I know the feeling.
My dad is in town right now and I have not seen in in a couple years.
I have been sharing progress pics with him of the cuda since day-1.
The first day he was here, my Mother in Law came over and I replaced her power steering pump on her Jeep and Dad wanted to help, and did a great job, no problem.
He wanted to look at the cuda and asked me several times about it while I was working on the jeep, so i repeatedly told him to go ahead and lift the cover and take a look, but he declined and said he would wait because he did not want to mess with it and he would wait for me to lift the cover off.
I thought that was pretty respectful, and very similar to the way i would be in the same situtation, like Father like son ya know.
So, long story short....when the time came to lift the cover, the cover comes off, and the hood goes up, and he staggers over to the engine compartment to take a look with his eyes as big as saucers, and the first thing he does is try to set his quart jar full of soda on the fender and it slides and he fumbles to straighten it and grabs it after it clangs all over the pretty orange painted fender a few times.
I just gave him the WTF look and he just acted like nothing happened.LOL.
My buddy Jack was there too and looked at me, like 'oh crap' did that just happen.LOL.
Now I'm debating wether or not to take him with me to a car show this weekend.
If I do I gotta make sure I repeatedly tell him to keep his hands off other people's cars because his short term is not so great now days.
