Sabotage the engagement and confess your feelings. If that fails, kill her and steal her skin.
No

I actually tried that a couple years prior, but failed. I was close though, but I had to move for school. (I suck as a friend)
All I had was a /biz/ dad. He taught me simple things like spark plugs and oil chaning but thats it.
I had no dad
My dad was a homosexual who bought one of those early 2000s Accords with the completely gutless v6. He proceeded to treat it like a bazillion dollar exotic import and put a 9/11 NEVAR FORGET sticker on it.

Why not purchase it with the intent to LS swap it? Seems like that would please your family to no end and you have the support to might actually be able to pull it off.
My dad owned a 64 chevy Impala ss hardtop that was white with blue interior. He's been into bikes after that and has owned 4 diff Harley's since he sold it back in 2001. Feels bad man, some day id like to buy one. Honestly would like to track down the one he use to have.

BEEG AMERICAN TTS NICO
My dad was /o/ before I was born, but not so much now. He owned a hilux with a 22r forever, gave it to my older brother he blew it up. He had cool muscle cars growing up(he's 65), used to race quads and do tons of blow on the beaches of florida and mexico and cali.
Now he just plays golf and engineers self driving cars/hybrid tech. It's my job to be an /o/ dad, my son is 8 months old. How can I be the best /o/ dad ever? He's getting a 50cc bike when he's 5. That is the only current plan.
>>14782037
They still wouldn't support it. It's not that don't like American cars. I worked at a car wash for several years and found out I preferred many of them after driving so many. I just want one that is rwd and can turn.
Of course the TT is her car.
>>14782062
I kek'd
My dad was pretty /o/. Never went to a mechanic and always had me get wrenches for him or hold a flashlight.
He had a Ford Taurus SHO back in the day, followed by a Buick Park Avenue Ultra and now drives an S600 Mercedes

>>14782113
Get hum one of those pro race karts and teach him the art of track racing
my dad drove cadillacs since the early 80s. and still drives one today.
I grew up on luxury cloud rides, eldoratos and seville STS

You didn't have to do anything, friend. Now maybe you made a judgement call; you thought things through and decided she wasn't worth skipping the degree. That said, you could have gone to a local college. You could have chosen a major that a more local school could handle. You could have asked her to come with you. You didn't. You made a choice. As long as you understand that, great. Most people don't.
Just something to keep in mind, friend.

>>14781286
Had a /g/ dad and all his friends were into auto, so he didn't see a point in trying, or learning....or teaching me for that matter.
I've been "modding" my truck recently and he sees no point in it, but when it comes to getting a 2k computer, he's all over that. Sometimes he confuses me.

I considered the choice of school to be much more valuable than a potential romantic relationship.
Does that satisfy your autism?

I live in a pretty rich oil city. It's not uncommon to see high school girls driving brand new 600hp Corvettes, Camaros and lifted 3500's. Pretty scary.

It's tough, especially since I want to, but he says he's told to do it and the cars now are too complicated and cramped.

Now he only runs his garage and won't teach me much about rallying

I had an /o/ dad, and it's because of him that I love cars today. He was murdered about 3 years ago, and what hurts the most is that I will never again be able to take him for a ride in the latest car I bought.

>tfw dad died young
>tfw know nothing about cars
tfw my dad taught me how to drive manual at the age of 7 but im a lazy piece of shit who gave up at life and i still havent even got a license at 21
i cant even remember what it feels like to perfectly match a downshift before swinging the car around with the ebrake in the snow anymore

BITCH has a fucking full set of tools, a garage that I -know- can fit a car in it for storage, a driveway which can indeed fucking work for a shop, and I will personally roll under the car on cardboard fucking mats every god damn time just to get the thing running.
But no. My dad is a bitch.
>>14790559
You're gonna feel like a huge dick head when your dad surprises you with the GTO he's been restoring in secret for 10 years
>>14790559
nice blog post
>>14790559
don't be a big fag man that's his driveway and his garage, my fag brother has left his shitty MR2 restore in my mom's garage for like a year and a half straight now and it's driving us nuts.
I'm going to be renting that house from my mom while she's gone for a few years and I'll have that hunk of garbage in my way every goddamn day and it's an awful thought in itself.
Have some empathy, get your own garage.
>>14790969
Except my fag brother is actually a really cool guy and helps me work on my cars and repairs them and shit when I don't have the time or money since he's got an /o/ job and can buy parts cheap...

I fucking wish.
>>14790969
I'm concerned about that as well. I'm making arrangements to find a place to store my own project. I can buy a running vehicle and work on it, or I can buy something that only needs a few things to get it running. I'm leaving open the idea of both a project bike and car. I like both. I really don't want to fuck my family over by leaving a junker to rot for years before I finally get rid of it for scrap.

What the fuck. I'd kill myself if any harm came to my dad.
In 2016 engaged just means going steady anyway.
>>14791170
Your dad probably wouldn't want you to kill yourself if something bad happened to him. If he's anything like my dad, he'd want you to be the best person you can be. With or without him in the picture.

it really fucked me up, started drinking heavily and stopped really giving a fuck. I assessed favorably and was selected for a tier 1 military unit, and was supposed to go to follow on training, but I opted out because I was drunk all the time and quit working out. I'm just now getting out of the mire.
>>14791267
You're gonna make your dad proud anon.
>>14791310
I hope so.
I'm visiting home right now, and I went by the car lot he worked at for awhile when I was young. they specialized in enthusiast cars, so I was exposed to a lot of niche cars when I went to work with him during summer or the weekends. the owner wasn't there, but there was a guy that I recognized, and I asked if he knew my dad. He said "of course, you look just like him", and we talked for a bit about my dad. Gonna go back tomorrow since the owner wasn't around and shoot the shit some more.
I teared up driving home.
