Bought a new truck for my dad - How to surprise him?

[magmanl337]

Hey guys, as some of you know, i got my dad a new marker for when he returns from over-seas (He's in the Navy, hes been over seas for 13 months in the past 2 years) On top of that, my mom bought my dad a brand new 2004 Nissan Frontier XE (Yellow). This is the truck he's had his eye on for quite some time now. This is where you guys come in. We need to devise a way to surprise him with it. This is my plan:


Everyone bought my dad a present, so once we get back from picking him up from the base, my brother and sister give him their gifts. I say "Be right back dad, my present is at a friends house, i kept it there so karl and aneva wont mess with it." At the same time, the truck is parked 2 blocks behind our house, so he wont see it. I drive the truck the front of the housem as karl and aneva are finshed giving him their gifts. I had my dad the 2004 Viking, 68/4500 tank, and Halo B hopper. After he recieves my gift, my mom hands him a tiny box, inside will be the keys to the brand new truck. Thats when he realizes that we bought it, he goes to look outside, and then jumps for joy of a brand new truck.



I need ideas guys!! Or atleast imput on my idea. I still need to find a tiny box that will fit a key nicely. Anyone have any ideas of a small item i can buy at the store thats inexpensive, but the box is nice?

Leave it parked on the sidewalk, and walk by it with your dad. "Whoa, check out that truck." "It's nice son, I'd like one." "Hey, they left the key in the ignition, and the door is open! We could steal it!" "What are you doing?!" Start driving off - "Hurry up dad, get in before the cops come!"



Oh yeah, make a fake title to the vehicle that you "found in the glove box." Put your neighbors name on it. Give your dad the real title, and tell him that you made it on the computer for him - "It's all yours!"

My dad might have some suspiscion that we already bought one. My mom emailed him sayin that we are in debt, since we're building an upstairs. (She said the construction workers are over-charging us) Any more ideas?

Yar, good idea, sounds like it would go pretty smooth for the most part.

Ps. Miscue, clean your pm box, I've been trying to get in contact with you for the trade.

Put a Volvo keychain on the key, and hand it to him all excited

Drive it through the living room wall!

Your idea sounds good though, make sure you get a giant bow for it!

Yea, we asked the dealer about a bow, they said they didnt know where to get one. If i can find extremely wide ribon, and i found a how-to-tie-ribbons article, we can make one.

When you go to pick him up when he comes home park it next to the car he knows you own. (so you'll end up both driving). As you approach the car hand him the new keys and tell him here, why dont you drive.

i like the fake stealing idea...

[Bad_Dog]

your plan sounds the best.. but you cant have him sitting where he can see you pull up...

you could buy him a key rack... and when he looks at you for the ackward present you could say.. "hell If I had as many keys as you do.... I need one of those also"

[TMAXXKING1]

my idea

park the truck where you two go and play together .. the local feild or what ever ... and get your mom to drop you guys off and ... or something like tell him ... your freinds are going to meet up with you .. to go out and do a little 2 on 2 ... get freinds to call and say they arent going to make it ... sit there in the lot for 10 mins... mom pulls up and says wow nice truck over there ... tell him to look in the marker bag ... and poof there is a set of keys to his new truck ....

That gets my vote

Drive by and throw a dummy out the window/out of the bed. Then, after he realizes it's a dummy, come back and give him the truck.
