  My life revolves around my kid. So ya. If it makes him happy to be in a car he loves and it fits the families needs, then why wouldn’t I?

    …because you’re an adult who sees the bigger picture and don’t have the lens of an 8 year old?

      I’m an adult that will do anything to make my kid happy. Maybe you don’t understand that is the bigger picture.

        Hotwheels is a thing.

        I wanted a Ferrari growing up, and my dad wasn’t an idiot.

    Buy a real car, then weld some sheet metal panels to it. It will be 10x safer for your kid and they won’t know the difference.

      Step 1: Buy metal. Step 2: learn to weld. Step 3: nahhhh.

  If he has to get a vehicle why not one his kid likes? What vehicle choice criteria do you find acceptable?

    Safety, efficiency, and price.

    If my parents had bought a car I thought was cool back in the 90s it would have been Sgt. Slaughters Warthog from GI Joe or a Dodge Viper.

    Because it’s a fucking Cybertruck lol… In nearly any other situation, I would say you’re right. Take the kid’s choice into consideration, but then maybe ask if they have a second favorite car.

      His answer is no. I asked him why he loves it. He loves that it’s different from anything on the road. Since he has a rare disorder, he feels that he is also different. He can relate to the car more. Can’t argue with that.
