(Newser) – Suri Cruise’s latest extravagant plaything: a $30,000 toy car. To be fair, there's a lot under the hood—the car is a custom-made miniature of an Indianapolis 500 race car, reports Australia’s News Network. Days of Thunder star Tom Cruise bought his daughter the car because she's "been mesmerized by auto racing on TV,” a source tells the Telegraph, “so he thought it would be fun for her to have her own little car to ride in”—and it doesn’t stop there.

“If Suri truly takes to the sport, Tom plans on having a little race track installed at his LA property,” the source continues. “But for now she’ll just be going up and down the family’s long driveway.”

I really do feel sorry for this little girl. How will she ever find true love and have a happy life when she gets older. Who can she possibly marry that can put up with her being soooo spoiled. She will never have a normal life. No telling how many times she will be maried. I think this is a pity. Her parents are doing her such an injustice.

I detest Tom Cruise. Having said that, I have to ask regarding this story: What business is it of ours how Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes choose to spend their money?
