Girl Finding Out Parents Bought a DeLorean Is the Cutest Thing You'll See Today

Indeed, pull this prank on a mall rat that spends half her time in the makeup shop, and she will probably roll her eyes at the sight of this old piece of junk she wouldn't be caught dead riding in. But if your daughter is the kind of nerd that really loves the Back to the Future trilogy - or just has a very acquired taste in cars and can appreciate the unique design of the DeLorean DMC-12 - then you might get something similar to this.

Kids are wonderful, but even more wonderful are the parents that take advantage of their lack of experience with this world and the difficulty with which the coin drops sometimes. I remember the first time my father came home with a new car: I was so excited I couldn't believe it was ours even though, unlike this girl, I saw him park it, switch off the engine, climb out and lock it with the keys he had in his hands. I just couldn't dare imagine that was the car we were going to use from then on.

This girl's brain probably functioned the same way. Here she was, taking pictures with her father next to a car she absolutely loved, when all of a sudden, the door pops open. Being the good sort, she freaked out and urged her father to close it. When instead he climbed into the car, she had already started picturing her life with a father behind bars, and judging by her reaction, she didn't like it.

You can guess what follows next, but seeing that pure joy is heartwarming nevertheless. Father of the year? More like parents of the year because her mother was in on this as well. Now, the kid may be happy sitting in the front seat, but her excitement might go down a little once she sees where she'll be traveling when the whole family takes the DMC-12 out for a spin.
