Racer dad with racer girl

When we wrote our post Do You Have a Car Loving Kid? we didn’t realize this was a trend. Nor did we realize the $25,000 toy Ferrari was just a starter car.

Seems as if Tom Cruise’s little angel Suri loves racing. According to reports, he bought her a $30,000 custom-made replica Indy car.

Reportedly, a source said, “Suri has been mesmerized by auto racing on TV so he thought it would be fun for her to have her own little car to ride in. If Suri truly takes to the sport, Tom plans on having a little race track installed at his L.A. property. But for now she’ll just be going up and down the family’s long driveway.”

Dlisted.com had this to say about Suri’s car, “Let’s get really really REAL here. Suri didn’t want that mini race car. If Suri wanted a car, she’d request a burgundy Cadillac Deville with gold-plated accents, tan leather seats and a driver in a tuxedo. Suri is a REFINED LADY. She doesn’t play around with stupid race cars.”

Hmm, sorry Dlisted but we don’t agree! Why can’t Suri have her heels and drive fast wheels too? We know some folks (see: all of our readers) who are refined ladies who love their fast cars. Who knows Suri could be the first female in F1. Suri, we support your driving passion—you go girl!
