Exactly what I thought! My parents wouldn't even let me drive their beat up 88 Camry when I first got my license.

Under parental supervision, I did some driving myself at that age (and about at those speeds)...but not in the U.S. I grew up in an Army/Diplomatic family, and spent most of my young years overseas.

^This makes sense on a closed course, or parking lot. But I am not seeing parents in the car with the kids. I see the kids driving around the block alone. Which is IMO asking for trouble, fast dangerous trouble.

But probably not with an exotic supercar like that Ferrari! Yeah, I also got to drive my dads '75 Ford truck but I don't think that compares...

Judging from the stripe that is a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, the limited production, track prepared car.

Cool. He probably drive better than most adults on the road today. It's amazing how nice that exhausts sounds even at parking lot crawl speeds.

News of the stunt first broke a few weeks ago when video, filmed by the father, Mohammed Nisham, went viral on YouTube. ...
