I always do that, and my wife calls me on it!

This habit has actually saved me from leaving headlights on and leaving the doors unlocked. So there really is a point to it!

Absolutely. Occasionally my wife needs the 4Runner during the day, and something even better is listening to the Magnaflow as she drives away...

Guilty on both counts. I even caught myself staring at the reflection of my 4Runner from the vehicle in front of me. That's my baby!

how about when you go out to eat ... do you try to get the seat that faces the window so you can keep an eye on it.

My girl hates that .. she says something about I need to pay attention to her or something .. blah blah blah ...

My wife knows exactly what seat to give me.

A true gem is an end spot with a view from the window.

well put.

i also tend to parallel park allowing my grille guard to be closer to the car in front, so that if that guy backs into me, he hits the guard and gets f-ed over, leaving the guy behind me plenty of room to get out without hitting my poor defenseless chrome bumper

I don't listen to my exhaust but if my girlfriend is driving my truck I'll watch it drive away - cause 99.9% of the time I'm driving it and I don't get to see how cool it looks on the road

I usually do because I have left the lights on and run my battery down until it was dead twice. I don't want to repeat the experience.

I am guilty as well. My mom also gets pissed 'cause she has more pics of my truck than me. My bro and my friends think I am obsessed, maybe I am?
