Bonafide badass


Boy drives 2,100 km from home
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JETERSVILLE, Va. - A 13-year-old Virginia boy apparently loaded his family's pickup truck with food, clothes and his dog, hitched up a trailer with two horses in tow and drove 2,100 kilometres to Texas, police said.

The teen's parents found him safe Friday. Police are unsure why the boy ran away Wednesday morning from his Jetersville-area home.

He apparently was well-prepared, even bringing extra propane tanks along.

Wyatt McLaughlin was found about 2 p.m. local time Friday on a rodeo grounds near Weatherford, Texas, where he had performed several times before. Rest of the story here.

This kid has to be about the smoothest cat that side of the Mississippi. I want to know if he had previous driving experience or if he's just a natural like Michael Myers in Halloween.

You know I've always said when I become famous the first thing I'm going to do is hire a driver and I think this kid fits the bill. He can't drink legally for 8 years so I don't have to worry about him joining the party. It's a best case scenario. You fools better start clicking the side ads so I can hire this kid.
