Road Trip Dad Hats

Dave Barry wrote it down in 1991: when Dad is driving, he never stops for anything, and getting out of the car to look at an attraction is a foolish waste of valuable vacation time. The joke has lived in the family car ever since. John Crist's road trip skit has the dad announce no more liquids so there are no bathroom stops, admit to following tractor-trailers closely to draft for the gas mileage, and insist the family just needs to make better time. Drivers on forums even describe beating the GPS arrival time as a game of its own, and Griswold-style family road trip tees are still an active category on Etsy. These Road Trip Dad hats put the driver's own voice on the front: MAKING GOOD TIME, DRIVER PICKS THE MUSIC, bathroom breaks at my discretion, drafting behind semi trucks for the mileage, and a GPS beaten by eleven minutes. Every line is the wearer owning the bit rather than teasing someone in the back seat. This page is the car and the drive itself, a different thing from Airport Dad, which covers arriving early for flights. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Give one to the dad who is awake at 4am with the keys already in his hand.
