The gender-reveal phenomenon is in full effect, with more and more expecting couples raising the bar for fantastic and surprising ways to find out if they're having a boy or a girl. Whether it involves balloons or chopping down a tree, we have seen some wild and amazing displays of creativity.
In the clip below, the gender reveal meets horsepower.
Melissa Vanderstappen gathered a group of loved ones for a gender reveal event back in September 2016. While she was in on the reveal, she wasn't quite sure exactly what her husband had planned.
The event was set in an open parking lot, with a clear blue sky setting the scene.
A camera catches the moment when a bright-yellow classic car rolls up with Melissa's husband behind the wheel. There are a few moments of silent anticipation until he begins to burn out the tires of the car, the engine roaring.
To everyone's surprise, the vehicle unleashes bright-pink smoke!
This would normally signify that the baby will be a girl, but the more the car burns out, the pink smoke starts turning dark purple.
Then, blue smoke joins with the pink!
Melissa immediately begins to cheer and clap, unable to contain herself. Her husband speeds forward and comes to a stop again. At the request of the guests, he burns the tires out one more time as the camera clearly catches the blue smoke mixing with the pink.
One of the guests yells, "So, you're having a unicorn, or a dinosaur, or what?"
In fact, the parents-to-be were having twins, one girl and one boy! After the smoke clears, Melissa and her husband embrace in pure joy!
According to Melissa, her husband had custom blue and pink rubber tires shipped from Australia for the event.
