Some days life just has a way of making you question everything.

Like...is this kid even mine? I thought it would be a treat to take him to school on a Friday..IN A LIGHTNING. My Dad only ever took me in malaise era station wagons. You know what? You can ride the bus until the DNA test comes back kid.

Geez it’s hard to impress kids these days.

I’d be very appreciative if you took me to work in a Lightning. Pick me up around 8:20am. I’ll also need to borrow it because my job involves driving a fair bit.

Even if he gets it, I can see others kids in the carpool line looking at it as just some old pickup, which he probably knows and is anticipating. Kids suck (not saying yours does, just that kids can be really mean and hateful to each other). They’re not old enough to understand classics yet. Give it time.

Take it easy on him, Dad.

Still taking him to school. There’s your problem. A destination like that wipes away whatever cool factor the vehicle they’re riding in has.

‘Hey son, we’re going to Disney in a Lightning!’ When the vehicle takes you somewhere cool, it becomes cool. If it was already cool, it will be legendary.

To be fair, back in the days of high school, I would be so tired in the morning that you could take me to school in a McLaren F1 and I’d probably still be half asleep in the passenger seat. I can relate.

I knew someone would call me out for it.

The important part here is the UUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHH DAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDD face and not any specific action that’s prompting it. Because that is definitely an UUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHH DAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDD face.

I know I was pretty clueless about cars until I realized I could drive soon.

Though my parents choice of vehicles back then were work trucks and underpowered 80s Panthers.

I didn’t realize how much more I should have appreciated those LTDs and Grand Marquis’s back then.

He usually would fall asleep on the way, so maybe there’s some hope.

No, he wanted to give it up a few months ago. He’s not quite at the recommended height, but we like to live on the edge.

It’s a truck. At that age, if it didn’t have a hood scoop I was not interested.

My dad used to pick me up from school on his Goldwing. I would get so embarreassed. Now I look back and think how bad ass that would be!

The man is flexing a North Face jacket at 9.

That’s his mom’s doing. He has a tendancy to lose jackets, so I won’t buy him one that’s over $15.

If y’all are in North Fulton, then he’s gotta build that clout up early! North Face is a stepping stone. I was at Avalon in June and kids that were like 12, 13 were wearing Bape and Supreme. I’d only seen that stuff on YouTube videos haha.

Supreme is the biggest scam going.

yep - that is my nephew. Great kid, hates everything about his folks. I figure he’ll find his own “Lightning” to get excited about, even if it doesn’t have wheels.
