Haha, people say ricer, but who cares, that's just cuz parking in Asia is fucking nuts and it's so much easier getting out of the space when you park backwards.

I always park in the same spot at work, so I can see it. My boss actually switched offices with me so I can see my car from my office. lol. But yeah, I walk backwards. People always stare at me.

when i had bling blang rims and washed the car once a week i used to always look at my car as i walked away...and stare at it if i was eating somewhere

now i park and check to make sure nobody's gonna hit my car...then i just walk away lol...if it's within vision i make sure no fucker tries breaking into it...but that's all...

now when i get out of my brother's car...i always look back and think...damn that's one sexy ass beast...and nobody expects to see what's under the hood...

Yes, I can't help looking at the Mistress as I'm walking away. As for parking backward, it really depends on where I am. Regular lots, no, but long ass driveways like the one at my mother's place or an alcove, I definately back in because it is easier to get out.

We took a trip down to Turner Falls on Sunday for a family reunion. My wife kept noticing how people in relatively hot cars would break kneck to look at the Mistress. And well they should, I just washed her before we left. I love that shit...

She is so fucking HOT! And people notice her all the time, especially after a fresh wash and wax.

yeah...

I park in the same spot to, all the way on the end in the back, so only one car can park next to me. I then look at my car's ass periodically during the day, cuz it faces my office window on the 7th floor. I park with the ass facing the building, cuz it faces out of the sun.

im so damn guilty of this. plus right behind my work there is a big hill that i park on top of so everybody going into and out of the mall can see it. it makes me feel tall and special.

As with this thread, I always check the CL after parkin. Again, good to know I aint the only obsessed Acura owner. It's nice to see how it looks at a distance, different angles of light, and just cause it's so sexy. And when I walk up to it I'm glad knowin that it's mine as if I just picked it up.

I have the full viper alarm system. Im looking to upgrade to the new clifford matrix though

you start it up with the remote, get in, stick the key in, turn it to III and step on the brakes.

if you didnt put the key in, the engine would auto shut off in 12 min, if you hit the brakes, or revved over a certain RPM for security reasons.
