cars

I used to believe that if you turned the steering wheel round 360 degrees while you were driving, the car would flip over on to its roof.

I was a kid when the FIRST Herbie movies came out, and Wonderbug was on TV. One day after church, someone was using the PA system on their CB in the parking lot. So I realized that some cars could, in fact, be alive and talk. Every Sunday while waiting on the adults, I would go around to different cars and say "hello," hoping one of them would talk back!

I use to believe those plastic bins that people put on top of their cars were Big Mac containers from McDonalds. I would always want one of those giant Big Macs

When i was very little i used to be frightened of my dad lifting the bonnet up on the car because i thought the car had opened it,s mouth to eat him.

I used to believe that if you drove over a banana peel the car would slide off the road.

When I was very small, my older brother told me that when people got in a Winnebago, they could never get out again. So whenever we drove by one, I always looked at the people in them and felt very sorry.

When we would be stuck in a long traffic jam on a highway I thought there must be someone VERY important at the front of this long line of cars and I just assumed that person was Abraham Lincoln.

When I was little my brothers told me that if you opened all the doors of a car at once then it will fly away. I didn't really like the sound of that one.

Some sport cars have a double exhaust. I wondered why. Why would people want to pollute twice as much?

F*ck the environment?

When I was little I asked what the parking brake in my mom's car was for, and she said something about it being for hills. For as long as we had that car I was convinced that you pressed the button on the end of that lever to fire rockets out the back of the car to help you get up steep hills.

I used to believe that any time I rode with my parents in a car that we were actually in an actual race. I also used to picture my grandmother and all my family members listening to the race on the radio at home.

When I was little, I thought our car knew where we were going. From the back seat all I could see when Mum was driving was the little green light flash, then I'd see her turning the steering wheel. So I just assumed we had driven this way so many times, the car knew exactly where we were going and indicated by itself!

I used to think that drivers accelerated by turning the steering wheel.

When I was little my mother told me that if I used the cruise control on my car it would get stuck and I would have to drive forever.

I used to believe that one side of the road was for people with red lights on their car and the other side was for people with white lights on their car.

When I was little, my dad always told me that the triangle button on the dashboard (for the flashers) were a seat ejector and that if I ever pushed it, I would shoot through the sun roof and into space. I panicked the day our car broke down and he had to push it.

When i was younger I used to believe that windshield wipers would turn on when you clapped your hands. I thought this was true up to my freshman year in high school.

Katie

I used to believe my mother had a map of the world in her head. How else did she always know how to get where we were going? And when I asked her, she confirmed it.

I used to believe there were little people in the place where the car windows go when they are down who cleaned the windows.

When i was little I thought the windshield wipers on a car worked because it was the job of little people to move them back and forth.
