The NERVE of some people!

[Ms. FastNasty]

This person imparticular, just happens to be my father in law. He's one of those cocky, arrogant, know it all types. Works hard for a living...has (what would be a nice) 70 Chevelle...that's been parked since my hubby was born (24 years). I've never had a confrontation with the man, ever. Tonight, I was literally in tears over the stuff he said about me, and my car. I don't have many childhood memories with my dad, but the Buick is one of the ones I do have, and love. He gave me the car, and I wanted to fix it up really nice...didn't matter what it cost me. I found Lee Thompson...great guy, and knows the car...and I know he's building me something dad will be proud of. I got told tonight my car will blow up first time down the track. It'll be slower than my hubby's car which currently runs 15's. Then got told to shove the car up my a$$. Keep in mind, I've NEVER said a cross word to him, never been negative toward him...NOTHING. I'm always respectful of everyone I meet, and am always happy for the joys that others have in their life. He apparently, can't stand the fact I'm financially able to do what I am with this car. Now more than ever, I want this car running, and running good. Cause I'm going to take it to the track and hand him his big fat a$$!!!! I'll show him exactly what these cars can do...as I'm leaving black marks down his driveway. Sorry to vent. Kind of an emotional evening for me...:frown: The upside...I'm taking the car to Lee Saturday for the engine install...although, I've just gotten into a huge argument with the person who was supposed to tow it there...ah well, I'll get it there one way or another! Thanks for listening to me babble....:redface:

Actions speek louder than words. Show him what the Buick will do then kill him with kindness. His kind hate that and it will eat him alive....

 

[V8Assassin]

Wow! Sorry to hear about your troubles. Try not to sweat it, it's all worth it the first time the tires come off the ground!!

 

[fastlikeanascar]

Sound like he just took out his bad day on you.. Don't worry about it, My father is somewhat rude to my wife, I ended up having to let him know How I felt about his rude comments . hopefully your husband did the same.

 

[TexasT]

I can't say I know how you feel, but don't take it personally that this person has no kooth. People like him give others a bad name.

Let your car speak for you when the time comes.

 

[corsair231]

You are welcome to cry on our shoulders anytime. I want you to do two things for me. First remember that you married his son, not him and second, remind your husband of this fact and your husband should take care of the rest. Jealousy and envy are truly a *#^@% and it sounds like that is his real problem.

 

[Pronto]

Sounds like a drunk yahoo. Ignore that s.o.b. and build you car the way you want. He'll be jealous of how fast it is for sure. I just hope your hubby is NOT a chip off the old block....

 

[RobsIron]

Crying? Shoulda been smiling.

Never let another person make you feel that way..no matter who they are. Especially when they don't know what the F they're talking about.

MrsFastNasty MY dad said some bad things to my wife after we had been married 10 years [still married to her] and it was very hard for her to hear what he said to her. After about a month went by he told me to tell her he was sorry for what he said and I told him to tell her himself and he did. I have never heard him tell anyone in my life time he was sorry for anything and told my wife she should forgive him. She did and now he thinks she hung the moon!!! Dont give up on him, he will come around when he realizes what he did.

 

[88ZNX]

He is just jealous because he knows his 70 Chevelle will ALWAYS see the tail lights of your Buick!! And you couldnt have met a better person to build your car for you. Leeo is top notch and they dont come any better than him. He helped me with my tranny a year ago. Words can be harsh and hurtfull, but dont let it get to you. He'll get his in the end.

 

[Ms. FastNasty]

Thanks for all the support guys, I really appreciate it. Guess it was just the little girl coming out in me when he said what he did. Thankfully, Kyle (the hubby) isn't anything like his dad when it comes to the way he speaks to me. I know I'll shut him up soon enough. Leeo is fabulous...great guy, did my tranny and engine...even took the extra time to explain things to me in my own language...just love him to pieces!!! :biggrin: I'll make sure to get video of his facial expression when my car posts mid 10's.

agree, remind your husband your his wife, his father should be showing you alot more RESPECT!! was your husband there when the rudeness was going on? if so he should have stuck-up for you, if he was'nt around inform him how rude his dad was ( i'm sure a little son to father chat will clear things up.
and as one of us already said, we're all here to help each other out any way we can. now keep doing what you wanted to do with the GN

 

[imjoesnuffy]

Sounds like a first rate @$$hole to me. Hopefully your husband has the testicular fortitude to stand up for you. Make sure to get a pic of this clowns face when he sees your time slip, his jealousy and envy will probably eat him up inside.

Lee is a great guy who really knows these cars. His work is first rate:smile:

 

[jpwahler]

I can't wait to hear the story when you show him what that car will do. By the way, do you have a sister?!?

lmao yeah no kiddin!!

 

[Alky V6]

I belong to a small drag racer's car club where I'm the only Buick V6. Most of the big talkers are the Ford guys. Why is that all the time? When the rubbing comes around to me, I just smile at them. There's only a couple that I can't blow away and make cry, and they all know it from personal experience. :tongue:
Let those kind of people have their small victory. Be polite and smile. When the time comes to set them straight at the track, be a good sport about it. You'll get the utmost respect that way.

You dogs.

 

[turboc87gn]

Can you guy say JEALOUS hes just mad cause his car has been a workbemch for 24 years and you are a girl with a gn and you and you car are raining awesomeness on his parade cant wait to see his dumbfounded when you show him ur timeslip...

 

[klrv6]

Kill him with kindness or at least ruin his day with laxative brownies.

I have two mother in-laws (my wife is adopted) and want to rent a wood chipper for both of them. One will have a nice yard after the debris is cleaned up...the other

I love my wife's biological mother, she truly appreciates every single minute she gets to spend with my wife. Now, the adopted mother treats my wife like crap so, I have zero respect for her. Be patient, maybe your husband has been dealt his share of crap already. Put some money on a race and buy yourself some new wheels or something with the cash.

 

[O SO LO]

Sad to say I actually get along better with my mother-in-law than my father-in-law! As I've told him...
Everyone brings joy, some in arriving, and others in leaving!!

 

[KevinB]

I wouldn't be too worried. If you listen to and do what Lee tells you to do with the car...it will blow away any junk your father in law can put together. You are in great hands with Lee
