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.
Probably utility 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.
Duuuuuuuude if my dad bought a Viper, I would have diiiiiiiied.
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.
