I think I might be more obsessed than you. My wife has threatened to leave me because of my Vanagon gawking, she'd probably subscribe to Playboy for me if she thought it would help. What ticks her off the most are the times I have followed some van for miles just to ask the owner a question or check some unique piece of equipment installed. There are "stalker" laws to protect the public from people like me.
