I guess 8 year olds shouldn't be playing in the street then. If you want your matchbox-sized car, more power to you, get yourself a Mini and call it a day.

I want and need something that I can drive out into the pasture, up the hill, to the row of oaks at the back of my property, whilst towing a log splitter, so I can saw down two oak trees and turn them into a cord of firewood that I can then load into the bed and drive back to my home to stack on the firewood rack.

You worry about your life and let other people worry about theirs.

If your hypothetical 8 year old's parents were worried about his or hers, it wouldn't be an issue to begin with.
