I have been known to be obsessive about inanimate objects (to old for animate ones!). I usually have in my minds eye what my car, boat, motorcycle, etc should be. I tend to be O/C (that's obsessive/compulisve for the slower guys out there) until I reach that point. But then I sit back and enjoy what ever it is I have elevated to perfection.
I'm doing that with a motorcycle right now but I am almost there - and broke! Funny how they coincide
