My Dad's cooler than your Dad!

Some of you are so lucky to have caring fathers. I'll never know.All I can do now is be there for my sons.

 

My dad screwed off when I was 4. My mom worked and made all the sacrifices to raise me and my two sisters. I was fortunately able to learn enough to have a 41 year marriage and raise three kids who are totally car crazy. I envy all you guys that were fortunate enough to have all the great dads in this thread. I learned that it isn't about the hardships in life, but what a person does to recover from them.

Was this one of Jerry Hallman's cars? I've found some images of Aggravation II, & if this is his, I'd love to share it with him! Without the photobucket watermark of course...

 

My Dad was as cool as any. Carpenteria, 1946

 

Dean, you were lucky at life's lottery, and didn't let your Dad down !

 

Marty, I was lucky until I tried to do aerobatics in a '53 Srude at El Mirage. Will be payig for that until I'm in a jar on the mantle.

 

My dad wasn't cool at all, but he had great taste in cars.

 

I guess you could say my dad was “cool”.
Off the top of my head, coached my little league games for 6-7 years. Took me hunting and fishing whenever he went when I was old enough. When I got my learners permit, he handed me the keys to his ‘57 Chevy PU he bought new.
Ya, he did bag on me many a times, I didn’t talk back, etc. even if he was wrong, I held my tongue.
I could call him at 1 am if I broke down and he was to be to work in the morning, if he had to, many a time he’d make some calls and get a trailer and come get me. Never missed a minute of work.
I always just thought he was a great dad.
Guess he was cool too.
