Dad's Car, Selling his beloved car 20 years ago to make ends meet, a father gets the surprise of his

He drove away...leaving the family....never to be seen again...

He must be one hell of a father to inspire a son to go to that much effort. That’s called a legacy.

Imagine how good of a dad he must have been. This melts my heart ❤️

It really isn't just a car, it's a time capsule of recorded memories. That car knew who it's rightful owner was, so it was only a matter of time for it to return to the one person it knew would truly appreciate it. Congratulations sir, she came back to you.

to some of us men a car is more then a car .

If my kids track down my very first car and get it for me, I would punch them in the face. The car was a total piece of crap.

This brought tears pouring down my face..... These two sons are the most wonderful men and they had a equally wonderful father. There is still love out there folks. Great job guys.....

I lost my dad last June, at only 67 years old. I actually got him (back) into cars when I was 13 or so, he helped me buy my first car at 15 and always supported my passion and dreams of racing. Thanks to his encouragement I've raced at multiple tracks and met so many great people in the industry. I always wished I could have done something like this with his old Mercury Comet. Thanks Dad! Great to see; remember to spend time with those you love and remind them just how much you care.

"It's not just a car"... Anyone who's had a car that they loved and had to sell, knows the feeling.

Hurts me that I can't afford to do anything like this for my parents.

Love how everything comes full circle. Sold his baby to keep his other babies financially secure, and his babies came around and bought it back for him. The father's response was also moving too, he really missed his old chevy.

I wasn't raised by my father but this story was emotional. I am a father now and I can just imagine how much his son means to him. 🙌

4:21 “oh, they changed the mufflers” that man never let that car go, this is good stuff.

We also gotta appreciate all the multiple owners that this car had that kept it in tip top shape and hadn't decided to change anything! Everyone involved in this story is amazing.

"It's not just a car, it's all the memories and the feelings, it brings that back" That line really hit me hard also as a genuine car enthusiasts. You know, the reason why I got into cars is because of my dad's 1998 Honda Civic EK Hatchback. There's nothing much crazy mods on that thing, just your basic d16 with decent exhaust system, lowered springs. Heck it's not even that fast and nothing much special for most people but for me, it means a lot to me. I don't know the exact reason why I love such a car that is basically your "economy car" but I'd say that I truly enjoy the feeling of riding that, the loud yet decent sound of it, the connectivity that I've had with that machine that makes me calm down especially when I was like 4 - 5 yrs old. That thing really brings me a genuine smile on my face. That's also the reason why whenever I see an EK Hatch whether it's a Type R or not, it's more than enough to make me happy. But yeah, sadly, he sold his EK Hatch due to financial reasons and stuff and I wish that I could be able to buy it back or get one myself someday when I'm able to get a license. Again, that thing has no anything quirks and features like the Supra, GTRs, RX7, NSX, 911s, it's just basically your economy car and it wasn't even fast in the first place, but that thing would definitely have a special place in my heart!!! Sure that there's more better cars than Civics and don't get me wrong, I do genuinely love them but this one, there's something with that machine that makes me feel connected and it really makes me calm and happy. It's nostalgic to be exact. If it wasn't because of that car, I would not be the same person that I am today, heck, maybe I'd be someone who has no clear path to go in life, no goals or dreams. And lastly, that car is the main connection between me and my dad even tho we don't bond the way we used to be anymore (there's a big story of that and I don't wanna talk about it for now). That thing also taught me the true essence of being a genuine car enthusiast and that is doing what you love not for people's attention or whatsoever but for passion. It's not always about hype, something to brag on, stats, numbers, specs or any crazy math or mad technologies there is but rather the connection between you and the machine. I'm totally grateful for it!!!

Simply priceless! My Dad passed away 7 yrs ago, and we just sold his GMC Suburban. I was so hard, but it went to a wonderful owner who is going to restore it! I’d give everything to have my Daddy back! ❤️

"Oh they changed the mufflers" I laughed so hard and cried at the same time. After that whole time and he still remembers the damn exhaust note?! Crazy!

I wish I could have done that for my Dad before he died. Love you Dad.

Tears as soon as he said 'you're kidding me' and put his hand on his heart. You knew it hit him hard.

Absolutely beautiful. To see someone crying over a 'car' doesn't begin to describe how amazing that must have been for him and his whole family. I hope they are still on the road together.
