A New Ride for Mama B

Christmas came early for Kelly Bates, in the form of a very large gift. About five years ago, Katie totaled Kelly's car, and she decided to buy her mom an even nicer replacement and give it to her as an early Christmas present. Katie and Travis Clark found what they considered to be the perfect ride for Mama B, but it wasn't local. Travis had to hop on a plane to go pick it up and then drive it through the night back to East Tennessee. If you would like to see Gil and Kelly's reactions to the gift, check out the Clarks' most recent YouTube video.

  2. Very sweet of Katie and Travis. Congratulations Mama B!!!

    Merry Christmas to all of the Bates family. Loved their show and now watching some of the children’s YouTube videos.

  3. How sweet and thoughtful of Katie. Mama B deserves this. She’s such a kind and giving woman and obviously taught her children to be the same way.

  4. Didn't they have insurance on the totaled car? You'd at least get something towards a new car from that. Kids don't have to wait 5 years to get one for you. That's what insurance is for.

  5. How many other cars do they have sitting on that property?

  6. LOL - Here's me about to get rid of a 7 year old vehicle with 15,000 miles on it because I think it's gotten too old. There's Kelly thrilled to get a 5 year old vehicle with 30-something thousand miles on it. One of us is crazy?

  7. Sounds like it's really a present from Travis, since he had to fly to get it, and then drive it home.

  8. Glad she's happy but I can't stand used cars. Bought one once and never again. I like them new so I know exactly what happens to them and how they're maintained. Always sell mine to friends who seem happy to get them, but I'm ready to get rid of them by that point. They can have them. I like new.

  10. Why does Mama B “deserve” this? The Bates, all of them, are financially well off. If Kelly Jo wanted her “dream car” she could have purchased it herself. This looks like a publicity stunt.
