Last Father's day I bought my Dad a bunch of turn signal bulbs from Lasfit. He said "What the hell are these? You didn't get me any scotch?"

Grew up in the military. We road tripped every year to go visit family and have vacations. Road trips and driving was a part of my life... My mom said I was just a few weeks old when they hopped in a VW bug and drove from Texas to the east coast. Road trip'n is in my blood! LOL

As a teen - I took my trucks all over the place. 3 on the tree... windows down... exploring the world. Finally free. I drove all over the place with my friends. Mostly in trucks... sometimes on motorcycles. Didnt matter really, as long as it had an engine and I was moving forward.

I then had my own family and did the same thing. Road tripped from one end of the country to the other.. multiple times. Every year 1-3 trips. My kids have seen more states than most kids have seen towns in their own state. Best memories ever. Life is just right behind the wheel with the fam in the back and adventure out in front.

Best ride together with my dad? I pretty much only remember one being as he died when I was 10 years old.

My dad quit high school to build and race cars (Ford's to be specific). I was probably about 7 or 8 and one Sunday morning he took his newly built race car off the trailer to take it out for a test drive. So there I am, standing where the passenger seat used to be, holding on to the roll bar. We went out Ford road into what is now Canton, but it was all country back then. He turns down a dirt road and floors it. We're hauling ass up and down this road, and after a few runs we began to head back home. Of course a cop pulls us over, and after checking out the car, he sends us on our way. We get back home and put the car back onto the trailer.

My memory isn't real clear but I think it was the burgundy 61.

Anyway, that's my best memory of my favorite ride with my dad.

Sorry guys. I lost dad when I was 17. Fact I had just turned 17. Also, he was not a big part of my life. As I was the second son. And dad was more into my brother's life. And my grandmother was overprotective of me. Now my Uncle. Was a different story. He was more of a father to me. I lost him 10 years ago. I used to ask him where he was going? He'd say to me, I'm going crazy. I'd ask can I come? Alway a fun trip. It could be a trip to the bank or barber shop. Or even to a strip mall.

I spent the first six years of my life at Edwards AFB in the Cali desert. My dad had an Air Force blue 1959 Opel Rekord (look that one up) and he used to take me on a two lane road that ran somewhere in the area of Edwards/Lancaster/Boron (I think). Anyway, it went up and down like a roller coaster and if we went fast enough in that heavy car it could make you sick. I looked forward to it every time.

My dad was was a 3rd grade education man. Raised on a farm. 8 brothers and sisters. Joined the Navy in WWII and was deployed with the Seabees. He was in Guadal Canal when Japan surrendered. Didn't talk about it much. But he learned a trade in the seabees, and became a plumber, owning his own company for 20+ years. Died much to soon in 1984, age 58.
But my best memories weren't from the early morning drives to beautiful Toledo Bend Reservoir for a day of bass fishing. My memories are mostly from a Skeeter Bass boat. Much wisdom was passed down in these long hours on the lake. Just daddy and me. I got "the talk" in the boat. I learned respect and patience on the water. I learned to use power tools building a camp on the lake. I learned to fish and later, to hunt, from daddy. I learned to drive while towing the boat home.
I guess I entered the coveted age of "manhood" while spending time with my dad on Toledo Bend. He helped me buy my first vehicle, for college, a Blue 1973 Ford Courier. Automatic with factory air and white vinal seats. I loved that truck.
He's been gone now 40 years, and I miss him more everyday. What I wouldn't give for one more minute in the Skeeter with my dad, Y. W. Cheatwood.

The older I get, the more I miss my daddy too.
I'm glad you have those kinds of memories. Cherish them!

Most memorable would be a NE trip up to Maine summer of '69 in the 65 Impala SS. Just me, dad, and bro. Mom passed the year before. I'm sure this trip was just to clear his thoughts and move on.
We took the tent and camped, then some time just slept in the car along the rocky beaches. Stopped and ate lobster by the roadside stands. Just roughing it. Dad made it until 2021 and was quite the character right up to the end. RIP and Happy Father's Day to all dads.

My dad was a truck driver since he was 18 driving logging trucks in northern California. Could operate any heavy equipment and taught me many. When he worked for the California Division of Forestry he would drive in all the local parades and many times I would get to ride with him which was super fun. The photo is of one of the unit's he drove firefighting, a Diamond T.

My best memory of my dad regarding rides (he wasn't much into cars or home improvement or mechanics or anything), was when the two of us did a road trip across the country. He had a POS Chevy Citation - it had the speedo that only went to 85. We were somewhere in the middle of Montana I think - somewhere in the middle of nowhere on a long, straight stretch of road. Out of no where, my dad says "Let's see what she will do!". He floored it and it very slowly accelerated - he ended up burying the needle on the speedo, so he got going somewhere north of 85 - If i had to guess it wasn't much more than 90-95, but it was awfully funny to see my dad do that. He was a pretty straight shooter and didn't speed normally. We both laughed a lot about that one.

He said he wanted to take the trip to kind of make up for earlier in my life when he was busy with work - I didn't see a lot of him. It was a good trip - that was over 40 years ago now! He's been gone for 14 years now and I still miss him.
