My SO works Monday thru Saturday from 5 am until 2 pm, sometimes later.
Right when he gets homehe says his hello's to Evelynn kisses her and plays,then he immediately goes and works on his car until he goes to bed.
Most the time he doesn't even NEED the smurf. He is OBSESSED with his car, seriously. I just want to spend time with him, he goes to sleep at 9-10 pm everyday. Even Saturday nights because he is "so exhausted".
I just feel like I'm competing with his smurfing car! He left for 5 hours today so some guy to tune his turbo and smurf. Who the smurf needs a turbo? COME ON.
He wastes his money on it, it's like a damn hobby, always changing something.
I just wish he'd sell the damn thing, its a BITCH getting evelynn in it, and i don't feel it's safe.  
Sorry, just needed to vent. ugh.



and, i don't know if you can see it, but that IS penguin tape. -.-

Working on cars is fun. It's easy to lose track of time...

I'd just go out there and remind him how long he's been out there...

Not a big fan of his car though....it's the hot rods I'd be more understanding too....

I was expecting a more exciting car.

Not every night over your family it's not however.

tell him simply he needs to get his priorities straught

Yeah, me too with how much money he puts into it. LOL.
It's VERY fast though, engine swap, only 10k miles, good gas yada yada.
But, UGH.

My XH was the same with his car. It annoyed me only because how much money and time he spent on it. He loved that thing more than anything. Then he left me for another woman and totaled it on our anniversary. Karma   There's no talking sense into a man about his car, just try telling him you'd like more time together.

I do, and he's like....... i'm almost done, i'm almost done. then like 5 hours later is really "done"  

He's spending all his time and money, and THAT is the best he has? Yikes thats depressing :/

Ew, it's not even a pretty car  


Honestly, that wouldn't fly with me. My biggest turn off is a guy that's obsessed with his car. It's really odd to me, idk.

Well duh,lol.

Who said it was?

walk outside, grab his tools, walk back inside.

My SO is like that with his Honda. All of his brothers and friends have SI's and are always doing something to them. I don't mind once and awhile, but I get no breaks at all. If he wants to be fair about things, it'd be nice if he let me enjoy something I like alone as well.

Or you could go the petty route and hide them, or his keys. AFTER locking the car of course.

Omg, show him this thread. Everyone's talking about how lame his car is, maybe he'll stop
