They say there are no "Bad" ideas in this world. That each idea has it's own viewpoint and perspective, and that even in the slightest sense, any concept must have a positive side.
This does not apply to the notion of treating your child like a motor vehicle.
My friends, children are God's little gifts to the world and should be treated as such. If your dear young one is suffering from any illness or injury, don't take them to a mechanic. Take them to a pediatrician. They're not a car, they're a miniature person, believe it or not. You were never a Ferrari in your early years. Your mother didn't give birth to a Porsche in that hospital. Thusfore, it is entirely illogical to treat your child the same way you would treat your car. Your blessed infant doesn't power on with the turn of a key. You don't head into a Shell or a Texaco station to gas up your infant. No, you let it suck on your nipple. Treat your miniature person with kindness.
You here that whining in the night? No, that's not a car alarm. That's your baby. It's crying. It's hungry. Feed it. No, don't pour gasoline into it's open mouth. You're doing it wrong. Feed it mushed carrots or something like that, baby's like that stuff. Don't try to park it. No, no, no, you can't throw a baby in reverse. And don't even THINK about putting that dear little thing through a car wash.
No, you can't hotwire an infant. That's called kidnapping. And it's illegal.
It's even more erroneous to attempt to take your infant into a body shop. This is why we have doctors. Do NOT try and take your baby into a mechanic. He'll think the teeth are screws. He'll open up the ribs thinking it's the hood of the car. Friends, your dear child does not deserve this. Please take care of your baby. Don't throw it onto a NASCAR track and tell it to run. Do not load up your camping gear onto it's back in the misconception that it is the bed of a truck. Don't put a CD into it's mouth and expect it to play.
Use common sense. Your baby is not a car.
