Mom Pleas for ‘Cool Cars’ To Surprise Son’s 4th Birthday—Community Delivers – ryan

When Nadja Jovanovic posted on Facebook requesting a sports-car owner to drive by her house for her son’s fourth birthday, she never expected to get such a response.

On March 23, her son Kosta witnessed not one, not two, but 10 supercars outside his Winter Springs, Florida, home.

Kosta’s 31-year-old mom shared her son’s reaction on Instagram (@nadjaa_jovanovic_), and the video quickly went viral, amassing almost 12 million views. Jovanovic told Newsweek about the heartwarming moment that made Kosta’s birthday one to remember.

The mom-of-three, whose other sons can be seen in the clip, said Kosta is car-obsessed, so she decided to try her luck and write a Facebook plea for a Lamborghini, McLaren, or Porsche owner to offer 15 minutes of their time for the young boy to see their car up close.

“I thought one or two cars would show up,” Jovanovic told Newsweek. “But a local car enthusiast called Mike organized it and surprised us with the police-escorted luxury car parade.

“They not only let Kosta and his brothers, Relja, 7, and Lav, 5, see the cars, but also get up close, touch, sit in, and rev the engines—it was just the sweetest thing!”

The video, posted on March 24—Kosta’s birthday—shows the cars lined up outside of their home. The text layered over highlights how she posted on Facebook asking someone with a “cool car” to come by but the community showed up.

During the clip, the young boys appear to be speechless before they eagerly walk over to take a closer look.

“The video literally shows our genuine, first shocked reactions to everything,” Jovanovic told Newsweek.

“Mike led the way in his beautiful white Porsche, followed by our entire street filled with more Porsche 911s, Audi R8s, Mercedes-AMG GTs, BMW M4s—it was just insane.

“The kids could simply not believe that everyone was there for little Kosta and them. My car-loving husband was also in shock,” Jovanovic added.

“I was so emotional for the entire morning. Seeing my kids’ reactions to everything was just incredibly heartwarming.

“All the people that came out with their cars, with big smiles on their faces, just to make a little stranger happy—I was truly overwhelmed. I cannot thank everyone enough,” Jovanovic said.

The kind gesture has been a huge hit online, gathering more than 1.5 million likes and over 13,000 comments.

“All these men were these boys. They are living their own dream, making these boys’ dreams come true,” posted one user, and another wrote: “Men are just older boys. This is so sweet.”

“Everyone is praising the cars, but let’s not forget Mom who had the genius idea and put it into action to make her child happy,” added a third commenter.

Jovanovic said: “This has turned into something way bigger than just my son’s birthday.

“We saw firsthand that kindness still exists in this world. People are good,” the mom added.
