    Ok I posted this on the "why is cruisin dead thread". But I'll start a new one just so the original dosen't get jacked.
    Ok call me retarded if you want and I now know I'm not the only one that does this. I call it "window cruisin" and to me it never gets old even though the wife laughs at me when I do. Ok I'll explain what it is. You find a good block of shop windows and cruise by nice n slow. You get to see your car in motion, looks too cool especially at night. Who else does this? Anyone have picks or video?

    You need to put "picture thread" in the title somewhere.

    To do justice to what your asking.

    And while your at it ditch the "Custom" tag in the title also, any car can window cruise.

    I do it all the time.....
    Even better is having someone else drive yer car, so you can see how it looks going down the road from a "bystanders" point of view....:D

    There was a thread recently on the same subject. It was amazing how many guys do it. Thought I was the only one.

    WTF that is too funny my daughter told me about doing this when she was like 9 years old. I do it all the time and every time I do I think of her sitting beside me cruzin with her dad. It has been quite a few years since we have cruzied together but the memories live on each time.

    Too cool! When i do any visual changes to my binder the first thing i do is go window cruising. I like to see it in motion. I will take the camera next time.

    Maybe that's the reason I got rear-ended when stopped at a traffic light. I thought it was just another idiot driving while on a cell phone... :mad:

    That's why you drive down though the middle of town isn't it???? Always a big part of cruising for me.
