What I got doesn't really matter. However, my son got his first car, a '7 Matrix (M Theory Edition) with a manual transmission because he wants to learn to drive in a car with a manual transmission. Blue is his favorite color.

About an hour after that photo was taken, a good friend of mine took him out in the car and coached him on how to balance the clutch and the throttle pedals; yes, in the Luigi costume he got for Christmas.
