In what just might be one of the most German stories we've ever heard, an eight-year-old boy from Soest, Germany recently went on a midnight drive in his mother's Volkswagen Golf and hit a top speed of 87 miles per hour, reports CNN.

Kid made up for some poor initial judgment with some real driving chops and better in-incident judgment. And good job, Polizei!

A short, "fun" read.
