One of the first ever complete road trips ever, happened in ’06 when I’ve gotten my driving license.
Now having our personal mean to travel, the car fitted perfectly to our style.
I’ve inherited the car from my dad and it helped us broaden our horizon even more.
I didn’t realize i had the gear head gene, a passion that i will grow exponentially in the future, but at that time i was still a novice.
We decided to go to the seaside. In April. Why not?
The only guidance was just go straight.
We only knew in what direction we have to go and that’s what we did.
The highway was empty and my beginners sign in the windshield fitted perfectly with the landscape.
All of our music CDs where like hand picked for trips like these and we resonated with them even better now.
Everything got a whole new level of perception and thus another passion started to evolve - road trip music.
For example this song had become on of your most evocative and representative driving music ever.
Arrived at the destination after a few hours.
Everything was so calm and peaceful.
It was getting dark and i remembered that i had a friend of the family nearby and why not let’s make a surprise visit.
We we’re in luck that they we’re home and they gladly invited us to spend the night. Although they were surprised to see me because some time had past and not to mention i’ve just got my driving license like a few days earlier and just undertook a long trip like this.
Even more they helped us with some money for gas to get back home the next day.
Sadly we still own them that sum after so many years.
If we see them again i will add interest to that. 
The next day we had the whole beach to ourselves, it was just us and 2 chairs that i had in my trunk.
Like we we’re from the old video game Zed.
It’s been a while since we saw the seaside and this trip made us to want more to travel.
Thus the car became a symbol of freedom because we can go anywhere now.
While we were heading home, I’ve just gotten a text from a girl that I’ve had completely forgot that i had a date that day.
S**t son.
Yeah, my bad but we didn’t know that the trip will take longer that one day.
I’ve replayed and explained why I’ll be late and let’s reschedule and i will pick her up from home when i arrive.
Gladly she understood and accepted.
But fatigue after so much driving took its told and I’ve lost focus for a bit.
In a ramp where they were doing construction work, i didn’t see their road signs in time because they were badly put.
So i took with me 3 construction posts and finally until I’ve got to a complete stop, ironically, the 4th one was a STOP sign that was on my windshield.
On the radio this song was playing hard.
Not a great choice regarding aggressive driving studies.
My first accident and it was weird.
Like time was slower.
We get out of the car, nobody in sight, again completely empty, like we we’re the last 2 people on Earth.
The car was fine minus some minor scratches, we put back all the singes in their place and went our way.
We switched places so i can take a break from driving and recover mentally per say.
After half an hour, i hear Adrian : “F@#K..”
“What?”
“I’ve forgotten my driving license home.”
We switched back just in case to be safe we survived this long.
I’ve recovered through laughter.
Finally we got home with no more incidents, i picked up the girl then left Adrian at his place and after that a very interesting date took place, me telling her our adventure and we laughed so hard. We connected and a very nice relationship took place with that girl.
Another worthy road trip.
