He “just loves cars..."

Daily News:
A 12-year-old boy angry at his mom got behind the wheel of the family car and took his kid brother on a two-hour joyride through Queens last night, police said.

Although baby driver Kenny Rodriguez and his 7-year-old brother, Miguel Pepin, cruised the busy Grand Central Parkway, they made it safely to a friend's house, where cops collected them.

"Thank God," said their shaken mom, Carolina Rivas, 33, at the 107th Precinct stationhouse in Fresh Meadows where she was reunited with her boys. "I'm glad they're okay and I just want to get them home. I don't care about the car."

Rivas said she had had words with her older son about his behavior in school and with a baby-sitter when he returned to his Kew Gardens Hills home after school.
