My mother taught me how to drive when I was 8 years old out in the melon field we had on the farm. The pickup had to be started, put in gear, drive 40 feet, stopped, taken out of gear and shut off. She had to do this about 100 times per day and was happy that I could do it. Boy, was I stoked.

Dad learned what we were doing after a month or so and he wasn’t happy until Mom set him straight. Then he put me on the tractor and taught to work the soil in the orchards. That was fun too. It did get old after several hours a day for a couple of weeks.

Things were different in those days.

Remember the Mercedes commercial with all the kids? One kid says "one day I'm gonna drive this car to Vegas" . 😆

[VTenigma]

That’s a Ferrari.

Was the pickup a DeSoto?

My father in law was born in 1917 on a ranch. I am pretty sure he was driving by 5 because he was smoking by 7. Life was different.

Lambos are overrated... A Vette... Or a Ford GT...

My father had a severe heart attack when I was 11. My mother refused to learn how to drive so my father reasoned that I would be the driver if he soon passed (he didn’t). Anyway, I started by driving on country roads during our Sunday drives and graduated to town driving. It finally became legal when I turned 14 and got a Texas license—things were different back then. Fortunately, I was never stopped by the law. :o)

He’s dressed up like a gangster! Perfect fit for CA!

“He’s got his seat laid back”

With his mind on his money and his money on his mind.

“That kid really has a can-do attitude. The Fauci-types must be figuring-out some way to stifle that.”

Double his Ritalin dose.

If you see some of those gear for video game racing, they are more expensive than my first car!

Someone felt sorry for him and gave him a ride in his Lamborghini. I guess he’s about to turn 6. A pic shows him sitting on a woman’s lap in the passenger seat during his ride. He seems a bit chubby. That plus sitting on the edge of the seat may have helped him reach the pedals.

During the solo ride he did, he was doing about 32 mph—on a highway.

“’He was sitting on the front edge of his seat so he could reach the brake pedal.’ “
Trooper Morgan suspects the child may have secretly driven on the roads before.

‘I hope by the time he gets a Lambo, he’ll be able to handle faster than 32,’ Morgan joked.
