HGTV star Dave Marrs is putting his patience to the test as he tackles a challenge that many parents face with their kids. The “Fixer to Fabulous” star is teaching his twin boys how to drive!
Dave Marrs Is Teaching His Sons How to Drive
Marrs is playing driving instructor these days, as seen in a video of an early lesson with his twin boys.
On July 7, Marrs took to Instagram to share a quick clip of him in the passenger seat while one of his kids was driving. A brave dad, for sure!
“Teaching my boys how to drive a stick on a 50 year old jeep is a true test of patience!” he wrote in the caption.
The HGTV star continued, “They did alright for a first shot, and they still have another year before they step up from the permit, but I want them to know how to drive a vehicle with no automatic, ac, or power steering.”
Marrs added, “One was more worried about his hair and one just loves to grind those gears, but all in all it was a successful afternoon.”
Fans Applaud Dave Marrs for Teaching Kids to Drive Stick
Fans lit up the comments section, praising Dave for putting the boys through their paces with a stick shift.
“Learning how to drive for the first time and in a stick shift is the BEST way to learn!! That’s how I was taught,” one commenter shared. “Stick before automatic, because as my Dad said, if there’s ever an emergency and the only car available to drive is a stick, you HAVE to know how to drive it! So happy to see this.”
Another fan wrote, “That’s great Dave! I used to be a driver’s license examiner, and the ones that could drive a stick were always the best drivers!”
“Good job Dave! Where’s the other video?” one commenter asked.
Marrs responded, “The other one didn’t turn out. I kind of lost it when he started messing with his hair.”
When one fan asked, “Can I sign up for lessons?” he responded, “Absolutely.”
Others wrote, “You are great, Dad, and setting standards! They will never forget these days!” and “Good for them and good on you for having the patience.”
Many people were surprised Dave and Jenny’s boys have reached this big milestone. When one fan noted, “Can’t believe your boys are driving!!” Dave responded, “It’s crazy.”
