Ben Affleck’s 10-Year-Old Son Takes Wheels of Lamborghini and Hits Car

Ben Affleck 10-year-old just got into a little mischief by jumping into the driver's seat of a VERY expensive Lamborghini, and with the engine running he put it in reverse and it made contact with another car. Ben and Jennifer went to a a Bev Hills luxury car rental dealership. They were all looking at various cars when Ben let Samuel hop into the driver's seat of a yellow Lambo. Seems Samuel or someone else had the engine running ... the boy put the Lambo in reverse and it seems that's when it made contact with the white BMW. From the video, it seems the rear bumper on the passenger side of the Lambo made contact with the BMW's front wheel and possibly the fender. A rep for Ben says there was no damage and everyone's ok.
