Man, great video. Truly awesome to see how happy it made him. Very touching. I am sorry about your loss, he seemed like a great guy just from the small video. Seems like that characteristic was passed down to the rest of his family. Thanks for sharing such an intimate moment with the rest of us.

This is a video that my family and I made a couple years ago of us surprising my dad with his dream car.... A 350z. He had been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, and was basically given his death sentence. My dad really wanted a 350z but didn't want to put the financial burden on us, so we did it for him. I contacted a car dealer buddy of mine and told him what we needed and he worked non stop for 2 days to find his dream car, and shipped it to us. Please read the description of the video before watching the video. And before anyone rags on the car for being automatic, that is all he could drive do to the fact that the cancer spread to his liver and he couldn't shift due to the swelling. He only lived a couple more months after this video was shot. He would have wanted me to share it with fellow Z lovers. Please enjoy. And please excuse my wife. She was videoing and couldn't contain her words. (holy cow, holy moley...)She can afford to sound a little silly, that is me and her in the bottom pic.

I to lost a father from cancer. It really hit home watching this video, it made me shed a few tears and smile a few times that this is how they left us. with a understanding that death is unevitable and his family loved him. To be able to spend time and give him what he wished for is nothing less than perfect. May that always be the most watched 350z video in history!
