I don't think there's anything wrong with cars and driving. I do think that young children should not be driving, and they should be greatly informed about the dangers when they are old enough to try it. I don't think that the existence of driving should be hidden from them, or that very young children aren't able to enjoy books about cars and driving, although I think that overly-technical books about the mechanics involved won't be interesting or useful to them. I also think books that glorify racing might not be good for them, because they're often too focused on the action and don't mention the risks, which adult readers don't need to be reminded of. But I don't think that car-focused books need a warning, although it'd be nice if something in the cover art or back cover info said that cars were involved, so those who aren't interested could skip that book.
Is that what you mean when you say you don't think there's anything wrong with sex? Because that's what I mean.
I will note that children tend to be a lot more interested in stories about cars than stories about sex--unless the adults in their lives have convinced them that sex is a Very Important Topic that the mere awareness of makes them more adult.

My idea of too young, and your idea of too young, I am certain they are vastly different. I would just like the opportunity to raise my child then I see fit, the same way you desire to do the same.

That's what I'd like.
And raising my kids the way I think is right, involves not putting up with "warnings" for content I don't find objectionable.
