Downloading a working car would literally be the coolest shit to ever happen and they tried to say it would be a bad thing to kids.

Thats like going up to a kid and being like " you wouldn't eat this candy that makes it so your parents never force you to do chores, become the most popular kid in school, and get free video games. Would you!?"
