I did something similar with the oldest of my 4 daughters. I gave each daughter their first car. I gave my oldest daughter a really nice 1971 Ford Maverick Grabber that had low miles. She kept complaining that she hated that car because her friends disliked it. So, I took it away from her and she had to take a bus to school. I took the '71 Maverick Grabber, to my shop, and fully revamped it with a Ford 351 HO crate engine, repainted it, installed front and rear spoilers, disc brakes, and rear window sports slats. Magnum 500 15x7 wheels and I removed all Maverick emblems with Shelby Cobra snake emblems. 1965 Thunderbird sequential taillights also. One afternoon, I picked her up from school and nearly scared the crap out of her. She said that she wished that was her car, I told her to look at the car's registration because it was the car that she had rejected. 35 years later, she still has that '71 Ford Maverick Grabber and she maintains it herself.

Damn Kelley's a trip, good lesson for the kid she's obviously spoiled! I grew up being driven around in my parents 20+ old rusted out clunkers. It truly makes me appreciative of my now 3year old truck and 5year old car both I bought brand new. Growing up like that truly humbles a person and makes people like me take care of their nicer things in life.

That's right mom. It keeps their egos grounded.

Parenting 101.....how awesome was this

Awesome vid Kelley! Grew up watching you and your dad, glad y’all allow us to continue to follow the great Earnhardt family

love it!!!! Earnhardt's keeping their kids grounded! wtg!

That is something I think Dale sr would pull

LoL 😁 @ the Earnhardt way, as well as I bet we won't complain about riding in the Suburban again! HA!

Kelley, like her mom Brenda, is an amazing lady/mom. Teach her children by example experience.

My wife and I sat at a restaurant table beside Kelly and a young lady who seemed to be her daughter just a few weeks ago. Seeing this video is a good reminder that Kelly is a mom first. I believe Dale Sr. may not have been the perfect father (early on) but he was better than he sometimes gets credit for. My mother always said, "A hard lesson is the best lesson." Kids have it way too easy these days. Some old-fashioned "Earnhardt Way" might do them all some good! Entitlement results in failure. Earning, on the other hand, is so much more rewarding. Sr. understood that much about parenting for sure. Good job, Kelly! Never let your guard down!

When I was a teenager I had a car similar to that...a CRX. Girls loved it.

Nice job Mom!

The short clip of the poor CRX hitting rev limiter was hilarious 😂

I just saw this. Lord I love you guys. Kelly you're the best!

This is so awesome... #parentinggoals

SMART KID,"doing this to embarrass me,"that is hilariious! 😁🎶🎶🎶👍

I did that with my daughter. Lol. In the 90's. Mine was a beat up V.W. prank.

Love it. so cool to she her that way. got to be glad to have what ever you got.

And mom drives it like a boss💪 this is something my momma would have done to my sister😂 😂😂

I love it!!!!! Excellent job!!!!

I love watchin this!!!

My Dad put me through the same BS! My emotions going from hate to tears of joy, (PTSD) but his reasons were good. Motivation by FEAR versus TODAY’S “Everyone gets a Trophy’” Props to Kelly 🙏

Please keep doing videos like this. Very funny! Lol

Oh God I love it. I started watching nascar because of Dale. Was a huge Jr fan too. The more Earnhardt videos I watch the more I become a fan of the entire family and see that they are just a down to earth group of people. Love mamaw Martha and the fact that Brenda slapped Theresa. Yes.

Modesty is a hard lesson to learn, but is necessary trait, good mothering Kelly.

Nice job Kelly 👍👍

it is funny when her kid had doing a Earnhardt way i well like to seeing her into the same 1989 car her dad made Kelley to owner ship of it like her had to doing it now, it well be bad too,

I love this!!!!!

Too funny, I have had a few of those 88-91 Civic hatchbacks. Believe it or not when you modify it the right way they can be nice looking and extremely fast.

GEAR JAMMER !!! I love it.

I could see Sr. doing that same thing....nice move Kelley!

This is amazing 😂

This video is hilarious!!

I love it

My daughter wanted a new Honda for her 16th Birthday. She got a used 2 door Chevy cavalier I got for $800. I made sure it had new tires and was in good shape. I told her if she drove it for a year with no tickets and no wrecks no issues. I would buy her a new Honda. She could not pick up anyone and had to drive it to school and any practices she had. About 6 months in she went and picked up her boyfriend. And than took out 100'ft of chain link fence as she slide off a wet road. She than had to ride a bus until I was no longer mad. That took 6 months. Than I told her she would now get a Honda. I gave her the keys and she went outside all excited. Thinking she was getting her dream car. What she got was my wife 200K mile Honda . I bought my wife a new Honda that happened to be my daughters dream car.

Good going Kelly. I think she will appreciate the Suburban a lot more now.

LOL you got miss Thang 😂

OMG!!!!! That was priceless

If someone told me that they'd pick me up in a Suburban, I'd be happy. I learned to drive on my mom's "11 Suburban. Those trucks are nice.

LOL that was hilarious!

hahahaha ! so glad my oldies never got this idea lol

This family is the best I had the honor to be in the pits at Daytona in I think 93 and seen there dad but didn't get the nerve up to go up and say hello

actually witnessing a earnhardt driving a honda win!!!!! lol

Who would complain about a suburban. Since 1999-2000 suburbans or Tahoe’s are the cool cars of the middle class upper class. I mean what the hell did she expect to ride in? A G wagon

That hatchback was my first car I had the Si tho🤘

In Texas we call that good bullsh..!

❤️JRM 360

Lesson learned 🤣🤣

I don't think Kennedy is easy to prank. Stay strong girl 💪👊

Mom for the win

That 🚗 making.Me laugh

this is so funny

leave it to kelley 😂

I had decent cars and trucks was never a problem. But me picking up my 6 year old daughter on my chopper 😮 holy chit you would have thought it was the end of the world. Id get thumbs up from the much younger fathers. I was 45 when most were 25-30 but the moms lost their minds DSS calls cops u name it. A guy did video us rolling down the highway my kids friends dad. Tiny kid little helmet, Dora backpack, hanging on my waist 😂 i didn't speed or drive dangerously. But guess it Looked funny on that custom bike loud as hell cruising down the road. 😂we always had a saying me a single Dad, and my baby... srcrew em! They cant eat us 😂

I bet every Earnhardt can drive a stick before they can walk.

Lol now that's a great way to teach a lesson.

Dale Sr move.lol

Lol I used to mess with my nephew when he was that age but he. Reversed it on me he pranks me now revenge is awful lol 😆

That is awesome. She said it’s hot air why do u even have it on hahaha

sick EF hatch bro

I’d love to have that car..wouldn’t care about the bald tires or no A/C ..

hahahahaaaa. shooot, Give me a suburban I'd be a happy dude.

I thought military school was coming….😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Hey at least she can drive a standard transmission good on her.

Cool we have drove junkers.

That is a nice car

Poor kid I know how she feels,my dad had a old prisoner transport van looked like a UPS truck I called it the putz mobile soon as he died I GAVE IT AWAY

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

LOL!!!

why with the Earnhardt way is about and bet sr had ways of doing his 2 kids ,Kelley and her little brother had to doing stuff now, like with kids of them own now, and seeing it now , when sr had his car selling inc and bet jr well be the same too,

hay Kelly why not get the old car form you past and made her put her into it now, like you dad doing to you back into the day when Dale SR had made you doing too,

I wonder if anyone in the Earnhardt family drives something other than a GM product.

🤣🤣🤣

why not doing Kelley sill had the old car her dad made her to keeping it and her kid get it now why she had to run into it like her mom had to doing it

😀🤣🤣🤣

she got rekt

😄

Broke people drive cars like this. They have chase cars and cameras as well. Lesson learned!

great job i would love your suburban if your kids don't like it i mean i drive a 98 now i could use an update i wouldn't cry about it

Null

WTF

Burn

OH, OH, OH; Kennedy???? WHAT??? Perhaps you should see the most controversial VID on the Earnhardt's..SEE whom Clyde H Earnhardt jr was and What happened to HIM...Call his widowed wife---Cheryl and see how many weeks I stayed with them when their children were but 4 and 6=thats David and Christin. Clyde needed me in Charlotte and it took me days/weeks?? to get my own place..ARMY(Rangers) can get that Close that they can Share their lives. SEE-what My relationship to Kennedy's JFK/RFK---therefore Clyde's relationship Also---Did I not say something about Sharing??? DO You//-share?????

bet her dad had made her to not took the cool cars form the car place when she was teen , if it was me Robert Krause well trying to find her former car she made to took into school back then too, 🤮🤢🤓😎🥸🧐🌚🌝🌞🌘🌗🌑🌒

LOL!!!
