Give Dad the Gift of a Clean Car

I’m sure most of our Dad’s pride and joy is his car. Cleaning it every Saturday afternoon, even when there is not a speck of dirt on it? This is definitely true for mine! He has always been a real lover of his cars, and he loves visiting Las Vegas car dealerships to check out what’s on offer! After reading this publication recently, he decided he was going to look at getting an autonomous vehicle, which really worried me and my mom.

We spent the next couple of days talking him out of it, bringing back all of the memories we have had in his current car. We were talking about how we remember my first driving lesson like it was yesterday. My Dad took me out in the parking lot of Canadian Tire and we practiced for three hours. Once we were done, my Dad patted me on the back and said “Good job, lets go home!”. As I was backing up I rammed the back end of my Dad’s new (back then) 2004 Corolla into the cart storage area. My Dad ran out in a panic to see the damage. With a relieved look on his face he made me park the car and told me NOT TO MOVE! He ran into Canadian Tire and a few moments later came out with two bags full. He told me to drive him home, so I did. We got home and my Dad got straight to work. Four different buffing rags and an array of Armor All products came flying out of the bag. That dime-sized paint scuff what coming out and he was going to make his baby shine again.

He did eventually let me drive Ol’ Berta again, although his Armor All products were never too far away…

Most fathers already seem to have everything they could possibly need or want, which makes choosing Father’s Day gifts a challenge. Instead of buying him another tie, golf balls, or a “world’s greatest dad” coffee mug; this year give him something he can really use: elbow grease. Spend the day washing good ol’ Berta and reminiscing of all the fun driving lessons you guys took in her glory days. Another great idea is gift him a tire change.
