• Would You Buy a 9-Year-old a Porsche? Beckham Would

  Let me just issue a disclaimer here. I'm not bitter that I've never been behind the wheel of a Porsche. I am a country girl who still can't drive a stick. So there. OK, so I'm a teensy weensy bit jealous of nine-year-old Brooklyn Beckham. Soccer playing hottie David Beckham and Posh Spice wife Victoria have purchased their oldest child his own Porsche. Don't worry, it's a miniature version of the real thing.  And it comes with a miniature pricetag - just $72,610. Read More...

• Mini Driver: When Kids Take the Wheel

  Those precocious kids!  Maybe they have been playing too many driving video games.  Maybe television isn't the best babysitter after all.  Whatever the case, more and more kids are forsaking the Big Wheel for the real deal, and it isn't always ending poorly.   Read More...

• A DUI at 11 Years Old Can't Look Good on College Applications

  In what is possibly the youngest DUI ever, an eleven year old girl near the Alabama/Florida border was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding, reckless endangerment and leaving the scene of an accident. The pre-teen led the police on a high speed car chase (really high speed, sometimes she was driving as fast as 100 mph) in a car that belonged to some relatives. She also tested over the legal blood alcohol level for minors. I have no idea what kind of punishment she will receive from the police, but I think it is a pretty safe bet that she is grounded. *Note to my own children: I know you can't read yet, but when you can and you search the internet archives for everything your lunatic mother has ever written - don't even think about pulling this kind of crap. You'll never get into an Ivy League college with this kind of behavior.  Posted Jul 07 2007, 03:07 PM by Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: underage drinking, dui, kids driving
