Tonight........

I walked out to my car just now at 12:15am. and what I saw absolutley stunned me. Sitting there was a beautiful car that I am whole heartedly proud to call my own. I don't know why but every now and then I just look at my car and I can't believe that I own something so great. It is one of the few things in my life that I am proud to say is mine.

I just really had to say that, I love my car.

Yeah, you've got it bad. JUST LIKE ME!! When I sit out on my porch I sit and stare at my cars (used to be car). My kids will catch me and say, "Dad, you're doing it again." Having one was amazing, having two is . . . well it's . . . it's kinda like . . . it's . . . INDESCRIBABLE!

When you guys are running errands or anything, do you park kinda far away to avoid door dings? I do, but then when walking towards the store I'm always looking back at my car. HeheHEhe.

That's the double benefit of parking far away from the store - fewer door dings and the walk back.

I have tripped over many a shopping cart, for this very reason.

I've seen you walk. You bumping into things has nothing to do with looking at your car, unless you're looking at weatherstripping.

LOL! Yes, but I was examining the weatherstripping after an altercation with a can containing a curious "widget!"

That is Wedgie Randy. The can goes in the Wedgie!
I have found it difficult to trip and roll on the ground gracefully enough to make it look like I did it on purpose. Usually after about a dozen people come running to my aid, I point to my car and yell "Look! Is that a SVX?" When they look around at my car, I run into the store.

my wife thinks cars and bikes are just transportation

As I park in my garage, the bumper is about four feet away from my Norton Commando. It's pretty hard to describe to an "outsider" how I feel about looking at the design lines for certain machines - oh sure, it's publically acceptable to hang a painting and stare at it for hours, but a car or bike?

Maybe the most valuable thing about this forum to me is so I don't feel so all alone (everybody must get stoned - sorry, way off topic - apologies to B Dylan).

I think I'm obsessed with my car. Some people think I'm weird because after I park my car I would stand there and stare at her and keep looking back as a walk away. My brother thinks I worship my car. He caught me talking to my car, then he suggested I should see a therapist. LOL

I just love her so much. She's just the most beautiful thing I ever owned.

Well said, lee. I've always thought of my SVX as a gift from God. Now I'm waiting for him to get me something from the early seventies with two wheels and 'Isolastic' vibration damping. (No, I don't mean my wife.)

I recall it well. You had a grin on your face when you took your knife out. With a single stab, you poked it and took the ball out. ahhhhhhh!
