- "Gasoline is the most delicious food there is"
- ―Long Drive Dad giving his son life advice, shortly before crashing the car into a telephone pole
The Long Drive Dad or Rear-view Mirror Guy, is the protagonist of The Long Drive, which Jerma streamed on September 24, 2020. He reappeared in Jermania 2020.
History[]
The Long Drive[]
The Long Drive Dad is a survivor of the apocalypse, and spends his days driving around in the desert, drinking gasoline, pissing, and killing mutant rabbits.
He had a son, who may or may not have actually been a mirage. This is supported by the fact, that we never saw anything, when he turned to speak to him besides a barrel of gasoline. Over all he showed to have a strong addiction to gasoline by telling his "son" to drink it, as well as referring it to be the best food ever. The gasoline could be the reason for his delusional mirages. Contrary to that Jerma stated in Jermania 2020, that Long Drive Dad "has kids on his own".
He eventually abandoned his son in the desert after repairing a moped. Besides his son, he took a dead rabbit as a companion, nicknaming it "Wilson". This could be a hint, that "son" may only be the name he gave to the barrel of gasoline in the back seat, which still stands in opposite to Jerma's statement.
While driving cars around, he usually looks into the rear-view mirror instead of looking at the street. He probably does that, because he just loves looking at himself. Sometimes this leads to him crashing his car and having to walk through the desert with only his one shot rifle equipped.
Jermania 2020[]
Rumble 1[]
Long Drive Dad gave his Wrestling Debut at Jermania 2020. He entered the first Rumble as Contastant #10 shortly after Pac-Man and immediately went for Cheers To You, who he eliminated within a minute. After that he got teamed up on by Pac-Man and Gaben, but could hold himself in the ring. He still couldn't catch a breath, because he got instantly taken on by Pac-Man with a series of attacks. When Pac-Man was about to eliminate him, Travis Touchdown attacked and distracted Pac-Man in the last second, saving him. This gave Long Drive Dad enough time to get back into the ring. He came back in simultaneously to Fortnite Jimmy throwing The Pencil out of the Ring, which triggered a meltdown in Long Drive Dad. He immediately grabbed the Teenager and although he failed to eliminate him, threw him around, repeatedly punching his head and stomping on him. Fortnite Jimmy was able to get a reverse at Long Drive Dad and break free, who then got almost eliminated again, but this time by Travis Touchdown, who saved him earlier. Both went into exchanging punches, when Gaben ended Long Drive Dad's stay in the match.
Appearance[]
In The Long Drive he appeared as a young man with black hair and a mustache. He had weirdly long arms and hands when looked at from the front, possibly having Mr. Fantastic-esque stretch powers. This is not the case when in first person so he seems to have a different view on himself than others. In Jermania 2020 he resembled his first appearece, but all his limb had normal proportions, which would support the Mr. Fantastic-theory above.
He always wears a blue shirt and brown pants, similar to Jon Arbuckle.
