I always do that, In fact I have to force myself not to turn around more than twice when I walk away. Also I check the grade of the parking lot when I park to see where the best place to avoid any run away shopping carts. I always try to park at the highest part of the parking lot or far away from everyone else. Then its just a matter of time before my wife starts to complain about having to walk so far to the store entrance..........blah blah blah yada yada yada

I do the same thing!
I also drive in front of storefronts that have large full length windows so I can see it in motion.
Every once in awhile, I let my wife drive my vehicles so I can see and hear the rumble as she drives off.
I guess we all have the same fetishes.

How many of you guys watch your truck in a glass store front as you drive by. I drive past this building going to work. It has like 100ft of mirrored glass on the front.

I love the drive home everyday:-X12

I do. And yes I turn around to look at it when I'm walking away. I will admit that its not my truck on my wallpaper...only because when she grows up she wants to be an F-150 Ext cab 4x4. I do have my web page as Lil Red's though can that be good enough?

I used to have an 80 Bronco- I used to turn around to make sure it hadn't caught on fire! I do still look, though, must be a habit. I look at all the places I have kicked the damn thing, at how much better the new SD next to it looks.... All that will change though.

I love my truck. I park it right up front in the parking lot here at the barracks so every morning, the first thing i see when i walk out is my truck. Puts a smile on my face every day, even though it isn't running right now.

I park at the very farthest row at school. I walk away in the morning, looking back to make sure an idiot doesn't hit it or attempt to desecrate it. But I don't think I have too much to worry about though. Right next to my F-250's spot is a lifted Ranger and next to that is a F-150. We call it Ford Truck Row even though at the end sits a Z71 eyesore. We actually admire each other's trucks cause one of us is always putting something new on all the time. Oh well, I guess a lot of us are that way.

I do all the samethings. I park far away from everybody. Even though the Bronco is covered in mud right now (Hmmm, Mud vs Brand new Black paint), I turn around constantly and admire it. If I'm leaving to go somewhere with one of my parents or a friend. I stare at it as we pull away. I look at it as I cross the living room. Hell, I'll stand in the doorway and stare for a few minutes. I take everychance I can to look at it. Crap, I even admire it when I'm driving it. I look at my side mirror to look at the side of the truck. I admire how cool the tires look when they're rolling. I can't get enough, he he he.
