Daily Mirror UK, 6 MAY 2020
A five-year-old boy from Utah who was caught by police driving his parents' car down the freeway and who told police he was on his way to buy a Lamborghini has been given a ride in the real thing.
Adrian Zamarripa, who turns 6 next month, was pulled over by a state trooper on Monday who was shocked to find the young boy sitting behind the wheel of the car. His feet were barely able to reach the pedals.
Trooper Rick Morgan noticed an SUV driving erratically and swerving between lanes on a freeway in Ogden, Utah just before noon on Monday.
On Tuesday, a sympathetic neighboir in the town of Ogden, Utah, Jeremy Neves, decided to give the boy, Adrian Zamarripa, a joyride in his own Lamborghini
Neves said he felt encouraged by the kid's story and wanted to show the child that his dreams were within reach. Sweet photos from the encounter show the boy smiling broadly
However, the story caught the imagination of a neighbour who allowed him to take a ride in his own Lamborghini - only this time, in the passenger seat.
Pictures show the youngster grinning from ear to ear as he was given the ride of his life through his own neighbourhood.

One day, he hoped to own one himself but needs to wait another 12 years before he can even get his license
Lamborghini owner Jeremy Neves said he felt encouraged by the kid's story.
'He had the courage to just go after what he wanted, you know?' said Neves. 'He didn't have the skill set, let alone the size to drive a vehicle, and he figured it out.
'Maybe he's getting punished, maybe he's grounded, maybe he's got some chores to do. I can relate to that. At the same time, I thought it would be really cool to say, 'Your dreams aren't as far away as you think they are.'
Adrian didn't say much else during his encounter but appeared to have fun as he got to inspect the car before being taken for a ride.
After it was all over, the pair hugged in what was an emotional moment.
'He's always talked about wanting a Lamborghini, and now he got a chance to ride in one,' said his sister Sidney Estrada. 'I'm glad that after all the fear our own family put in him, that he got to live his dream.'
