Do you do the "look back"?

So how many of you do this when you park your ride and walk away from it. It's like i cant help it. I have to look at it from front to back.. Like I'm giving my self conformation that everything will be fine when i return. lol.

I do that and I don't even have an M car. I usually do 2-3 look backs as I make my way to the office. If you don't love your car, you are doing it wrong

I'm as well always bothering my girlfriend by asking her to give a glance back at this beauty. I only want the best for both of us, she wouldn't know what she was missing otherwise

I look back all the time except at the gas station. When I'm dressed like I can't afford a car like that, they look at the car then look at me the rest if the way.

Always look back, sometimes when looking for a cafe to eat in, I find one within view of the car so I can sit and watch it, not for damage etc but just so I can admire it

I always look back when I walk away and think someday when the warranty runs out, this is going to bankrupt someone!

I look back, multiple times, every single time. It is irresistible.

I often look back. To check out the car and also to make sure I set the e-brake and the car is not rolling out of its spot. I am sometimes paranoid about that although I don't think it has every happened to me.

Always look back.

I've done that with all my cars, even the Prius.
