if they had these when i was that age, my Flintstone powered tow truck would have been history.

Not sure whether to nominate for Father of the Year or Darwin awards.

Kid does a pretty good job of throwing in opposite lock...or perhaps I am mistaking his random sawing of the wheel for skill?

that's our future tsuchiya right there...

Hey Ray Wert, don't worry about hurrying back from your injury. We have found your replacement.

Management

Lookout the child abuse police will be out next.

Man...I hate being an adult!

@rexplex:

Choice A.

Wait until this kid discovers the joys of catching air. I forsee a competitor to the Jersey Samurai in the very near future.

@OldeEnglishD: Is Ray hurt, or did you mean Wes Siler?

Am I too old to have a PowerWheels?

I wish my dad had loved me this much.

Or hated me.

Whichever, I want that damn truck.

Adulthood sucks.

@OldeEnglishD: Wes Siler, not Ray Wert. Damn memory issues.....

I am literally LOL here at work... The boy has great car control, well, until the end. I loved his "hands behind the head" plastic peel out at about 1:15 left.

wow, all I had a was a pedal Jeep.

This must be grade five in hoon-academy for boys?

"Hit it boy"

@Elhigh: +1.

Normally, I'd have something snide to say - but this kid is just too god damn adorable!!

father of the year if he'd put a helmet on the kid. still, the sight of someone passing down the art of hoonage at such a young age brings a tear of joy to my eye.

That's right, start 'em young. When I was his age I was jumping my big wheel off 3 foot high jumps made by leaning plywood on cinderblocks. We didn't wear helmets and got stitches on our heads all the time... and we liked it!

Has anyone been to a toy store lately that carries these? They've got a huge one, bigger than the Powerwheels Jeep Hurricane even. It's a rallye car I believe and I think it's big enough to fit an adult, granted not comfortably. I will be applying this guy's mods as soon as my two year old turns 3. We live on a cul de sac as well.

Stay tuned.....

Everything looks so well manicured and McFabulous in suburbia.

It's almost like the little shit is thumbing his nose at us all when, towards the end of the clip, he starts whining on sarcastically about, "I can't drive, I can't drive." only after about 2 minutes of him doing donuts and drifts...

My bitterness is directly proportionate to my jealousy.

Well, that's 3 minutes of my life I won't be getting back....

My dad souped up my big wheel by gluing a strip of bike tire about the front wheel giving me both maximum speed and maximum grip for throwing the back end around. I wish these things were around when I was that age.

DORRRIFTOOOOOO!

+ Watch video

Oh goody!

[Rubs hands together while laughing maniacally]

That kids gonna have some pretty cool scars by the time he is a teenager. Lucky little bastard.

Colin McRae's secret suburban American roots revealed.

Did he say, "I need some freakin' help"?

That video is six kinds of awesome.

I agree...all parents should allow child hoonage. It's part of their development methinks. My dad did it, and he let me do it. Bumps and scrapes are part of that too. A helmet for the kid would be nice tho.

Come on, at least he had a seat rope..err belt.

what the...I watched 3 minutes of that, and then the dad takes the camera OFF THE KID right before he biffs?!!

LUCKIEST KID EVER! I F'N WANT ONE!

man. all i got was a big wheel. i didn't even get the kind w/ the cool hand brake. although i managed a few helmetless slides in my day.

Mr. Rhythm says, "If ya think you gonna bail, ya better wear a pail."

Gentlemen, I bring you the next Preident of the Junior Hoons of America! [golf clap]

Cool!

Some dickweed will probably call the cops on them though. There's one in every neighborhood.

@Al Navarro: At 2:25, you can tell the kid has some skills.

Coolest. Parents. Ever.

Helmet, schmelmet! When I was that kids age, we were bombing down paved hills on skateboards and unpaved and really steep hills on bmx bikes with no helmets. God I miss the 70's! None of this Nanny state BS. Nobody got seriously hurt, despite the horrendously stupid things we'd do. But it sure was fun!

You know something is going to end upside down when proceeded by the phrase "Hey Grandma, wanna see somethin' cool?"

Suddenly, all my cherished childhood memories, seem worthless.

Now I need to go find an old golf cart on craigslist, and install high-powered motors and plastic wheels.

Awesome. That kid is one of the luckiest kids in existence. Certainly, much more than my go-kart/power wheels absent childhood. I did get the pleasure of watching my neighbor abuse and ignore his brand new power wheel. What a waste. My jealousy meter and desire to have my own offspring just increased tenfold.

Us Jalopniks need to create a Young Hoons of America program complete with awards and t-shirts.

Drifting, no hands, opposite lock, donuts. The hoon is strong in this one.

Next up for Jeff Foxworthy:

"Can You Drift Better Than A Third Grader?"

that thing have a LSD in the back?

@johnnyichiban: COTD!!!

Get this kid an 86, stat.

Those last ten seconds of him crawling out of the wreck instantly reminded me of Daves Farm for some reason.

Also, its no wonder the kid had to kick the tail out, that thing understeers like crazy if he doesn't boot the throttle.

@cyclopticgaze: The kid has mad metachlorian count, yo.

I wonder if you could replace the plastic wheels with some hard kart slicks.

Anyone else see a Supra in this kid's future?

Rest easy, Jalops. Our future is bright (and hoony).

I'll bet that kid's dad has the fastest effing Prius in the world.
