My dad's great, he doesn't really share the car thing with me but he's always supported me in pretty much whatever I do and that's the most a kid can ask.

On a side-note, what's with the mods/admins having cool colors and fonts to their names?? Or is it just really late and I'm imagining things?

Shit, I bought my own car when I turned 16, yet I rode the bus to school half the time during my junior/senior year LOL. It's their house, they can take it away if they damn well please.

Personally, I get along great with my dad. He's my best friend, and we're like carbon copies of each other. I'm 28, and I still live at home (long story). I won't move out until I get married or something. My mom died a little over 3 years ago, and I don't want to leave him alone, since we don't have much family nearby, and I'm an only child. And I know he wont get remarry or even get a gf.

sorry to hear about that. but ive never really thought of it that way.

Me and my dad get along great we both love working on the supra cept he really doesnt know much about cars but hes good with a wrench.

On the other hand my mom hates that I bought a project car and that takes up space in the garage and driveway.

Shes alwasys rubbing it in that I could have gotten a used bimmer for the money im putting into this car.

And to make things worse as im typing this she just tripped over my new turbo manifold in my room.

Meh other then supra problems with her were fine.

Strap her ass in, floor it for a half mile or so, then stop & look into her bewildered eyes & ask her if she thinks a BMW can match that rocket-like performance. I bet she'll stop the BS. :biglaugh:

thats the great thing about living with mom only. i can convince her i need sport brakes. pretty soon its gonna be time for a new engine.

as much as it sounds weird, i think living without my dad gave me a lot of firsthand experience in all sorts of stuff like masonry, plumbing, woodworking, mechanics and the like. mom didn't know i was playing with all the dangerous stuff, she just thought i was getting the job done. which i was, in a roundabout way...

My dad is great, he tought me and my brother's the value of a dollar, the value of hard work and the value of pride. Plus he used to build cars and managed an autoparts store at one time, he's like a walking, breathing TSRM...but for more than just Supras!

My mom on the other hand...we're like water and oil, I love her to death, but we just can't be around each other for more than 5 minutes. Although she usually does convince my dad to loan me a couple bucks here and there...

I have a "biological sperm donor", not a "father". He and my mother never married, and after the 1st 3 years of my life he stopped "supporting" me. My mother has married 3 times since then, all of them being douchebags. Then my mother turned on me when I was 18, taking a credit card out in my name and running my credit into the ground. She, of course, denied it. But I had evidence from the CC company that it -was- her. Then, when my husband cheated on me and kicked me out last year, I was staying with her and she had the nerve to flip out and kick me out of the house over a $7 phone bill. Shouldn't be surprising as she also kicked me out of a previous residence when I was 8 months pregnant (for sitting on her 86 Olds Regency crapmobile)... kicked us out with no money, nowhere to go at 11pm at night.

We haven't spoken in almost a year. I find it better this way, no more BS critism from a hypocrit and a theif. I finally had it with her crap and would rather consider myself an orphan than deal with her psychotic episodes.

DAMN if you need a shoulder to cry on or an arm to pumch to take your fustrations out im here for you via the internet.

If my mom ever did anything like that i would just do the samething back to her cept my credit card would have bought me lots of parts for the suppie.

dad is who i get along with best, mom however can be annoying.. shes a part time alcoholic.

But then again my dad doesnt like to help me with car related things much but when we get into talking about electronics, physics, or anything techincal we hit it off and have a good time. He's everything i could ask for in a dad, hes supportive, understanding, and caring. He doesn't give me what i want all the time and makes me work for what i want knowing its best for me.

My mom although is going through a troublesome time i still love her, we have our fights occasionally but she treats me like a true adult. Im aloud to have parties at my house, girls over in my room, aloud to drink cuss and all that stuff. Hell she even buys me booze when i want some as long as i dont drive. She has issues managing her money but outside of that shes everything i could ask for in a mom as well. Parents are divorced, dads remarried twice (last 1 successful) moms remarried once which failed. I live at home w/ my mom and some roommates.

Some say my mom has more of a party life than me.

You own Casino Gambling for Dummies? I thought it wasn't released yet...

I'll tell him. I actually haven't read either of those books yet myself, though I helped him with some of the tables in Play Blackjack like the Pros.
