What’s a moment in your life that felt like it was straight out of a movie? – Asks the daily prompt.

We were nearing the end of a wild vacation trip that ended in Daytona Beach Florida. We were debating whether to stay another day or two. That morning we were speaking with some friends back home and they told us about a party that evening. We said we’d be back the next day or the day after that.

But after having breakfast we joked about showing up and surprising them. We continued to joke about it but let some time lapse and then looked at each other and said “Let’s Do It.” That became our moto because the movie Animal House had just been released and we saw it on the 2nd day of a 9-day trip.

That drive was like a Smokey and the Bandit or Cannonball run movie.

We had my nice old Camaro and broke a few speed limits, we’ll all of them on the way back in record time and showed up and surprised the crew. We took turns driving, each tank of gas, which that V8 ate like candy.

One of those stupid things you do as a youth. It was the most fun I’ve ever had driving though. And one of the best vacations ever outside of family ones.

I don’t have a good shot of my old favorite, but it looked like this but in maroon color.
