Many people take everyday tasks for granted because there is nothing stopping us from doing them. Unfortunately, not all of us are so lucky in life.
Bart Hickey was born blind, but this did not stop him from doing what he wanted to do with his life. He always wanted to be a mechanic, because he only liked good cars, but he had another great desire.
His son Brendan was well aware of his father’s wish. That is why he teamed up with Mercedes-Benz and together they helped realize his father Bart’s dreams.
Although Bart has been a mechanic for 30 years despite being blind, he has never driven a car in his life. He always wanted to one day sit in a prestigious sports car and enjoy driving. Now grant her her wish!
Mercedes-Benz has prepared a surprise for a blind mechanic in Seeb, Illinois, and he won’t be forgotten for long. In the middle of the desert, sitting in his Mercedes-AMG GT R, he drove completely alone in the presence of his son Bart. They have exceeded the speed of 125 mph (200 km/h), and the sincere satisfaction of a blind father will make your day even better!
