It would have been funny if after the kid pulled the car in the whole back end was covered in burnt rubber.

[netshop01]

@Warblade118 I am even happier he didn't. :)

[subliminalcreativ]

look at that huge grin on his face. he probably went to the beach, but instead of the car show he went to get some head from a cougar......hahahahaha

[kingofthe40oz]

[milldabeast519]

@BayouBluesMan GEAREN!

[BayouBluesMan]

the minute that kid was far enough from dad's eyes ripped the living shit outa of that car

[Lawrence818]

This is like that trick they do with dogs were they put a tasty treat on his nose and tell him not to eat it! Sadly I would have been like the parking attendants on Ferris Bullers day off!

[ClavisqueFC]

@netshop01 to be honest i was thinking your son gonna burn the shelby out too

[MrThecanuck]

Nice car, nice kid and Dad of the year. Thanks. Oh yea, are those B.C. plates.

[HBOCHS]

Good on ya, Dad! You should be proud that you have a son you can trust. Cautiously trust, I understand, but that's a great thing to see. Maybe you guys should build another car together for him?

[AllForTheGame]

[cgpilk]

Best dad ever.
