Is it ok to Gawk?

Ok, I've had my Z for two days now, I've cleaned the outside of it after picking it up from the local dealer. I've put a coat of Mcguire's Cleaner wax on it so far just to get the spots off
and clean the remnants of the sticky tape, and bugs off, etc.

The car absolutely shines and I haven't hit it with Zano, or a high grade wax yet, will do this weekend though!

I HIGHLY RECOMEND MICRO-FIBER towles, they are AWESOME for cleaning any car, but a must for Black or other dark colors!!!!

I have the car at my office, so I'm not getting much work done! I keep making a special trip to just go stare at it.

It's simply amazing! I'll post more pics later now that it is pretty clean

anyone else have this gawking problem?

Man I know if I had a new black Z I'ed stare at it all day. I know it looks great. You are a lucky guy.

My car is five years old and when I first take the cover off before I drive it I stand back and just look. What a nice car.

Congrats on the car. I love the way these cars look in black.

Nice one, Princess.....

Is it ok to gawk? I feel gipped. I thought this thread was about hot, sexy, scantilly clad women.....

Oh well.....I'll chip in anyway.....Yes, I think it is normal to admire the beauty of any good looking vehicle. I bet you even look back after you walk off and set the alarm.....Just to see your car once again.....I do. Not sure if I have been caught touching myself just yet, but I'll keep that in mind next time I set the alarm.

You know you have a great looking car when you get out of it at the store and have to look back at it every time. I did the same with my Ferrari and I can't wait until I get my new Z so I can do the same. Congrats. Does anyone else look out in their garage occaisionally and just stare.

I thought the car shouldn't be waxed for 90 day?

Gawking is what it's all about! I sit in front of a window at work and get to stare at my car right outside. When I get my Z, I'll be fixated on the window.

Is there such a thing as a heads-up display for my PC screen on the window so I can gawk and work at the same time?

Haha, I gawk all the time. My Z sits in the garage and I usually post from my laptop in my garage. I pull the cover off just to gawk...LOL. It's an unconditional love

I love the microfiber towels too. You can even feel how soft they rub on the car when waxing, polishing, etc.

LOL -- I have never had so many compliments in such as short period.... Everytime I went to a Chevy Dealer, the whole staff came out for a look!
