I don't think it's too out of the ordinary... IMHO it wouldn't be such a big deal if it weren't for the GTA hoopla.
Up until I was maybe 12 years old, my father was pretty big into motorcycles. Once, when I was probably about 6 or 7, my dad brought me along when he went to a shop. They had several snowmobiles in the showroom, and that was the first time I had ever seen one in person.
Well, seeing as how they were the only things I was tall enough to sit on, I hopped onto one, grabbed hold of the bars, and started making the expected VROOM VROOM noises. At some point I must have started flipping switches and pressing all of the buttons, because all of a sudden that thing fired up, right in the middle of the showroom. I'll be damned if that wasn't the loudest, scariest thing I'd ever seen, and I hadn't the slightest idea how to shut it off...
I learned right then and there not to mess with stuff I don't know how to drive.
