The Perfect Day...

Recommended Posts

My perfect day started for me today with this...

My Dad called me up this morning to go to a car show. I went to his house to fine a brand new 2005 Mustang GT Convertible sitting in the driveway. Dad Hands me the keys and says "Rick, Go easy on her; She only has 500 miles on her" Dad hops in his 1965 Mustang and I hopped in the '05 dropped the top and started to roll... The ponies fired up and we were on our way.

My best girl was sitting in the passenger seat when we were scanning channels on the stereo (no XM) when my most favorite song in my life came on the radio... So there I am doing almost 100 mph singing at the top of my lungs in almost like a zen like state in a car I have dreamed about forever.

We get to the car show and find some of our buddies and lined the ponies up in their corral, just admiring the beautiful Detroit metal and iron that made this country great. The horsepower, the paint jobs and the work that people put into these classic bits of american ingenuity made it into my top 10 of moments to remember.

2 hours later a raspy voice yelled out who's car is this? It was "Smash" from the Smash Band that played Rantoul. He recoginzed me and complemented me greatly on both of our cars.

The real compliment was paid when the final judging came later in the afternoon when the '65 took 2nd place and the '05 took 1st place in their respective classes..

Sometimes you have to get away from the sport that we are in and enjoy other things life has to offer.. A very dear friend of mine says its "balance" Mar... You are sooo right.. :)

I'm sitting here drinking a beer not wanting to go to sleep for I do not want my perfect day to end.

Aside from all the cool shit that happened today, It was absolutely freaking awesome just to hang out with my Dad and share some time with him. I guess thats what made it so special.

My Dad and I havent been on real good terms for the past few years. He works just as hard if not harder than i do. Please take some time to call your parents and let them know you love them.
