The X5

Well, the CX5 wasn't enough for your good little kid? Well, why don't we scale it up a notch - the x5 isn't that short of a tank anymore, you can be as reckless as you whish and teach the values to your kid that are truly important - that the rules don't apply because you're loaded. And give him a computer to match.


Description

So, your kid wants a gaming computer, you want your kid to shut up and of course, you never learned to set borders or enforce rules around the house, because your kids just get everything.

You don’t have any parking skills. Or social skills. Or literally any skills. And you don’t want your kid to have any, either. So… of course, you get the X5, the computer to match your car and your purse. Well, more of a briefcase. Of course.

Disclaimer

Don’t take the game-purchasing advice here serious. If you do, please play the games first to get to know they won’t turn you (or your kids) into violent monsters.
