So. My boyfriend Cason spends almost all of his free time here on this site..:rant: It's really annoying when he spends more time talking to all of you people about his car than he does to me about pretty much anything else in his life. :Comp: <--him. <--me But either way, I'm sure he'll find this hilarious. --Mad. T.T
Hey Emily. Maybe you two can try to do things together more often. *Putting on my **** eating grin*:laugh: Like go to a car show together. Maybe try to find a Buick that you like, then you can ask Cason to find one for you. Maybe, change the oil together. Rotate the tires perhaps? maybe help work some of that vinyl conditioner on the dash pad of his Buick to keep it from cracking from the sunlight. Maybe go down to the local 1/4 or 1/8th mile together some weekend or during test and tune. :3gears: I'm sure you can find a couple other ideas from the rest of us for You and Cason to spend quality time together. :laugh: -nate:bglasses: EDIT: oh yea!! and welcome to the board. Erik where did you put that welcome banner.....
Like I told my wife, I've liked cars longer then women. No one looks at an old women and says "man I want one of those" she finally gave up.
I have a friend and his girl friend used to get mad at him for working on his old car and coming home smelling of gas/oil, etc. He took it for awhile and finally told her I could come home smelling of beer and other women but I don't. She got the point and took him for what he was, a guy who liked old cars and only (other than the old car) had time for her. Get used to it or find a guy with no imagination.
my father and godfather have a joke about me, saying (this is since i was about 17) So, there's an awsome convertable caddi driving by, with five smoking hot topless chicks in it, and then Brendan (me) dropps his jaw and says "DID YOU SEE THAT CAR?"
My wife and I stopped in at a local cruise in, I parked, and set up our chairs I got out the spray detailer and began to wipe the dust off my car, my buddy said to my wife "don't you wish he would rub on you like that" My response was "If she had a body like this I would". In spite what people say Honesty is NOT always the best policy.
lol thanks for the welcome and the um,... advice? :bglasses: and hey, I've had to change a few tires before with him! except then some older men asked to borrow me. very awkward!
Mad Girlfriend you're not keeping a diary, are you? It's really annoying when he spends more time talking to all of you people about his car than he does to me about pretty much anything else in his life. you think this is bad, wait til he gets into an argument with one of the TA reps or a "just swap in a big block" guys. :TU:
why do I have the feeling we are not helping Carson out any..... and yeah, why hasn't he gone Big Block yet.....
Cason step away from the keyboard, pay attention to your girl unless you like being alone. We ,here at v8 buick arent going anywhere so come back to us when she isn't feeling so neglected.Oh yeah Emily at least he isnt spending time in bars and with loose women so making out with his keyboard isn't so bad .:gp: :grin:
As a guy that's been married 20 years I can tell you this. My wife now goes hunting for her own deer, drives hundreds of miles only to see that yet another car is too rusty to mess with, or drives for hours to go with me to pick up a part (used), goes to car shows and the races, waits while I talk for an extended period of time to a new car friend, and on and on. I also put up with horses among other things. I know that you don't think that there is anything to put up with that you do, but there is. Learn to share what you do. If he loves something that much, it's time to learn to love it too or you are in for a rough road. He's not out drinking or gambling so it's not so bad. On the flip side, I try to get on the computer after the kid's in bed and the wife is ready to fall asleep on the couch. It's a two way street.
This reminds me of this email>>>>>>>>>>>>> HER DIARY > > Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to > meet at a bar to have a drink.

Emily, learn to share interests or find another man who is interested in shoes.... and hand creams. I told my wife when we got married to "take a good look around at what you see. I can drop thousands in one sitting on a motor. I am a white collar redneck, and if you think this car thing is a phase that I will grow out of and you dont like it then dont marry me". She got it when I sold my race car to buy her wedding ring. Honesty like that has kept our marriage solid, and it has kept arguments over money non-existent. Of course, its a flip of the coin on her too. She gets to go shopping once a month..... for an hour..... with $50 in her pocket.... of which she is instructed to bring me lunch...... in a french maids outfit. :Brow: Hhonestly, I have a good wife who doesn't share my interest in cars, but understands it is important to me, and a stress reliever. Its a balance of her time, kid time, and car time. Honestly if it bothers you, confront him, if you cant deal, move on. Jon
