Father’s Day is coming up this weekend, which means we can predict what’s about to happen across America with almost absolute certainty. The nation’s strategic necktie reserves are about to take a serious hit. Golf tees and balls alike will be in short supply come Monday morning. And greeting card shelves will be picked dry of any wares featuring corny jokes, goofy puns, and whatever PG-rated toilet humor the Hallmark Corporation approves for public consumption.
But if you can get past all the cynical consumerism, Father’s Day is a chance to reflect on just how cool dads can be. For many of us, fathers are the ones who first introduce us to the wonderful world of transportation. They buy us our first toy cars, read us our first books about planes, and show us the freedom and fun that machines can provide.
So in honor of dads the world over who embody both paternal perfection and transportational ingenuity,The Drive has pulled together a group of videos showcasing dads, kids, and vehicles working together in beautiful harmony. Take a few minutes, check ’em out—then share this link with your dad. You know he’ll click on anything you post on his Facebook wall.
