Single father Brett Winek's 3-year-old son Holden loves the Pixar movie Cars, and particularly loves the main "car-acter" Lightning McQueen.
“Just to give you an example, [Holden] watched Cars 2 yesterday — three times,” Brett told Yahoo Parenting. “McQueen is his favorite character, and he loves Mater, too. He has both of the characters in toy cars and mimics their sayings all the time while playing.

So when Brett purchased a red Mustang, he realized that it was the perfect opportunity to create an awesome Cars surprise for Holden. With the help of Tennessee Tint in Bartlett, Tennessee, Brett transformed his new car into a real-life Lightning McQueen.
The car is complete with lightning decals, and McQueen's racing number 95.
“He lit up so much when we picked up the car,” Winek continued. “He hopped around it and immediately wanted to jump in the driver’s seat!”
With the car transformation costing him a total of $1,200, it's pretty clear Winek gets ALL the cool dad points.
