Default Sign him up for the next DE

Someone sign up this kid for the next DE event: https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/05/us/5-...rnd/index.html

Of course, the kid would get more respect around here had he been heading to CA to buy a Porsche. :-)

Thankfully it ends as a funny story. Although he was driving not much worse than a typical highway driver.

Love that he was going to buy a Lambo! Kid knows what he wants!

He likely was weaving because he couldn't see over the dash. I've seen full fledged adults here in Texas driving a lot worse than that.

"Kid you need more than 3 bucks to buy a Lambo." "But that's all I have and I drove here from Utah!!! You can have my mom's SUV too!!"

"Once he was pulled over, the child told the trooper he had intended to drive to California to purchase a Lamborghini for himself.
He had $3.
The starting price for a new Lamborghini is around $200,000."

What Lambo can you get new for $200K??

At least he has ambitions and goals. A lot more than can be said for many.

LOL, I know.

The article said a "new" one.

I bet that when this mess is all finally said and done, those with cash on hand will be able to find incredible deals on "new" exotics.

Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

My boys turned 17 today and can't get their license because road tests are "on hold" and DMV isn't really operating normally, if at all. Feel bad for them.

My girls turn 16 next week, and they can't even get their permits. Not a happy time in the Dgrobs household.

Psst....The girls are already driving anyway with myself or my wife in the car, but the boys, I can't let them go drive on public roads by themselves for fear of getting pulled over and not having a "real" NJ license.

"This virus is taking it's toll in many ways" is all I can tell the kids at this point. Sucks.

It's Stradman! He's from Utah, likes Lambos, and is about that age...
