Car Fest

My dad had a mid-life crisis earlier this year and purchased a pretty little car. He decided to take it to the Cruiz-In and park it along the route -- you know, to show it off.

Now, during the parade, people throw candy. My dad didn't take into account that his car might get NAILED with candy, being parked along the parade route.

Let me tell ya, hearing hard suckers bounce off the car was almost as bad as hearing nails on a chalkboard.

He didn't seem too fazed by it. If it were my car, I'd have been crying!

We tried to keep a good distance between the car and the girls so that people would aim for them and miss the car. It didn't always work though.

After the parade, a boy -- and I mean boy, maybe 11 -- walked by and complimented the car, knew the make, model, and year of it. We were pretty impressed. Then he walked by a couple minutes later and asked how fast it went. My dad's answer? 55 lol
