Do you look back at your truck when you get out of it?

[H3LZSN1P3R]

I sometimes take a walk outside at work just so i can see the ol girl making the parking lot look better

Yeah, to make sure I locked it. But seriously, normally I can’t wait to get away from it.

 

[Hes83]

Everytime!

Look at mine all day while working!!

I do the same thing... park right outside my window and will look every time I walk into my office!

(Don't mind the dirty office window)

And yes, I always turn around and look as I walk away. My wife gives me a hard time every time I do it and then proceeds to comment about how cute her car is whenever she sees it.

Actually, I don't. That's because I avoid parking lots and such with my truck. Many a person, no manner what age and background, don't give a flip about the edge of their door taking your paint off your ride or re-sculpting your sheet metal below that paint (notice I used the word "Your"). I have even seen this happen at car shows, where the paint on numerous rides can cost as much as $10.000 or more and all it takes is one swing on an adjacent door to destroy that paint job. If and that's a big "If", I am forced to do a grocery run when we are on the road, then I look for a blocker car in the back forty. Most likely someone who takes pride in their ride (Corvette or Mustang owner). Here the owners initiate a little more care about their ride and yours. So, looking at my ride is mostly useless because of the blocker car. Why a blocker car you say? Well, as far as parking in the back forty, it doesn't work. Little known fact that immature little twits enjoy playing torpedo with shopping carts.

You might say, I am a little over-done <polite usage for anal - with this, but that's alright. I had a 2008 1500 till last April and I didn't have a single scratch or door ding on it. My paint! My sheet metal!

As far as looking back? Only when I know it's safely in my yard or my garage. Then I start seeing dollar signs on what to spend on it next!

True, unless one has some really good sources!

 

[Rockcrawlindude]

Yep

I park way in the back forty so I can take two spots and never get any "Walmart" dings. I also fold my mirrors in every time. When I get up towards the store I always look back to see how beautiful she is.

I constantly look at my truck every time I exit it! I absolutely agree with OP. To ensure you brought the right vehicle you always need to check

I have a DRW long bed and do the exact same thing. Park as far away from folks in the back of the lots....

I learned pretty quickly with my last truck the townies don’t give a damn about your shjt.

I laugh as well at those that try to park trucks up near the front of the stores, then get pissed off when somebody scrapes and scratches or dings their vehicle.

Just to make sure I hear it lock and see the lights flash. I like it but it's just a truck...

I not only look at mine, I look at pretty much every other truck I walk by!

I will admit to that. But usually only a passing glance at Fords or Chevys. And time to laugh at the Bro trucks when I see them....
