Over the weekend I got to help my cousin give her dad a special Father's Day gift. Her dad which is my mom's cousin, loves Camaros and I happened to find out about it a few weeks ago when I saw his giant 5th gen model downstairs I wanted to steal.

Her dad had a 1972 black Camaro when he was younger and never quite got over that car and now with the 5th gens out he's been taking trips weekly to the dealerships looking at them but has never got to drive one. So my cousin had an idea to get him a fathers day drive in mine. So sunday afternoon my mom and I drove over and met my cousin Tiffany outside, her dad had no idea what I had brought with me. I gave her the keys and she ran in the house. Next thing I know Keith comes outside holding the keys with this look of absolute amazement on his face and the minute he saw my Sasuke and realized the keys in his hand went to it he got the biggest permagrin I think Ive ever seen. Him and his wife went for a nice long drive together which included showing off to the nieghbors lol. After driving Sasuke he was just absolutely in love and it felt really good seeing him so happy. My cousin was also happy since she is now daughter of the year lol.

I almost thought I was gonna end up walking back to Kentucky while Sasuke found a new home in Keiths carport.

I got to hear the story about his 1972 camaro firsthand which was awesome. The 5th gen brings back alot of memories for him and he told me when he gets his he wants it to be black just like his 1972.
