Don't Let Your Baby Buy a Car

An Oregon couple would have done well to have listened to Lou Whitney, songwriter for the Morells, when he penned that advisory number some years ago.

That's because when their 14-month-old daughter was playing with Dad's iPhone, she opened up eBay and bought an Austin-Healy.

To be fair, the car is not in the best shape and only cost $225. It's currently being stored at Grandma's house -- a not uncommon fate for less-desirable toys that make too much noise (or leak too much grease) for Mom and Dad. Dad says he may try to fix it up for his own sake or give it to his daughter when she turns 16. After all, she bought the car so she is probably entitled to drive it.

The model? A 1962 Sprite, of course.
