kids these days ----------- SAND LAKE, Mich. - A boy drove his mother’s car to a video store in the middle of the night, police said — and he’s all of 4 years old. Even though he was unable to reach the accelerator, the boy managed to put the car in gear and the idling engine provided enough power to take him slowly to the store, a quarter-mile from his home, about 1:30 a.m. Friday, Police Chief Doug Heugel said. Finding the store closed, the youngster began a slow trip home. Weaving and with its headlights off, the car got the attention of police Sgt. Jay Osga, who initially thought he was following a driverless car that had taken off after being left running at a gas pump. The car turned into the boy’s apartment complex and struck two parked cars, then backed up and struck Osga’s police car. That’s when Osga discovered the boy inside. “He knew how to go from forward to reverse,” Osga said Monday. “The mother said she taught him how to drive by letting him sit on her lap and steer.” No charges will be filed against the boy or his mother, Heugel said. “He’s 4 years old. His mom didn’t even know he was up,” Heugel told The Grand Rapids Press. “I don’t think he even realizes what he did.” © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

I read about this on Feb 7 (10 days ago) In anycase, thats one smart kid I wonder what he wanted to rent.
work? heh, yea i read about it at work, sombody posted it in our internal chat room, funny stuff. Btw, ABC13.com's Bizarre News section has some messed up stories on there....
hopefully he was renting a defensive driving video or something at least.. already had his first wreck at age 4!
at a young age i drove a stingray into a ditch. i didnt get to drive my stepfathers car for a very very long time after that. but i was older the four though!
I remember as a young child, like 5 or 6 I used to have dreams/nightmares about being in our car at the drivers seats while it was going down the road and having to some how control it while being scared out of my mind... that 4 year olds got some balls...!
He is probably blessed with driving skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills, nunchaku skills, he's probably good with hooking up with chicks, he's got a good bike, and he is probably the only kid in school with a mustache. I know which movie he wanted to rent.
