    I believe you're right that more exact words from him were 'You can't afford it'. For the purpose I was asking about anyway.

    I was hanging out with the neighbors today, including Ryan, who installed my stereo system and backup camera; Ryan has a 6-year old daughter, and pictures of her with my truck when we installed the subwoofer and amp can be found in this thread. My other neighbors have a 6-year old son who is absolutely infatuated with classic cars and hot rods; I got to talking with him about video games, and it was over when he found out I have GTA 5. Obviously, his parents do not let him play Grand Theft Auto, but he watches gameplay videos on YouTube and knows quite a good deal about GTA 5 from that; If he was 6-8 years older, I'd let him come over and play it, but I cannot in good conscience expose a first grader to GTA 5! He kept peppering me with questions about it, and I showed him a picture of an Enus Stafford like the one I had that got blown up by another player; I also showed him the iFruit app and the "Chop the Dog" minigame. I deemed these things to be appropriate to show a 6-year old, as they contained no profanity or other inappropriate content.

    I may be 31, but I do have a few videogames in my collection that would be appropriate for a 6-year old to play, including Monster Jam. I also showed him Car Mechanic Simulator, which I currently have on order from Amazon. He immediately wanted the Xbox version of the game (I have a PS4) and since his birthday is in July I not only encouraged him to ask his parents for it but also showed the game to mom and dad, who immediately approved.

    @Mrtacoman88

    Upon hearing that my young neighbor enjoyed hot rods and watching YouTube, I looked up the official music video for ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man (which features Billy Gibbons' 1933 Ford, Eliminator) and let him watch it; I can proudly say that I've gotten a 6-year old into ZZ Top :headbang:

    Just one kid who likes real music is a win in my books!

    I also have a ton of car magazines that I never read, which are just gathering dust in boxes; Most of these 3-5 years old or older, and I do not have the heart to throw them out...

    With mom's blessing, I have decided to give him some of my magazines...

    Here's another one owned by Billy Gibbons...

    CadZZilla! Built in the late 1980s, this work of art reportedly cost Gibbons about $900K (I say again, this was in the 1980s)!

    As someone who just had an "at fault" accident and only had liability insurance I would say. Go liability if you have money to cover major repairs from an accident out of pocket and have access to a second car incase you can't drive the truck for a while or you plan on selling soon.

    Renting and borrowing a car from your employer is not fun.
