Well for all the 4 door not likers, the V8 engine doesn't know if its a 2 door coupe or a 4 door sedan! lol. The views are unimaginably beautiful! Your enthusiasm and positivity helps all of us : ) Husband is quite impressed also! V8 Nova's are cool!!! The early body styling is better than the later years, and back then you could still get a convertible!!
You two are awesome! My wife and I took that same trip down PCH on our honeymoon 49 years ago. You are bringing back so many memories. It is so nice to see people really enjoy and appreciate the grandeur that God has given us. God Bless the both of you!
Is that route 66. ?
@@40yeartrucker25 That is Highway 1 or also known as Pacific Coast Highway.
@@40yeartrucker25 no '66 is Chicago to west coast(or Visa versa).🙂
@@40yeartrucker25 no
Man this is my turf if followed for a while but man. How many mustang rent a car you see. A classic on thoughs cliffs y'all crazy sb local good video guys ?!!!!!!!!!!!!
The coastal fog is caused by the cold water meeting the warmer air. It can get pretty dense. Normally burns off by 9 or 10 o'clock. It is very pretty to look at from above...not so much to drive in! So glad y'all are just taking your time to be tourists. The Hwy 1 drive is spectacular. Your video is like a travelogue.
Nana will always remember the trip and reward y'all for her experience.
Correct, it takes longer to warm up the ocean water than the land surface, hence the ground fog.
Hi Emily, Absolute magnificent scenery, I'm so happy to watch you enjoying yourself on this road trip, your enthusiastic smiles say it all. I also must say that your filming and editing skills are very impressive. not everyone shows the perfection that you include in all of your videos. I believe you have a natural talent to do what you do. can't wait to see your next video, ya'll be safe out there and may God Bless.
Emily, your enthusiasm on this trip is so infectious, I had to get another booster shot!😀All kidding aside, I'm reacting the same as you. Those cliff side majestic views were clearly breathtaking! I'm reminded how similar it looks like the Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento coastline in Italy. Brings back fond memories! And the Nova looks better and better under that California sun. Take care my friends, enjoy and savor every minute, I am.👍👍
I setup a PCH road trip for our honeymoon. LA to SF, I rented a convertible and we hit the road. My new wife slept the entire trip and saw nothing while I drove. Aaron, you don't know how lucky you are to have someone like Emily!
For love the of water on the east coast, you should come into Canada and check out either the rocks at Peggy's Cove Nova Scotia by the Atlantic Ocean or along the Fundy Trail Parkway from St Martins New Brunswick along the coastline on up to Waterford and Alma New Brunswick. Scenic views of the Bay of Fundy. If you love beaches and the water and coastlines you'll love these drives too. My sister loves the water and coastlines.
Emily & Aaron, you guys are doing a fantastic job documenting the PCH, keep up the great Videos, be safe.
I don't think I've ever seen a prettier, happier, giggly and more cheerful woman ever. Emily your the best.
"... I feel like a dork" Haha embrace the dorkiness! It's what makes us special!
I really enjoyed taking this trip with you. While in the Navy I lived in Monterey for three years. 59 until 62. Then work kept me in Mission Viejo for 14 years. Texas for 18 years. Back to middle TN which is home for the last 18 years. I have been on your drive a few times. Sorry you missed 17 mile drive between Monterey and Carmel. Really beautiful back in the early ‘60s. I hope you have another video of the rest of the trip. You make it so much fun to see again. Happy you were careful while walking on the cliffs. They can be dangerous. Thanks for bringing back so many good memories.
Emily sometimes Aaron just has to call a doofus a doofus. Here is a like and comment to help your channel grow and get you the recognition you deserve.
I think the problem is that doofus is the only thing Aaron hasn't called them 😁
Nana said
"I'll teach u to corner hard again like that... I'll yeet my hubcap so u have to slow down"
love Nan the Nova
This is such a beautiful episode! Your joy in sharing it with us adds to our joy of watching. It almost seems like a honeymoon trip for you guys. Thanks for taking us along.
so glad you are saving a 4 door, i know they arent as "cool" as the 2 door versions, but personally i love 4 doors, so much nicer for passengers and/or kids to get in
What you called "the bridge to nowhere," is actually the "Bixby Bridge, which is a free standing bridge and iconic architectural landmark was completed in 1932 and remains as one of the tallest single-span concrete bridges in the world, spanning 714 feet in length. Also one of the most photographed places on the Central Coast. I love it, and the "marine layer."
My wife & I drove Highway 1 SF to LA in a Mustang Convertible on our honeymoon in 2006! ❤🚗💨
Emily....you should make a point of stopping at SolVang as you get closer to L.A. It's a beautiful small Dutch town with heavy influence from Holland. Very pretty, quaint, and something to see that seems out of place. cheers. Thanks for reviving the memories of my youth.
The waves crashing into the rocks is so relaxing . Almost as good as say a neck message, or a neck rub.
Emily’s happier than a skydiver whose faulty parachute just opened❤
Lol. That's pretty happy.
😂😂
He’s right you know
I could feel the almost spiritual nature of your feelings coming through on the video... and by spiritual, I mean spiritual in one with mother nature type of spiritual...
Taking time to look, listen, smell and sit with mother nature, is so very good to the mind, body and soul...
Thank you for sharing your happiness with us all....
Such a beautiful trip! You two are bringing back a lot of memories for me. My wife and I took our honeymoon down the coast from Seattle to San Francisco, two weeks of pure bliss, in a convertible Mustang. We returned to San Francisco four years later on our anniversary, and continued the trip down the coast, from SF to LA, again in a convertible Mustang. The only negative was that my wife was in her first trimester with our daughter, and she had morning sickness something awful along that curvy drive. Wonderful memories, though. She passed away unexpectedly one year after that trip. I've always wanted to take my daughter back to the west coast and show her the places her Mom and I got to see...
The PCH is so amazing! The parts that is just a sheer cliff drop off, and you look out into the vastness of the ocean, makes you feel so small!
I love seeing other channels commenting... Jared, it's cool knowing you are friends as well as fans.
I live in Northern California next time you come this direction go from San Francisco to Eureka you would go up starting on Highway one I would suggest stopping in all the little towns, especially Mendocino. It has an incredible view. The town has wooden plank sidewalks in front of all the knickknack stores, and you can also go out to the blow hole near the ocean you can continue north on Highway one until Until it runs into 101 and then end up going possibly to the drive-through, Redwood tree in Ligget, continuing north, confusion, Hill, and then through the Avenue of the Giants. It is an incredible drive all the way up to the Oregon border. I would suggest taking as much of the old highway as you can when you’re on 101 it runs you through miles and miles of several hundred foot plus tall redwood trees that are absolutely beautiful . it does tend to be foggy along the coast like you had experienced down by Santa Cruz but it is always beautiful.
Reminds me of my 1966 Chevy II Nova 2 door post! It had the 232 inline six and the awesome 2 speed powerglide!!!! and a Radio Shack/Realistic 8 track tape player! It was always nerve racking and fun waiting for the powerglide to shift from low to high!! If the engine was going to break it would happen then!!!!!!!! lol Miss that car.
Hello folks, you are taking that classic car into a beautiful part of the west coast… Monterey is as beautiful as it gets, once you pass the Brussels, and artichokes…. Could be pumpkins too…the town is full of wonderful places to visit, before and after lunch, and just south Carmel, and Pacific Grove, are well worth checking out. You are bringing out wonderful memories for me, while making your own… thanks for your positive outlook….James
"that's when you know when you've cornered too fast!" ROLF
back in my college days, my buddy was driving a Volvo back home and lost a drive shaft (!) when we were going downhill. We knew this because the darn thing passed us ... since we were going 65 mph (the highway speed limit in Massachusetts) we wondered if we would get a speeding ticket because our "car", or part of it, was speeding ...
I grew up in the '70s and '80s driving our 1966 Impala with a 283 and two speed powerglide. 2 barrel carb with only 195 HP. Wish I had that car now.
But did you have a good time?
Excellent video that proves profanity is not necessary for entertainment.
Thank y’all!
Hello Emily and Aaron, love the video. I was driving PCH one time and the fog rolled in too. The top of the fog just happened to be the same level as the road and I felt I was diving on a cloud. I’ll never forget that, thanks for the reminder from your video.
I’ve made the drive several times and it’s unbelievable, I can’t believe you didn’t stop in Carmel it has a fun downtown . If you make it all the way to caucus or the Pismo area stop and stay in one of the crazy rooms at the Madonna inn or the sandcastle on the beach in Pismo.
2:30 In Lucky's defense, if you're NOT Cussin' while your Drivein'. You not paying enough attention.! WATCH OUT FOR THE OTHER PERSON'S OOPS.!
12:00 Hey Texas, them thar Clouds be called FOG...
I drove from Gilroy to Morro Bay (by myself, darn it) in 2013 and just COULD NOT drive past any space big enough to park! I get it!! Also....my family had a major love affair with 63 Novas and Chevy IIs in the 70s-80s and I still adore them. Nice find!
You two have been together 21 years.....so nice to hear.
Glad you guys have a great relationship.
I never new Emily was a car whisperer now I have proof (25:32). 😉
All the best to you both and god bless.
Aaron your a lucky bloke.
Oh and love seeing you two every day.
U.K
I’m with him I love a good tomato snack. Dang nana is so sweet. And she just gets down the highway. All she needs is a good ac unit installed and she is perfect
I'm in Wa. State now. I have a customer ( old guy) Tom, from Tennasee, Worked for Boeing here.That saw a 1965 Corvair in my parking lot. He asked "Aint that a car vare" Yea." I heard, You got 2 b a mechanic 2 own 1 of them." Yea, You should. He said NO! You should have bought the Nova. Lol, Safe travels. A&E Great stuff.
It's great to see a 1974 Porsche 911 in traffic, much better than seeing one sit in somebody's collection. Cars are meant to be driven. The journey is always more important than the destination.
Congrats on 21 years!! Keep at it!!

My wife and did that drive in a convertible Mustang in the early 90’s, stayed over night at a bed and breakfast in Monterey. Incredible experience!!
The section of the PCH between Carmel and San Simeon is known as Big Sur. It's one of the most beautiful drives anyone can take. When you get down towards the southern end, stop in Cayucos and go to Duckies Chowder House at the bottom of the ocean pier. Fantastic seafood. New England and Manhattan Clam Chowder, and insane fish and chips with your drink of choice. It's a great place to stop for lunch or dinner. I stop there every time I drive through Big Sur.
Did this drive years ago in a square body blazer. This is really living! Love the views and video your putting up.
Okay. This video just ended and it feels like it ended too soon. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's video. Ya'll from the flat, dry, straight-as-an-arrow part of the c'try. Mountains, clouds, more than a pond of water, crooked roads ... Em, some tourist organization is gonna hire you! I relate to Arron's controlled enthusiasm
I lived in Monterey for three years and traveled the PCH several times. You are bringing back lots of memories. I live in Englewood Ohio now and sure do miss the west coast. Great video.
you are helping me re-live 1983... I rode a bicycle from Seattle to LA along that same route, camping all the way.
That’s AMAZING!!!! We see so many cyclists and applaud their tenacity!!!
If I recall correctly, that coast road from San Fran to LA has been used twice as the final scene in a movie. First was American Gigolo with the sound track "Call Me" by Blondie. And the second was in Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner". Harrison Ford and his android girlfriend Rachael, played by Sean Young, take off down the coast road determined to enjoy as much of life as they can before Rachael's "time to die" arrives.
I remember being stuck by the contrast between the dark rainy city scape where most of the action happens and the brilliant sunshine they drove in.
It's ironic that you are driving a Nova along the same road. Cheers.
I'm in love with your roadtrip. Beautiful done.
It has been a dream since my youth to do a ride there.
A huge thank you for sharing.
I live in North San Diego county. I have been hoping this whole trip you would be safe and without any incidents. My mother would talk about how as a little girl (1920's) they relied heavily on their garden. She loved to eat tomatoes fresh off the vine! I'm so glad you were able to make this drive and really appreciate the beauty of our coast. It's totally different from about Ventura north (and the water is much colder too!). Stay safe and thanks for sharing!
By Far My Favorite Episode You Did A Wonderful Job Displaying Some Of The PCH Beauty !! 👏
I know the feeling of exploring new places. You have fun , enjoy all that you see and experience all you can.
I was born in Carmel 70 years ago, in the same hospital that my mom was born in. That really is a beautiful area.
PCH my wore out endless summer 8 track and my 9 five dewy Webber , best days ever!
Before we moved from Paso Robles Ca.
I did commercial HVAC & Refrigeration. I would drive up to Gorda, to work on their refrigeration, in the store & restaurant. It is a beautiful area. We hated to leave, but getting ready to retire. There no way we could afford to retire comfortably. It’s nice seeing our old stomping ground. Thanks!
Your excitement about the California coast has given me a new appreciation. When I have a new more reliable car, I'll definitely do a highway 1 adventure. Next time you're in California, be sure to check out Lake Tahoe, and Yosemite. They're as mind blowing as the coast.
Emily. the ride down PCH is second to none in cali . i asked my wife to marry me in San Siemon . we had strawberries in santa rosa .Hollister is around the corner from Monterrey and has an amazing farm stand called Casa De Fruta. its all amazing from the bay to the 5 . im glad you two are enjoying the drive .. im glad We did it .
When you had 'nanna nova' parked at the side of the road, it reminded me of a classic 60s 'B -- movie'.
The two hoods had pulled up and were checking the drop from the cliff to the water, so they could get rid of a body.
You could call your videos if all clipped together as 'A Nova Summer'.
In my mid twenties I use to deliver beverages up and down PCH from Santa Cruz to Santa Barbara every day. Best job as a kid, well kind of a kid. Enjoy yourselves be safe on the cliffs edges. ✝️
i find that when nauseaus in a car, drive it! It does help and while your there, try and find something to slip in the drink, to make her sleep and not keep stopping. Don't get me wrong, I too, love an amazing scenery on travels, but hey, one does not need to stop so many times!!!
This video just reminds me how much I like Aaron. He's a funny dude.
Seriously you two, do not swap out that 283. Awesome little engine that punches way above its weight. In a light Nova the lack of torque will not matter. The Powerglide however would probably be best swapped for T350. Then again the Nova is light so that super high 1st gear shouldn’t be a problem. My wife and I did the PCH from SF to LA a while ago and it was beautiful, apart from a parking ticket in Monterey. Thanks this epic series.👍
When I was a HS junior (2000) my buddy inherited his grandfathers 1972 Buick Electra 225 4 door and 5 of us would cruise all night Friday and Saturday in that thing (gas was $1.10 a gallon for regular and we had no bills lol) Even with that monster of a 455 under the hood the car was so heavy the only way to spin tires was to punch the gas while turning from a dead stop, only issue was 80% of the time someone had to run back and pick up the hub cap that was ejected due to wheel hop lol.
"safety third"! love it
Frozen brussel sprouts and a slingshot. Lotsa fun and way better than trying to eat them (just like kale, they're actually not a food).
With all the bad things you hear about California nowadays, this video makes it all seem totally different. What a beautiful coastline. Love the video 😎
always liked the instrument panel of the old Novas, simple but stylish.
"Venting my excess energy" BIG thumbs up from me!
Looks like your gonna break the Smiles per Mile meter!
It's so refreshing to see you both slow down and enjoy the view!
Four of us left Pennsylvania in1971 and headed west to LA. We took the same trip you are up to San Fran. What a great experience. By the way we drove out and back in a 63 falcon.
Man what a awesome video thanks for sharing with us, the scenery is breathtaking you can see why you are so happy 😊 nature is such a beautiful thing take care and enjoy.
Just started watching you channel... the wonder and enthusiasm Emily has for life is amazing... great couple.
The PCH is a beautiful drive from Oregon on down. Now think how inhospitable it was for the mariner with it for a lee shore trying to beat into a west wind or find a safe harbor to get to with a gale blowing. Those rocks will rip the keel out and send you straight to Davy Jones's locker faster than you can say all hands on deck to shorten sail and come about!
That Nova is one of the perfect cars to tour Cali in!
All that upright glass! You can see out!
Great tour video!
Awesome drive. Thanks for sharing with this boy from California (Susanville) and reminding me of the great things about my state and reasons for staying. Thank You!
Just beautiful, enough said. Thank you.
Sitting here in Sweden, Watching this with Google maps in a separate window to follow you trip. It's amazing. I wanna go drive PCH too
Your video brought back a flood of memories....I did the PCH back in 1987 in my 1966 Pontiac Beaumont convertible......was a great trip.....thanks for bringing back memories of a great trip!
29:03
Look at the wear marks on that tree!
It’s sat there for a long time rubbing against the rocks until a storm rolled it.
I’m so glad you guys enjoyed the coast, my wife and I live just east of Sacramento, we just came back from Monterey celebrating an early 34 year anniversary, thanks so much for the video 👍😁❤️
lmao good Job Aaron you stopped somebodies bike from being ripped off! Bet ya scared the crap out of ! Awesome!!!
Awesome editing and i love how you keep nana the center of attention most of the time through out your amazing ddrive down the coast... 1959 and 60 cars are some of the most stylish cars ever made 2 dr or 4 dr IMO... thanks for sharing
It is so refreshing to see you take the time to see the beauty of our planet earth. Bill
Thank you so much for bringing us along on this adventure. As breathtaking as this footage is, I can only imagine how it is actually being there. The little Nova just looks like she was made for that type of cruising.
What a great video. At my age this something I will probably never get to see. Thank you for taking me along on your trip, I enjoyed it very much. Bill
PCH is a bucket list drive for me, but one that I will probably never get to make. So your videos have been a blessing. Thank you!!!
I would be like you and want to stop at every pullout and take pictures and just sit and enjoy!!
Coastal or Sea fog is usually a result of advection fog which forms when relatively warm, moist air passes over a cool surface.
When this happens, the cold air just above the sea's surface cools the warm air above it until it can no longer hold its moisture. This forces the warm air to condense, forming tiny particles of water which forms the fog that we see.
The impact, location and movement of coastal fog depend upon a number of conditions, including wind strength, wind direction and land temperature. If the winds blow in from the ocean, the fog will often rapidly cover the coast in a blanket of fog. If the land temperature is warm, the fog can quickly dissipate as the parcel of air warms. However, if the land temperature is cooler, the fog can linger for a longer time.
I'm glad you hang it all out there and risk being a dork to film for us! Keep it up. Love it. Love y'alls!
Natures beauty is food for the soul. Loved the episode
Never seen an ad anywhere on youtube. Chrome!
FSG is in my top 3 must watch channels, great content & such genuine and amazing people, you guys are clearly working very hard but making it look easy.
DAM YOU Aaron!!! Its 3 am and now I want a big ole beef steak tomato sandwich with mayo, lettuce, salt n black pepper and a side of Brussel sprouts sautéed in butter n garlic. and I have NEITHER!!! Our whole country has beautiful locations. The left coast has its own unique landscapes and sights not seen anywhere else. Like where I live. I am close to Letchworth state park in N.Y. and this place is absolutely stunning in the fall with all the colors. There is one section that has three huge water falls and one place with a railroad trestle crossing over 50 feet above the water. Then there is the Mount Morris Dam nearby too. There are several companies that do balloon rides during the season. Might be a cool thing to do for your channel at some point.
When I was in the Navy I was stationed at Point Mugu. It was about 45 miles north of LA. Part of my duties was driving people to and from LAX. Every time I would ask them which way they wanted me to go they said PCH. I only went about 60 miles or so north of there. I had a 77 280z 2+2 then and it was never happy.
30:29
Phenomenal video segment!
Gorgeous
Hi you two. Fantastic you’re going enjoy life it’s great to be out like that with the sun shining. Many years ago (2002)I flew from the UK had to change and on to John Wayne airport l hired an RV in Santa Ana l started from Newport Beach and l did all the beaches going up the PHC went up to San Francisco l parked up for 5 days in the Football stadium they a had bus service from 8am from the stadium in to the city and it returns at 8pm at night. Loved San Francisco the area’s are great but the Golden Gate Bridge was awesome l am so pleased you did this trip and filmed it, it brought back so many memories for me l had a blast thank you take care. 👍
This is the road trip of a lifetime. I am going to take your advice and book this route for our wedding anniversary.
I LOVE brussel sprouts and have most of my 40 years of life. Just don't be downwind of me after I eat them.
Awesome episode. However I implore you to take a ride north on the PCH through the California Redwoods into Oregon and Washington. So much more Beautiful.
"See the USA in your Chevrolet" was the slogan when this car was new..
I don't know what it is about watching you two drive the PCH, but it literally is making me smile seeing y'all enjoy it so much! Nana is a TROOPER BTW! 😁🤗
Many of the youtube car channels do this drive up to Monterey car week, but they use this -drive as about 10 secs of B-real. Glad you did it justice.
Definitely a lot to see here, I have lived in the central valley all of my 59 years. Glad you liked.
Central California watching
