What does it mean when.....

[terriphill]

Your 21-year-old son who has always loved his cars more than girls, introduces you to his new girlfriend over Christmas break AND even quits working on his car and took a shower when she "dropped by".
The new bumper he was installing is still laying on the garage floor, the primer he got for Christmas is still in the box AND he's going SHOPPING tomorrow instead of working in the garage!
Should I be concerned?

 

[Steve_S]

No, you should be relieved.

I agree with Steve, even though the girl will cost him a lot more money in the long run than that car ever would! OOPs, me and my big mouth, there I go again.

 

[bgbassplyr]

No worries, Terri. He'll be back to working on the car as soon as the new wears off.

 

[tony barnhill]

New stuff!!! WHEEE......

& she's making him work for it!

 

[terriphill]

No, you should be relieved.

That's exactly what his Uncle said!!!! LOL
I should add that I find her adorable and very interesting. She even bought him "Bullitt" for Christmas because her dad told her it had a great chase scene in it (and she watched it with us!!)Maybe we'll make her a car nut too!!

I hope that what attracted her to him was his British Car!
Have them go on a car rally - if they can survive that,they'll
have no problems.

Oh yeah, if he's showering & changing from his garage clothes into spiffy clothes & hanging out with a girl who doesn't know or like anything about cars....she's high maintenance & thinks she can change him....that from the father of a daughter!

[tony barnhill]

But, Stuart, will he succeed or is she just playing?

 

[ecurie_ecosse]

Ah! now there you've got me!! That is now in the lap of the gods,mon ami.

Stuart.

 

[tony barnhill]

Yep....they both have different missions & hopes for the relationship....

Thought for the day...Women are difficult, they want everything from one man, men on the other hand are easy, they only want one thing from all women!!

Test her right away - see if she will hand your son wrenches etc. when he is working on a car!

My wife would soon want to know why I didn't plan ahead and take what I will need with me to begin with.
