Am I the only one who does this?

Am I the only one who does this?
Been snowy and rainy for a while. The beast has been in the garage for a while too. Finally get a chance for a good wash. Take it for a spin then to the grocery store. As I exit the vehicle I take a few steps and check for others in the parking lot. Another few steps, no one else around, neck turned 90 degrees. 10-15 steps away and make the FULL TURN. Gazing, longingly as if departing my girlfriend like an army man off to war. THEN reality. Back to the walk ahead hoping there was no one else around watching me thinking, "what a jack ***."

Speaking of doing weird things... (Pardon the thread jack)
I have a ritual called 'terminator'. I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy. LOL..

I do that all the time.
Andddd, another thing I do, is rev the engine at least three times before turning the engine off and before going into drive. I am certain everyone around me thinks I am a retarded or an a'hole or both. The silly grin doesn't help my cause.

I call that "lookback factor" and it is a HUGE consideration in EVERY automotive 'investment' I have ever made. Your car has gotta' make you wanna' turn around and 'lookback' at it when you head inside!

If I park in a public parking lot for a little while and come back, I do a walk around of the car to look for any damages. Anyone else do this?
