Well, the kid wanted the Audi A8 and was offered something less in his mind. Let me put this in terms most of you guys can understand: it would be the same disappointment you'd have if you asked for the hot $350 Schwinn 10-speed bike for Christmas and your parents got you a $150 Huffy cruiser instead. I see the boy's point -- I'm afraid you all think he should be grateful only because the scale is so different here and that it's something so out of your reach -- but for him, the Porsche 911 Carerra was the lousy Huffy cruiser bike. So it's all relative and I see his point quite clearly.
