now and I still can't quit looking back at it when going in store or putting away for the day. Just a sexy sexy car..

I stare a lot too, in my garage. I try not to do it in parking lots though because it look lame haha.
I am also paranoid about dings, dents, and scratches. My 2014 came with a ding and when I saw it, it bothered me until I got it PDRd a week and a half ago.

I'm actually on the first floor at my apartment and I usually get my favorite parking in front of my window. Next to the rival!

I would be checking for dings everyday if this thing parked that close to my door everyday too lol.

My neighbors say I have a fetish for washing mine weekly. Mines garaged kept- never seen rain in its life either. 5k miles this year and planning on putting her to sleep in November for winter hibernation!

Isn't it funny when someone views a weekly washing as obsessive. I always get the "You're going to wash the paint off that thing" comment. Sorry, I clean my car when it's dirty.
