Any ideas for a fathers day prestent. I know its late but I am clueless as to what to get my dad. I don't want to get anything expensive. My dad has a 02' black F-250 Diesel.He drives an hour one way to work so I was thinking maybe something to do with his truck but I am dumbfounded as to what to get. I thought about detailing his truck(inside and out). But his line of work(sellsman for heavy equipment...backhoes,etc.)he would just get it dirty the next day. He is also a NASCAR nut(Kasey Kahne). But If I ordered something off NASCAR.com it won't be in for a while. Or is there is any cool new gadgets to put in the garage.I need some help. Anyone have any Ideas for something say under $40(I know it sounds cheap but I'm a kid so I don't have gobbs of money to spend). I also feel bad if I don't get him anything so its a tough decisions. Any Help would be greatly apreciated.

 

How about a gift certificate to the "Ford Collection Store" on the internet? That way he could go online himself and get some cool Ford logo merchandise or gadget for his truck as he pleased!

 

Nice Idea but he wouldn't do that.....Thats the bad part all girft cards would go to waste. I can't really get him car detailing things because I would end up using them....I guese I could do that but thats selfish.

 

Then my only advice would be the two "universal" gifts -- liquor and hookers!

 

Well I know your joking but my Parents are still together and I'm under the age...besides the old man has a fridge full of Busch Light downstairs in the fridge.

 

What you don't have in $$ maybe you can make up in your time.

TAKE him somewhere, spend a little quality time with him, then you can decide TOGETHER how to spend whatever you have to spend. Maybe go to a Ford Dealership if they have anything he likes around there, just go window shopping somewhere, buy him lunch, buy him a special keyfob that means something to the two of you. Wash and wax his truck TOGETHER.

Ask him what HE would like to do? Dads can be a lot easier to really please than you might imagine.

Give him a "gift certificate" in an envelope - "To Dad, redeem this, good for one whole morning or afternoon with ME!"

What you buy him, he may appreciate it but otherwise it may not last long, but what you do WITH him may give him memories to last a lifetime.

 

Now that brought a tear to my eye... Seriously, I'm not joking...

 

Thanks man.That sounds good. I would like to get him one of the Bully Dog exhuast for his truck. I might really save and get him that for christmas. I know that money can't buy everything but it would be nice to get him something really nice. The thing about waxing his truck is we just did it not too long ago so it wouldn't take me half an hour or so to sray wax it. I love washing and waxing my truck and polishing my wheels. I don't care for doing the inside.

 

My dad has been gone for 19 years next month, and I STILL miss him like crazy. I think about the times I was too busy for him, and the dang job I had then that took so much of my time when all he wanted was to hang around with me more than I had "time" for. WHATEVER I was doing isn't even important now, don't even remember what is was, but I would trade all of it for 10 more minutes with my dad.

Not trying to bring any tears, just trying to prevent others from making the same mistakes I did.

When my dad passed, he was holding that keyfob I mention in his hand - I still have it, always will.

If YOUR dad is still alive - DON'T YOU DARE let the day go by tomorrow without at least talking to him. Maybe even try to use that to heal old wounds if there are any.

 

Since we are all kind of sobby now....It almost brings tears to my eyes when I think all how my life will change in 2 short years. In 2 years I will graduate High School. Man I wish I could go back 10 years or so. I don't want to graduate. I don't want to grow up. The future is scary. I will be out on my own in probabkly 4 or so years. I won't even see my friends after High School. I haven't even begun to do the things thats soppose to fun about High School....I guese I should enjoy myself while it lasts. Sorry about your dad.....

 

I hear you on that one, man -- my dad has been gone a shade over 10 years now and I think about him everyday!

My father and I had one of those typical "love-hate" relationships for much of our time together. I remember that when I graduated from college, one of the things I really wanted to do was to buy myself a new Cadillac (my father's dream car that he could never afford) just to show him that I had "made" it.

Now that I am older and wiser, what I'd REALLY like to do is buy my father the Cadillac he had always wanted and give it to him as a gift! It's amazing how time and maturity can change your perspective on things!

Not a day goes by that I don't think about one of the values my father passed down to me -- all this from a man I rebelled against for much of my life. Enjoy yours while he's still around!
