  • We teamed up with a caring son who wanted to fulfil his father’s lifelong dream. Starring: a blind car mechanic, pure love - and a green Mercedes-AMG GT R. Subscribe now: czcams.com/users/subscription_c...
    Bart Hickey has been a car mechanic for 30 years. He runs his own workshop in Alsip, Illinois (USA). But he has never driven a car himself - because Bart Hickey is blind. He has one big dream: to step on the gas. Feel the rush of speed. Be free. His son Brendan and Mercedes-Benz make this dream come true. “My Father’s Dream”, an authentic, touching documentary, tells their story.

      lowda9 If you want to see it that way, that's fine. What I see in this video is a father who throughout his life has given the best for his family even with a disability. Be Mercedes Benz, BMW, Porsche, or another. They gave him the opportunity to fulfill his dream.

    • @DARTHMPK
      @DARTHMPK Před 3 lety +1

      @lowda9 Interesting take. I think it should be seen as a win-win. Both the blind man and family gained through an experience and free promo, and mercedes benz gains by "tricking" people into thinking they're selfless. (Obviously I don't see it as a trick, its a win-win, sometimes people do nice things for other people just because it makes themselves feel good, same shit basically).

    Words can’t describe my awe to find this in my suggested videos. My respect for Mercedes and the people behind this are immeasurable. As someone who constantly tweaked computers and electronics to suit my nearly completely blind father in his last years, it’s so heartwarming to see this. The look on his face driving reminded me so much of my dad, when I would build small computers hooked up to the TV with Voice assistance on. When his dad took off in that car it felt like the first time dad said “play Perry Mason” to the PC/TV.

      @@MercedesBenz Wow, thank you for the unexpected reply. I am humbled. The video really moved me as a person, not just a petrol head and MB owner. I have owned a 2005 SLK 350 manual for 3 years. It is on 60 000 miles and is cared for a lot. Tomorrow it is being treated to some underseal and a new cat back exhaust. I absolutely love the car. Before that I have owned MB cars. I love how they drive and are designed. I have owned many brands, but Mercedes-Benz are my favourites. I like the idea of an R170 SLK32 AMG, but for now my R171 350 is just right being a manual model. The V6 sound is subtle, yet under load will echo. I cannot wait to hear the new exhaust and to return the car to showroom condition. It is a beautiful car, and much loved. I am lucky to own such a wondeful and well made car.
