Seems a perfectly reasonable reaction to me.

My father had a shit mini cooper that was made from two other shit cars welded together for some reason. The air-conditioning didn't work, there were literally holes in the floor that you could see the road through etc. On top of that he painted a bright yellow smiley face on the hood for some reason and insisted on blasting bob the builder whenever he picked us up from school.
Anyway now that the scene is set one day my father forget to put the hand-break on and a group of kids from the neighbourhood pushed the damn thing a mile down the road before breaking the windows and who knows what else.
Important lesson: If you have a goofy clown-car don't leave the hand-break off.

He is much too tall for that car.
