OK guys fess up! How many of you know every single store, building, business, or whatever between home and work that has that nice reflective window that you look over at everyday so you can see your Vette reflection as you drive by? I took this one today but its only one of several I pass by that always makes me look..... Please say you do this too so my wife doesn't make me start seeing a therapist...ha!

Guilty as charged! I actually even do it to see if my headlights/Tailights are on as well.

Polished/reflective tankers make 440 traffic somewhat bearable

There is a store front in a local strip mall with black sun tint that produce a nice reflection. Guilty as charged!

BTW, I also parked across from the store front one night and did my final adjustments to my ACA HIDs!

I've never done that... but as soon as I find a glass window like that I will definitely be doing so!

Yep guilty here. Been doing so for years! Even before I had my vette, did it with every car I've ever owned!

Hell, If I had a wife that wouldn't stop me.
I traded her in on the Vette.

The old Sears store downtown had a window front like that. I looked.

I also found out that when I had open headers those windows would shake when I went by.
