I look at my truck when I'm running on the treadmill at lunchtime. I can only see it from one treadmill, so I get ticked when someone's on MY tread'! Otherwise, I have a glorious view of it parked at an angle. I feel so stupid, but it's like I can't stop looking at it???

Turn back 4 or 5 times after I park and take a look. One day I'm gonna run into a pole and look real dumb (or into a hot girl and still look dumb but be rather happy!)

yeah i do that, and in school I have two classes with windows overlooking the parking lot, and my car is 2nd from the end of the row, and the guy on the end always skips so I ALWAYS stare at it. That's usually when I decide on what mod to do next. I'm so close to lifting it, it would look so much better. But then I'd have to drive around with 265/75's for a while til they wore out

Ahh, This is too funny. Thought I was the only one that does all of that. Driving by windows, eating in resterants in view of truck, following it while Gf drives it(rarely),parking in a lot so you can look at it as you walk away, and when you come out of the store. I feel normal now after all your posts

Of course! There are times where I walk backwards for a while staring at it. I like catching it at the right angle that make my front tint look like it matches the rear because its only 35% due to laws and stuff. Makes it look like 5% all around . Also, I have to check all around whenever I have to park parallel and another car parks too close to check if they left new dings.

I wouldn't of had the cajones(sp) to start this string but I am guilty as all get out. My wife has even caught me on occasion. She looks too ( I think to be nice), I'm so lucky she understands.

I remember one day when I had my old minivan I was eating in Taco Bell staring at the van totally upset. Then I started thinking...ONE day there will be a nice 4runner parked in that exact same spot and it will be all mine. The first day I finally got the 4runner, I drove to Taco Bell and parked in that exact same spot, and went inside and sat in the exact same seat and stared at my new car. One of the happiest days of my life!!

They're doing a lot of construction here on campus. They're building a 5 story parking deck across the street from where I study/work. THey have a camera mounted on a light pole that you can watch construction with online, and move it around and zoom in and out. (It's pretty cool!) I always spin it around and point it at my rig in the lot outside so I can watch it on the camera (in real time) and watch for any vandals or anyone parking too close so I can run out and give them the
