Men don't tinker anymore though. They go to cafes with their friends, go hiking, wear lycra and block traffic etc.
I do all that,

Except the hiking, wearing Lycra and block traffic,

So just going to cafe with friends, I'll wear the Lycra though if you pay me

I think most long term married men have the same views that if it ended you'd basically take advantage of having only yourself for company - and there's nothing wrong with that. Then they can burn the candle on both ends like me, there's a reason married men live longer

I'm my friendship groups favorite third and fifth wheel, it's always couples + Franco to all the events

My favourite car is my Mazda B2600 ute, it's absolutely ridiculous, it uses ****loads of fuel, and it's the slowest thing on four wheels but I enjoy it's simplicity.

It has no electrical problems, because it has mirrors you adjust with your hands, windows you wind up or down with a handle and some knobs, sliders and buttons for HVAC controls.
