1963 Valiant V200 Wagon

thanks guys. my dad kinda snapped at me today about spending too much time with the car. basically my girls family is going to their vacation house and i said i was going to stay home to work on my car. he said **** the car it will be there next week. which is probably why he has 8 cars that have been in the same state of decay forever. he also told me i am gonig to drive everyone crazy with this car, including my girlfriend. and my girlfriends mom told her that i am ignoring her and spending too much time with the car, even though she keeps signing me up for carshows in july and keeps asking when it will be done. i dont see how me working on my car drives others crazy. unless asking my dad for help drives him crazy. so i talked to my girlfriend tonight to see how she feels, and told her i will go out of town this weekend if she wants me to. she said she doesnt mind me working on the car because its what i enjoy doing. part of me wants to go out of town. but her parents drive me crazy sometimes. and i know when i went up there this time last year it was more stressful than relaxing. so i dont know what to do. i know i spend alot of time with my car. its definitly an addiction, but i didnt know i was bugging everyone else with it. what gives. am i in the wrong?
