Teen Surprised With New Car While Returning From Softball Game

A teen softball player fought back tears of happiness on her team bus when returning from a game and spotting her family waiting to surprise her with a new car. Ella Coburn, 17, from Sharpsburg, Georgia, had driven a 25-year-old truck during her first year of driving, never complaining and proving to her parents she was extremely humble and a responsible driver. So, her parents – dad Bret and mom Kristi – planned to surprise her with an improved vehicle on her 17th birthday, only for there to be a slight issue with the timing. Ella's softball team had a game rained out a few weeks prior, meaning she’d be playing the day of the surprise – but Kristi saw this as an opportunity. Having hid her daughter's Chevrolet Trax for more than a week, Kristi, 38, moved the vehicle to Ella's school's parking lot, where she waited with Ella's friends and family. On September 20, as the bus for Ella's North Gate High School team, the Varsity Lady Vikings, was approaching the parking lot, Ella looked out the window and caught an early glimpse of her big surprise.
