For the last 6 years, I've often fantasized about the day I just had.
All the hard work, frustration, problem solving, leaks, noises....they're all worth it.
The look on my son's face was priceless.
The words coming out of my woman's mouth were unexpected.
The look from the guys at the local tire shop as we drove by was something I've never experienced.
Today, I got to take my one year old son and fiance on a ride in my 90% complete 1979 Camaro.
First, I took the little one on a cruise since he was restless. He looked up at my with his big blue eyes from the back seat, smirk on his face, as to say "Daddy, why'd you wait so long to take me for a ride in your cool car!?!?!?". He fell asleep within 5 minutes of departure.
Then while he slept, my fiance and I took a cruise down the street to get some ice cream. People on corners waived, a few sports cars revved their engines in an attemp to intimidate us. A Chevy suburban TRIED to pass us on an empty country road. Then my fiance said what I NEVER thought I'd hear. After a few 0-60 pulls, and some choice expletives, she said "Honey....can I drive?" in a very timid voice. Funny how things are now that she UNDERSTANDS my addiction. This was her first ride in the Camaro...EVER!!
I've always daydreamed of they day I could cruise the country roads with a hot chick in the passenger seat, the envy of the people we passed....just cruisin'.
To bring the rest of my OTHER dream to fruition, I need to get my one year old son UNDER the car one day, wrenching away.
Just thought I'd share.
