A devoted single mom was looking for a budget friendly way to give her son a special birthday—so she reached out on Facebook to the local car community and their response left her speechless.
Mikayla Freeman was hoping to urge a few motor enthusiasts to form ‘a car parade’ down their street near Nashville.
“My son’s 8th birthday is Sunday, he’s a MAJOR car guy,” she wrote.
The plea was shared 550 times and Mikayla’s wish was granted.
Within two days, it sparked the generosity of 83 drivers who showed up at noon on a recent Sunday.
With large mylar balloons in the front yard, Tristan was brought outside to witness an endless stream of gorgeous cars tooting their horns and passing birthday wishes and gifts through the open windows.
Over 100 strangers showed up in the LaVergne neighborhood to surprise the 8-year-old. Especially welcome were those driving Challenger Hellcats and McLarens, Tristan’s two favorite cars.
A car videographer Tia May wanted to shine a positive light on the car community, so she filmed the event (see the video below).

“I reignited my passion for cars and started to connect heavily with the car community—that’s when everything changed. I met a ton of amazing people, many of which now feel like family.”
