a Jag for Dad
Like many people in their generation, my parents have been green since.... well since forever. Everything was/is reused and recycled. Everything was/is salvageable. A pair of supermarket flip flops could last, give or take, 5+ years. My dad, in particular, is a modest spender. He's frugal with his personal expenses but always generous with us.
With Simon's return home, my dad finally sold the ol' Mercedes whale on Craigslist. This was the perfect time to do a little car shopping. With the much appreciatted assistance of friend extraordinaire Joel, we surprised my dad with a beautiful Jaguar XF in vapour grey.
He was definitely shocked and funnily a little mad that we spent the money on him. After the initial shock passed, he got really into it and is now loving his new ride. This was one the funnest experiences!

Ooooooh, I love it!! Maybe for old time's sake your dad can give me a ride home from WHS when I'm in town next! :)
Your dad should be so proud that his kids gave him such a great gift!
Excellent choice of cars. Most excellent.
