It'* been two and a half years and I still do that myself with my Bonne.(morre so now that I have the clear corners)
I tend to look back at my Jeep when I'm walking away from my parking spot , especially during winter months when I park it on top of the tallest snow bank I can find everytime we go to the storm.

I smile when I see my Bonnie. I smile when I see my trucks. I'll smile even more when I can see all three of them together. (I mean all running, not all parked in the tool shed as junk lol)

my boat of a car brings a smile to my face every time it does something new/quirky/unexpected, does that count?

Yes,I still look back every morning when I get to work and see that sexy a$$ sitting there waiting for me to get off work and ride!!

ditto even though it is kinda out of wack at the moment

but fear not parts will be on the way soon

I sit in my boring light blue cloth bench seats and all I think about is how the SSEi had the lumbar air bags and how I would play with the control to make it hurt my stomach
