I'm out visiting my Dad this week out in California. One of the things that I truly enjoy is the ability to drive my Dad's dream car. Back when he was in his 20s he had a 1964 1/2 Mustang. My grandfather had them too. Dad did pretty well financially in his life and one of the gifts he gave himself was this classic Mustang.
I remember one of the best days of my life as being when I drove around in one of these predecessors. I was on I-5 right next to the ocean. I was driving a classic Mustang that purred when it idled and roared when it was go time. I had 20 bucks in my wallet, and I had a beautiful girlfriend I was sharing the day the with.
Getting to the beach in my Dad's classic Mustang
The bluffs
After heading to the ocean in the Mustang I went out and took a walk on the bluffs. This bluff walk is one of my favorite views in the world. You got a blue sky, deep blue water, and a touch of desert landscape.
It's a touch of a vacation
I'm still online a ton, still checking DMs, still working on projects, but with a nice change of scenery and a nice a visit with dad.
Look at that view! I half way expected you to rip off your clothes and jump into the water yelling no regerts!
upvoted! traveling together with my dad in California right now, looks like a great visit!
my friends @world5list and @theywillkillyou told me about you.
keep up the hard work, really helps the platfrom.
Enjoy!
Awesome! Sick car, my Dad had an old MGB he wanetd to save for me, but when my little brother was born, my Mom made him ditch it for a station wagon lol I enjoyed listening to your orientation and some of the townhall the other night. I gotta get more into the Discords. So much to get into on/related to Steemit! lol
Ooo she's a beauty! My dad's '68 Camaro used to be candy apple red, but he was constantly getting pulled over it seemed, even if he wasn't speeding! They say it has something to do with the color red. Anyway, now it's a beautiful canary yellow, and it is still such a thrill to drive! So I totally get the feeling! Dads are the best, and I totally appreciate still having mine around, as I see you do too! :)
Mustangs are beast cars,your family has a great taste for cars.Let me hope you will add a lambo to the mustang collection hehehe.
Having time with Dad is a great experience in life,i remember the first time i talked and enjoyed time with my dad(it was awesome).
Looks like a good day overall! Love the beach. I don't know that I would have gone swimming if I knew that I was going to be getting into that beauty when I was done. Wouldn't want to get saltwater on the seats or sand on the floorboards. Stuff is meant to be enjoyed, but not if you're messing up a 65 Mustang!
Enjoy getting to cruise around in that. I'd be giving you jealous looks if I saw you drive by. :)
I can totally relate. Growing up, my dad had a 1972 Datsun 240Z. That car would flat out haul. One day I would love to get my hands on one, although it is not cheap like it was in the seventies.
Nice that you are able to spend some time with your dad. Mine passed away a few years ago, and I often wish I could have spent more time with him. It is so easy to get wrapped up in our lives we lose sight that other parts are passing by. Have a blast, and keep making those memories with the ones you love.
Nice! I had a 65 in High School. Then I traded my Dad for his 68 because it had a 289 instead of a 6. Then I watched a couple of weeks later at my Dad's Asphalt Plant as that 65 burnt to the ground after being surrounded by hot asphalt from a leak. :-( Also, I played music in CA with a friend from Laguna Beach named Mark Turnbull years ago and remember how beautiful it was there......Anyway, enjoy, Mark
Driving your Dad's dream car being one of the things you truly enjoy speaks volumes about the level of tender attachment between you and him. No matter what we do, family is where the heart really is and where true love emanates from. I have a feeling that this pedestal of love is in abundant supply in your family. Please don't ever lose this love. It is the perfect bond of union. Happy vacation @aggroed
I’ve been to california several times and we would always hire a nice big convertible to drive around in. Fuel is so cheap in the US that engines are huge! Good days.
How sweet to be with family. Lovely life!
also very good travel.
like your lovely job.
best of luck!
You're not Just driving your dad's dream car but also making your own dreams come alive.. You're living life.
father son adventure , that is awesome cruising on a mustang along california, that is a great bonding session
it's nice traveling..Having time with Dad and mom is a great experience in life,i remember the first time i talked and enjoyed time with my dad(it was awesome).
best of luck @aggroed
Great view @aggroed I do love mustang, Hopefully i'll also get a chance to ride her :) Till then i'm happy for you mate.
Following you to know more about you. :)
This great traveling.... i appreciate this car. keep it up dear friend
What are some interesting things to do in San Diego?
That is an absolute beauty. Congrats to your dad on being able to own one and good for you for visiting him. The weather this past week was perfect(especially for winter) in southern California. Are you still around?
Through Friday.
Nice. Check out ballast point if you have time and are into craft brews!
Dope Scenery .. & you can't go wrong with a classic.
Question: Have you ever "borrowed" your dads mustang without him knowing? (Just between you and me)
Great visit keep it up
That’s the way to do it! Enjoy your work so doing a bit of it while on vacation or in a new place isn’t a slog so much as a nice break from exploring.
Also a change of scenery alone can do wonders for a person’s happiness!
Driving Mustang and then going to a beach is what makes you complete.
Great mustang! Awesome spot on the bluffs... enjoy!
Thanks for sharing i will done upvote I always see your post. And follow you
It's great to have a close relationship with parents. And children must always visit their parents, family. Nice trip to California and enjoy the time together. Mustang is a powerhouse.
I plan to gift my dad the car of his dreams pretty soon!
Im in LA. If youre down here lets grab a coffee or beer.
I could be up for that. Later tonight? Check DMs. I'll send a phone number.
Cool - connected with you on Discord DM
Have a nice trip,Dad's Mustang is looking really nice
The trip was very nice, and the car was very nice and interesting I liked its see
Sweet car. Some advice from someone who lost both parents before i was 25, put your phone away and enjoy every second you can with your parents. You will only have them for so long. Work and steemit don't matter at this point. Have a good vacation.
It's a family thing to be a workaholic! He's reading an article about being recently retired and bored It's a family tradition!
awesome post man and wow! what a beautiful car.... top down cruising in cali. is there anything better?!
exhilarated & astonishing!
Ini sangat bagus
Beautiful scenery and love, love the car and I love the story of your dad and his dream car and what better than take a drive in it to a beautiful beach.
Enjoy the beautiful vacation and your family.
You are near me, yay!!!! Are you coming to the Steemit meet up in LA on the 26th?
My roommate has a cool old Mercedes that belonged to his dad. You should street race.
That's an really beautiful thing that your dad take care of his dream car very well and i am sure you also enjoy your drive in that super special car of your dad,and really it's feel great to drive a mustang of our own😇
Great travel @aggroed so happy that you'd been able to visit your dad. It's a wonderful feeling being with the person we love. I remember, I have a foreign friend from California who really are proud and he even let me see a bit of the beautiful places he has been there. Nice blog Sir.
Wow, the view is perfect and the wind that blew while you're taking the video was awesome @aggroed! That Mustang is just perfect! Sometimes we have to enjoy our "ME" time and unwind. Where you are now is a very relaxing place. Enjoy @aggroed and keep safe!
Damn beautiful
You can always be proud with a car like that
so cool
a fun trip, you look really enjoy it, happy happy friends
good classic Mustang
my classic car is very fond of his but can not afford to buy only but just see it is so charming in my eyes
Nice that you drove your dad's dream car, even nicer that your dad lived that good life from early enough. everyone wishes for that good life and to be able to treat themselves to their dream need. Reason we have to work as hard as possible to achieve this things for ourselves and live that dream life. Or maybe one i would make enough money from Steemit and be able to afford a car for myself lol
i am sure you enjoy yourself with dad.
I'm glad you enjoyed to drive your dad's car. I want a red car now :)
The sky and the sea are amazing!
Nice car I love it @aggroed
The last paragraph shows you're a pro at multitasking even when you're on the move. You keep tabs on your project no matter what.
Hope you enjoyed the ride on the classic mustang??
