There is nothing more wonderful than a person who knows how to make their friends happy, especially when they least anticipate it. It is even more overwhelming when this person is the last person you expect. In the case of Blake Shelton, Jay Leno, host of Jay Leno's Garage, surprised the country singer with a drive in Elvis Presley's pick-up truck. The artist had the time of his life.

On the May 20th episode of Jay Leno's Garage, Leno had Blake Shelton driving the late Elvis Presley's vintage GMC truck. They both enjoyed a joyride with Leno in the passenger's seat.

Some people think that only people especially close to you, like your family members or close friends, know what would make you happy. But that's not always the case. Jay Leno's Garage's namesake host knew what would be the best surprise for Blake Shelton. He knew that Shelton would be moved by experiencing one of the cars of the late King of Rock and Roll.

It might seem like an ordinary scene similar to any previous episodes of this television series. Two celebrities chatting in a vintage vehicle. But in this case, it is far more than that when Shelton realizes that the truck he is driving is not just an ordinary vintage truck, but Elvis Presley's truck.

Leno had hidden the truth from the singer when they met, and chose to disclose it while Shelton was already behind the wheel. The People shares the Wednesday sneak peek footage that shows the episode of the Jay Leno's Garage Television Series.

In the footage, the host discloses the truth about the truck that Shelton is driving. The country singer is astonished when he knows that the car belonged to the Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and roll. Blake Shelton gets emotional when Leno says that they had it shipped just so that Shelton could drive and feel it.

It's clear that the surprise was long planned for him. Being a singer, he must have once wanted to sample the life the legendary King had lived. Now, Shelton is in the King's truck. Shelton can hardly believe Leno's words. He can't see the King of Rock and Roll as a pick-up driving guy. He would imagine him moving around in a more luxurious car like an exclusive pink Cadillac.

But Leno explains that the King did drive the truck. He adds that Elvis did own several cars. Of course, nobody would expect him to have had only one. But, Shelton is still happy about sitting in the same seat as Elvis once did.

People always think breaking a few small rules can be fun. Leno encourages Shelton to test some limits while driving the vintage truck. He asks him to disobey traffic lights. Leno jokingly says that while driving Elvis's truck, you acquire some superpowers, like disobeying a few red lights.

This story shows that even small things can make people happy. Just like Leno, you could surprise a friend with a small but important to them gesture. If you read the story to the end, leaving your opinion would be so beneficial.
