A couple has been driving a giant giraffe in their car for 15 years

A Colorado couple has been driving their convertible with a giant giraffe in the back seat for 15 years.

Two Americans bought the giant stuffed animal for their daughter, but when they saw the animal next to their car, they got the idea to install it inside, CNN reported.

After a walk around the neighborhood, they were delighted to see the smiles of their young neighbors.

“I tried once and I succeeded,” says Larry McNabb. I told my wife I would never drive again without a giraffe in the car.

According to Sally McNabb, this practice ensures that they drive safely as they are easily spotted.

“You know if you cut somebody off it’s somebody with a giraffe in a red car they’re going to remember,” he said.

Fifteen years later, their goal is to continue making their neighborhood a better place, one car ride at a time.

“Some people have a talent for singing, some people have a talent for the arts, and for others it’s a talent for entertaining people with a giant giraffe on the back of a convertible,” McNabb said.
