For his ninth birthday, Ziggy got a Polaris ATV from his dad.

"When he was younger, he loved driving his electric Jeep," Jeff Klein told Daily Voice. "Any minute he was outside, he was driving."

"This is much better than one of those little baby ones," Ziggy said, sitting atop his prized possession.

The younger Klein became interested in vehicles after his dad -- who owns a company that prints designs and logos on clothing -- bought a Porsche 911.

Now Ziggy wants to follow in his footsteps and compete in the Baja 1000, an off-road race down Mexico's Baja Peninsula.

"You have to be 18 to drive it," he said. "I'm going to go on stilts and glue on a fake beard."
