Tom Brady joked he may have to “kick” his son, Jack, out of the house now that the teenager has his driver’s license.The former NFL quarterback reminisced about his own first car – a temperamental 1967 Dodge – while promoting Hertz’s new online used car marketplace on Wednesday, October 1.
The anecdote surfaced as brady discussed the milestone of Jack obtaining his license, triggering memories of his own early driving experiences. This comes amid a period of adjustment for Brady following his retirement from professional football in February, and as he navigates co-parenting Jack, whose mother is Bridget Moynahan, alongside his three children with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. Brady is now leveraging his public profile to endorse Hertz’s venture into online car sales, aiming to provide consumers with a transparent and reliable pre-owned vehicle purchasing experience.
“It was the 1967 Dodge, and it went very fast,” Brady recalled. ”It didn’t start if it was below 50 degrees in the morning. If my car didn’t start, my mom had to drive me to school, but it was very safe, and it was very slow, and it did the trick. It got me from point A to point B. The stereo didn’t work. The lap belt barely worked. Whatever. We survived.”
The football legend’s lighthearted comment about Jack’s newfound freedom arrived as he highlighted HertzCarSales.com, launched october 1, as a resource for finding quality used cars. The platform allows customers to browse, finance, and purchase vehicles online, complete with inspections and warranties.
“you just go to HertzCarSales.com,” Brady explained. “Everything’s fast, everything’s easy. These cars have undergone inspections. They’ve got warranties. It gives their customers great peace of mind. So check them out if you’re in need of a pre-owned car.”
