I was riding with my grandfather in his truck and pointed to a red one, telling him I wanted one of those cars.

He laughed and said it would be a long time before I could drive it. So I said, buy it and keep in your garage for me until I grow up.

He did buy me a replica pedal car for my birthday though.
