Miley Cyrus spied with an older man?

Take one 15-year-old girl with a fondness for candid photos, add in an 18-year-old guy with a Mustang convertible, and what do you get, besides every parent's worst nightmare? A night in the life of Miley Cyrus. On Tuesday evening, the Disney powerhouse, who recently admitted to crying for "a month straight" over her breakup with teen idol Nick Jonas, was photographed with her "Hannah Montana" co-star Cody Linley as they reportedly left his Los Angeles pad. Cyrus then slipped into the passenger seat of his sports car and off they went. But before Billy Ray lets his fists do the talking, he might want to hear Cody out. "Miley and I are just friends," he insists to J-14 magazine (you've probably never heard of it unless you think Zac Efron's long lashes are the height of dreaminess). "She's my buddy. People hang out with each other. They go out to eat, they go camping, they go hiking, they go get ice cream. People do have friends of the opposite sex. She's one of my really great buddies." As for their together-time on Tuesday, Linley pooh-poohs, "We were just hanging out. ... We were painting." (We're gonna assume that last part isn't teen-speak for "come up and see my etchings.") In other Miley news, has she already found the perfect "bad" ride to mark her upcoming 16th birthday? So claims In Touch, which says she's picked out a convertible Mercedes with a price tag in the ritzy neighborhood of $75,000. "Miley wanted special options like parking assist and a cream-colored leather interior, so she ordered the car early," a "pal" tattles to the magazine. "She's telling everyone that she hopes to get a car when she turns 16, so when it comes, she can say it was a surprise from her parents." Cyrus recently told Radio Disney that she wanted a vehicle "big enough for all my friends and to scare all the cars away from me. I'm a good driver, but it's everyone else that I'm worried about!"
