Prescription Drive

Shot for “Looking Close… on Friday!” and the theme “Toy Cars”

 

I felt obligated to enter a photo for this theme. Looking back to when my son was 2-years old, he has always been into cars. And to this day at age 27, he still loves cars and works in the auto industry.

 

Growing up he was always playing with toy cars and he amassed a large collection of them. We (my wife and I) became quite accustomed to opening a drawer or cabinet door to find a toy car or two within. We were careful to not walk around our home barefoot as stepping on one of them was hazardous to our health. Toy cars are still in his life as we have carried on a tradition that he gets at least one toy car as a gift every Christmas.

 

He has lived on his own for several years now and we still find some of his cars in unsuspecting places. This Hot-Wheels roadster being one I pulled from the cabinet below our TV.

 

As for my title of ‘Prescription Drive’, I was a child of the 60’s and 70’s, and just hopping in the car with the family to go for a drive was quite common growing up. I enjoyed it then and still enjoy drives today. But now I have a destination in mind (usually some place I can snap a picture or two).
