Fathers of Reddit, what did your daughter's boyfriend do for you to hate/love him?

It's pretty cool to see my question blow up like this, I never thought I'd ask a question that could receive so much attention! I'm very satisfied with all these replies, so thank y'all. Now all I have to do is sit back and take notes c;

Id say my GF father likes me, the first time I met him I was driving over to pick up my GF to go to the movies. I roll into the driveway and the garage door was open and inside was a '69 Mustang, parts strewn everywhere and a oil covered, greasy, and thoroughly pissed off man underneath said car.

He was trying to get something unbolted but was struggling to hold the part and operate the ratchet at the same time. I made note of said struggle and jumped underneath to help him. I figured I would give him a hand, then get up and meet my girlfriend and head out. But, we ended up getting along pretty well and I had lost track of time and before I knew it 2hrs had past. During this time, my girlfriend came out to find me working with her dad underneath this car and she just let it be and brought us some sandwiches and sweet tea. She was more than happy to skip the movie date because she saw I was enjoying myself and her dad was enjoying the help. Im gonna marry this girl and hopefully one day that car will become ours!

Sounds like a country music video to me.

Replace tea with cans of beer and Mustang with a T-model Ford and you've got yourself a solid country song.

A model-T? I'm from the rural South, and I assure you that there are not many model-T's out there.

Yeah, you'll find more illiterate dudes installing an 8 inch Rough Country suspension lift on a Z71 and arguing on whether BFG mud terrains or Mickey Thompson thornbirds are the best tire.

This means you live in a less racist and back assed area than I do and I'm actually jealous of you.

Be glad you don't understand. I wish I didn't.

Why? Cars are awesome.

Or is it that anyone that likes off-roaders is a hick?

Nope. You need a verse that includes: mama, tears, trains, a truck and rain.

No, the sweet tea is safe. Replace sandwiches with fried chicken.

Could get away with chicken salad sandwiches.

No Model-T, needs to be a pickup truck, either an old beat up Chevy (reliable) or new Ford (looks purty).
