I need to lay off the forums and cars.
So at work I have access to unlimited printing, and the internet. So I was searching yahoo or whatever and came across this awsome huge picture of an LS1 motor. So I printed an 8x10 of it, to put on my wall for my holy shrine to F-bodies.
I bring it home and lay it on the kitchen table, and as my dad is leaving to pick up my sister he goes... "why did you print this?" I said "Dad... its gods motor!" He replys "Get off those stupid forums and think about something else besides cars..."
I just walked away holding gods motor.

and honestly, i kinda have to agree with your dad a little. lay off cars a little, spend that time finding a girl who has some interest in cars, and then, once you find her, spend the time showing the girl how to work on cars, thereby strenghening your relationship, as well as actually working on your car.

tried that, and it not only failed, it backfired. IMO, unless teh girl is already into cars and has a car herself and loves cars as much as you do. dont do this.
