If the custodian is a co-investor it leads to the possibility of competing interests and at the very least an allegation, by say the non-custodial parent or another family member, of impropriety.

I would personally pick a BMW over a Cadillac anyday after driving tons of each (was a co owner of a dealership a few years back).My favorite car of all time is my current BMW M5.
