[quote] Two Florida grandparents have been arrested after police say they hooked their granddaughter's plastic toy Hot Wheels car to their SUV and gave her a ride. A Sarasota County deputy said he spotted the seven-year-old wearing a bathing suit and no helmet as she was towed behind the SUV on Sunday. Her toy car was tied to a trailer hitch with dog leashes. She was not harmed.

I know it's reckless and dangerous but I sorta wish I could do that myself as a kid.
Grandmother at such a young age, to a 7 year old girl too.

[QUOTE=Fivas;35781151]I was trying so hard to peice together how that could work when I read the title :v: Seriously this is so dumb.[/QUOTE] I was thinking they used one leash to strap a tiny car to the roof while she was being dragged behind by another.

[QUOTE]The deputy estimated that the Hot Wheels car was traveling between five and ten miles per hour when it was stopped.[/QUOTE] But if it's stopped, how can it move?!
Oh yeah.....I read this wrong
[quote] The grandparents used dog leashes to tie their granddaughter's plastic Hot Wheels car (not pictured) to their SUV [/quote] Surprised that they were able to do that while drunk.
Wish my grandparents were like that :(

[QUOTE=ragawaga;35783341]Wish my grandparents were like that :([/QUOTE] Wish I ever got to know my grandparents

[QUOTE=SpaceGhost;35783970]I've only seen mine once in my life :/ and my grandfather is in the hospital.[/QUOTE] Send him my best wishes.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who begged my parents/grandparents to do this as a kid.
Good god the grandpa looks like a q-tip.

They were only going 10mph, what's wrong with this?

49 and 47? Those are really young grandparents.
Huh, I was picturing a fucked up story and people being hurt. This one wasn't bad save the risk with him being drunk.
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;35785931]49 and 47? Those are really young grandparents.[/QUOTE] I've got a friend with a child and his parents are about that age.
