Newsday reports that a 20-month-old toddler managed to crash his parents 1993 Buick into a building on Long Island yesterday. Apparently the child's mother left the car running—with the boy's father in the front passenger seat—while she went inside a check cashing business last night. The toddler climbed from the backseat into the front and "put the car in gear, rolling it into the building." According to WABC 7, "The vehicle took out a brick column and a window before coming to a stop inside a store." Thankfully no one inside the car or in the store was injured.

Will anyone be surprised if the kid (or parent )gets a ticket, yet what happened in Chinatown will never be resolved.
How did he reach the clutch?
Oh yeah...
buick's, from what a believe, do not have clutches.
my brother did something similar when we were toddlers.
Mom is 23, Dad is 58. I've sure like to know the story behind that.
That explains the trip to the check cashing parlor...
And to think, in just a decade and a half, he'll be mowing down pedestrians in midtown like a real Lawn Guylander. They grow up so fast.
WTF was the dad doing? Given that he was 58, he probably was asleep.
Is that kid's name Toonces?
Ha! Great reference...
Dont you need to step on brakes to shift?? I am imagining a scene from family guy where stewie was driving across the country with brain. his legs can barely touch the floor...
Yes, automatics built within the last ~15 yrs have shift interlocks too keep this from happening (after the Audi 5000 'unintended acceleration' plaintiff boondoggle).
Isn't he adorable? Kids just do the cutest things.
Sounds like dad doesn't have a lot going for him in the quick reflex department.
Aaaaaaawwwwwww......hell no!
Not a 1993 Buick! That's a real collector's car. Maybe the Car Cash Guys will buy it and restore it.
Mine even had air conditioning...occasionally.
wtf was the father doing? watching it happen?
If you had a wife that young and you were that old you were either keeping an eye on her or recovering from last night's sexcapade.
