Even with his creepily time-displaced dad crashing on his couch, Tony’s managed to avoid spending a lot of time around Howard Stark this past month. With 11,000 square feet of mansion to put between them—not to mention a mutual reluctance to acknowledge each other’s right to exist—it isn’t that hard.
So there’s really no surprise that when they finally meet up to take a tour of some of the Stark estate’s more vintage storage holdings, there’s still enough icky, residual tension keeping the two men at a dubious arm’s length from one another.
Maybe Tony figures if he’s going to show off, now’s the time to do it, because he kicks the day off right by pulling his newly-modified Tesla Roadster around front to pick up the old man.
