(CNN)A 5-year-old boy with $3 in his pocket was pulled over by Utah police while driving his parent's car to California to buy a Lamborghini.

The boy left in the SUV after arguing with his mother, who said she would not buy the luxury car for him, Utah Highway Patrol said on Twitter.

A trooper spotted the vehicle weaving on Interstate 15 at 30 mph, the Utah Highway Patrol said.

Troopers told CNN affiliate KSL-TV they initially thought the boy was an impaired driver.
"How old are you? You're 5 years old?" Trooper Rick Morgan says in dash camera footage of the traffic stop. "Wow ... Where did you learn to drive a car?"

wouldn’t notice their five year old pulling out of the driveway in the family SUV? Tiger King isn’t THAT entertaining!

Don't know the details, but a lot of kids are home from school without daycare because of COVID-19 and some parents still have to work.
