I always look back and often sneak a peek during the day at work, or out to the garage at night. I see I'm not alone in my habit.

I sometimes act like I've "forgotten" something and go back out to the Mustang just to check on it.

OK, not to steal the thread, but what about when you're driving and there's a big window with your (and the car's) reflection... Do you sneak a peak?

Look back? That's a good idea. I get out of the car and walk backwards!

Heck, I look at window reflections so long, I have to be careful not to hit something! It's kinda like starring in your own movie.

Wife is getting jealous, I look back three or four times and at other times I just site there and admire the stang.

The wife says I need help, I just tell her she should be used to it by now, this is not my first Mustang.

I didn't think about it until I read the title on this thread. But I do look back every time and think to myself "Wow, that's a sweet looking car!"

How can you not look? It's impossible.

Thank God, I thought it was just me!

It's funny because I know the sales have been great for the '05-'07s but you still don't see a ton of them which makes it special when you do see one.

Heck, I have a mental list of office buildings w/ mirrored glass that sit right next to the street. I'll sometimes detour five miles out of my way to roll by one on a nice day.

I might be

And yeah, I do the "look back" constantly.

I look back several times until I cant see it anymore, and keep looking and parked as far away from every other car possible.

I've gotten that response many times myself!! I look back at it to make sure the lights flash when the doors lock, but usually thats it. It's just too sad to keep looking back while I walk away...it's best to just get it over with.

Even after owning it over a year...I look back.

I look back even more after a good wash-n-wax.

My wife "caught" me staring out the window the other day. I used to do the same with my '67 Fastback... for 30 years!
