Apparently this little guy doesn’t take no for an answer
the funniest thing is he was going to do it all on 3 dollars … Now id of went to Walmart and found the hot wheels version for him after this …
Lamborghini has great advertisement potential here. Should offer this kid a discount in 20 years.
That’s extraordinarily impressive. I’m curious as to the make and model of the family car, and how he managed to reach the pedals. Or maybe he just put it in drive and steered, and it rolled w/o gas pedal involvement? Also curious about how the kid brought it to a halt when pulled over.
According to CNN, he was perched on the edge of the seat so he could reach the pedals. And there’s video of him driving.

My friend in Utah says a Lando owner has offered to give him a ride.
I’m amazed that he drove that far without hitting anything.
Age 05: Steal Mom’s car.
Age 10: Steal Mom’s house.
Age 15: Steal Mom’s savings.
Age 20: Aces law school.
Well, to be fair, he probably tried ordering it online and having it delivered first.
Lando drives a Falcon. A Millenium Falcon.
Lando drives a McClaren.
He got a ride. And was grounded. (How do you ground a 5 year old - they’re already grounded, because they’re 5.)

I saw a photo of him (with face blurred out). He seems to be a good-sized kid. I know my own kids couldn’t have reached the pedals at age five, even if perched on the edge of the seat.
I’m wondering how many five-year-olds even know what a Lamborghini is.
And how did he know there were Lamborghini dealers in California?
The article said his (mean) mom refused to buy him one. She probably said, “oh, they don’t sell them here - you have to be a rich movie star in California to buy one.” Poof - off to CA.

Children’s libber supreme.
I saw him on the news getting his Lamborghini ride. He is a big boy. Looked at least 10yo. But I suppose his Mother knows his age.
My Son started the lawn mower when he was 4yo. We knew to keep keys and things put up, but he was precocious and extra motivated.
He wanted to mow like nobodies business. Until he became a teen. Then he hated it. Punishments are best served cold.
My brother and I are 50-somethings, and we laugh to this day about how eager we were to run the lawn mower as kids. Man, were we idiots.
And tying back into the thread - when he was 6, my brother was utterly convinced he could fly a airplane. If he’d known where Bluegrass Airport was, he might have tried to give it a shot.
Yeah, he really looked about 9 to me.
My brother and I used to sneak out my Dad’s car when were like 10 or 11. But 5!!!
FWIW, at five I could tell you the difference between a Lamborghini, Bizarrini, Maserati, DeThomaso Pantera and a Ferrari. I really like(d) cars.
