Are you obsessed with your car?

How many of you with sexy TL's always catch your self looking at a nice clean BLACK/DARK colord car or preferably a SUV? Or even better, a really shinny building.

Now if your TRULY obsessed with your car. You'd understand what im saying

I also REALLY love when i see a truck or a SUV with a NICE SHINNY chrome bumper. It give that Fish eyed reflection, ya feel me?


TEEHEEEEEEHEHEHEHHEHE

Yup, I do the same stuff. My friends all think I'm nuts. I always look back at it when I park (far away from anything). When I was out of town and needed to be picked up from the airport my roommate was telling a friend that his AC wasn't working. The friend asked him why he didn't just use my TL and my roommate said "no I'd be too scared something would happen to it". I guess I am obsessed...

i get the same thing while i am at work. I even have pics of my car in my office. I used to think that i was just anal about everything. But i finally realized that i am obsessed. everytime i get out of my car, i have to give it at least a once over. Then i will go to my trunk grab the spray detailer and a microfiber cloth and clean off the dirt.

When I go to any restaurant where I can pick my seat I sit where I can see my car.

And agreed. I always turn around and look at my car 2-3 times when walking away

Wink Yup......TL addict for sure!

Yup....OCD about all my toys but I stare at the TL whenever I get a chance. Have sat in the garage and just stared at it many times, never park anywhere close to shit-box driving door dingers(usually means a long walk) and always look at it's reflection wherever possible. I guess that would be considered obsessive behavior....but what do "they" know

Ditto to everything written above. I just don't know how to do multiple quotes. I'm not sure "addiction" is a strong enough word though. Maybe we should come up with a phrase to accurately depict our feelings for this car.

I'm looking at what I've typed and the word "accurately" has the word "Acura" in it. We should incorporate "accurately" into this phrase. Hell, I should be on the Acura marketing team !!!

I love to pull up to a building that will refelct the car. The post office in town has tinted windows and reflects the car very well. When I taught, after a bad class with some little darlings I would walk down the hall at the end of class and look out into the parking lot and just look at the car. After 4 years still loving it. I think this generation looks so right.

LOL, im glad this thread came out pretty good.

I think we should do what "Steven Bell" said. Lets make up a work for how much we love our cars.

Any suggestions?

i intentionally drive slow to admire the reflection, especially when im passing stores with glass fronts.

after all, i want to admire the hard work i put into making the car look like this:

I have a NBP. Let me tell you, if you get this color and you're not obsessed then there is something wrong. If I let my car go for a couple days without washing, the pollen and dust will build up and then... gotta wash it again. So we're talking washing the car about 3 times a week. Nothing is sexier than a clean black car. As far as the reflections, I'm kinda the opposite. I like to look in the sideview mirrors at my cars reflection against the backdrop. The reflections on a black car at night in the city is something to stare at and have almost left me tl-less. NBP ftw!

*edit* nothing sexier except a fine woman in a black dress.
