[ He figured what it meant he was just surprised she hadn't told him from the get-go, for some reason. There's no real method behind his surprise beyond 'dude, that's cool i want that', and that's hard to express accurately.
The apparent trust is a little weird too. People trust him to do amazing things with machines, sure, to replicate things he shouldn't possibly understand, but they don't trust him with... things like this. Because he's seven and impulsive and doesn't listen to people whom he feels are not listening to him.
But okay, he gives it a little gas, and it's jerky, but when he turns to leave the garage, he doesn't actually hit anything. It's a clear path, and he's not going fast by any means, and he's still craning to see all the time, but he's going where he means to be. And not talking, all his attention on what he's doing. ]
