girlfriend thinks im obsessive
am i obsessive about working on my car if after working all day i want to go and finish more work on my car ,even if its dark and cold outside?.is it obsessive to be constantly checking forum and reading more material about repair,looking at cl for cars,ordering parts and talking about mechanical matters?.i mean im not on a porn site,though sometimes the way members speak about their cars does have some similarity to admiring a women.this is a good healthy hobby,look at all the money im saving by not having a regular mechanic do the work on my old car .so what if i want to resurrect another diesel,arent i helping recyle precious materials?come on having hobbies is health -isnt it?

... 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.

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.

 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.

buy her a benz - like a nice coupe or something - and your gf will think differently of your obsession.

In agreement w/ our resident psychotherapist cjlipps. Obsession is defined as being unhealthy and/or irrational and/or compulsive which all of us know our fixation of choice is not! or is it? FNHB

The worst things I have ever uttered in my life have been towards cars that ticked me off.
