You Should Know These Things When Dating A Car Guy
A woman who dated a car guy will tell you how intricate it is. It's completely different from having a relationship with a man who doesn't spend loads of money on vehicles. If you don't have that history, we've prepped you with some tips that will benefit you.
We're not implying it will be a bad experience, we just want to give you a scouting report.
He Will Spend A Ton Of Cash
He'll likely save more money than you've ever seen, but it isn't to surprise you with a romantic getaway (maybe it is). That money will go towards any of his car projects.
He May Not Like Hanging Around Your Non-Car People Friends
Okay, that might sound outrageous, but hear us out for a second. It isn't anything to take personally, but your car guy might just want to hang around like-minded individuals.
Buying A Car With Him Might Get Complicated
Just because he's a car man doesn't mean buying a car with him will be a piece of cake. It won't be a quick process because he wants to make sure you get the most quality for your bucks. His extensive vehicle knowledge will show tremendously.
You Will More Than Likely Help With Projects
Working on a car is something he will do all year. Since he's well-versed in the field, he'll feel confident enough to give you directions on how to help him make his modifications.
He Will Buy Loads Of Towels
There is no limit to how many towels a car guy can have. The specific kind he'll buy tons of are the ones with microfiber material, which are great for cleaning cars.
Cleaning His Car Is A Special Routine
When it comes to cleaning his car, it can take several hours. Also, it can be a thing he does more than a few times a week. That is his baby.
No Food In The Car
What you see in this photo is the exact opposite of what you'll get while dating a car guy. There will be no munching of any kind in his precious automobile.
The Sporting Events He Likes Will Also Be Car-Related
What else did you expect? If you were with a chef, then he would probably like watching the food channel. You can expect more NASCAR than you ever asked for in your life, but you don't have to act like you're invested.
He Will Have Many Like-Minded Friends
Once you start meeting his friends, you'll see that he has a bunch of friends just like him. If you thought his knowledge of cars was high, well, meet his pals!
Car Event Coverage Might Change His Schedule
The only way this might be a problem for you is if you two had something planned. If he's into Formula One, you can expect him to have some time in front of the screen more than usual on the weekends.
Any Extra Space Is For Spare Parts
Any extra space he has around his living situation is for his spare parts. With all the projects he does, it's smart to keep extra parts or used parts in case he needs them for the future.
He'll Park In A Safe Spot, Even If It's Far
If you spent as much money and time on something as he does on his car, you'd also make sure it wouldn't get ruined. He'll park his car farther away from the entrance if that means keeping it safe.
You Shouldn't Slam His Car Door
Slamming his car door wouldn't be a great idea. Even if you don't think you ordinarily slam doors, you should take extra care with his so you don't have an accident.
Bonus Points If You Can Drive Stick
If you have any level of appreciation for cars, that's amazing. That can include knowing how to drive stick. He'll respect that you took the time to learn it, even if you had to do it.
Prepare To Spend Some Nights Watching Car Videos
This was something he did before dating you, and it isn't something he's going to stop now. There are many sub-genres of car videos, so he'll never run out of material to watch.
He'll Have More Pictures With His Car
You shouldn't take this personally at all. You'll get your fair share of photos with him, but the majority will be of him and his babies. Chances are, he'll have more than one vehicle, depending on how long he's been invested in this lifestyle.
Expect Weekends At Car Events
More often than not, you'll attend weekend car events with your car man. Even if you decide not to go one weekend, you can bet your bottom dollar he still will.
You Will Soon Realize His Immense Car Knowledge
One day, you might think that he knows more than any car database. He's worked with cars for so long that it's now second nature to him, and he can tell you how long it will take to fix your car issue in seconds.
Time To Learn New Jargon
If you ever wanted to learn about cars, then now is the time. You will probably hear terms like cabin air filter, spark plugs, and automatic transmission fluid. Ask questions if you wish to absorb the knowledge.
His Car Is His Baby
Above everything else, his car is his baby. You can become someone he cherishes too, but you might be second fiddle in his life for a good amount of time.
