... I only list the major cars I have... the actual list is just freaky. somewhere around 25 benzes alone... over 50 vehicles on site... and they all belong to me. none are for sale. well, I'm planning to sell one of them at the moment, but it's not why I have them. I'm certain I could lap you in personal vehicles, even if you choose the brand or type.

With that many cars I have no clue where you have enough time to slap your neck.

To the OP. All women hate it men have something more important than them in their lives, no matter how temporary it may be. They hate it even more when it is an inanimate object. They cannot scowl, berate, nag, up one it or even seduce it. The good women will realize this and let the boy go play with his toy. They may scowl, berate, nag or seduce their man away still but they will let him play. Personally I can't work out of the house anymore. My wife will come out an infuriating 2-3 times towards the end of a long day and ask me if its done yet. I love her, shes a good woman but GOD does that get under my skin.

Oh come on. I know I'm the girl crashing the boys' tree house here so I'm not trying to spoil the commiseration, but ALL women are not like that. I, as well as most of my female friends, would much prefer to date a man with his own life and interest. I wouldn't be able to tolerate a man who wanted nothing but to follow me around, wait on me hand and foot and obsess over everything I do all the time. I realize I'm in the minority as a woman with a car-repair interest, but most women have their own things, whether it's the stereotypical make-up and shoes or art or horses.

I try to interest the girls in one or more of my hobbies. Car maintenance is the last one on the list for me. Cooking, recipes and grocery marketing, housekeeping, happy hours, pets, home improvements, working out, travelling, come before the car deal with me.

Exactly ... most women would find something on that list to share with you. As long as you really click somewhere, I think most women are willing to let you have your time in the garage.
