cars

I believed that a short-wheel base truck was for people who hadn't quite saved enough money for the whole truck.

Likewise, that a convertible was for folks who couldn't afford the whole car.

I used to believe that when your car flashes the blinking lights, that meant it would explode on that side.

I thought that to make a car go faster, you spun the wheel faster - clockwise to go forwards, counter to go backwards. You pushed the right or left pedal to turn.

When I was little, I used to think that if you drove on a road with a state for a name, it would take you to that state.

Once my friend was crying because she'd hurt her arm in the electric window in her mum's car. I didn't know what an elecric window was so I presumed she touched it and got an electic shock!

I used to believe the turning signals in a car were the car's navi AI. I always wondered how it knew where we were going.

I used to think that if a parking spot had a wheelchair on it, it was for employees only.

It was in a dream

When I was little I used to believe that whenever you rode in a car, the car itself wasn't moving, but taht it was pushing the earth behind it, causing it to appear to be moving.

whenever we went on a family road trip, i didn't understand that my parents were using a map to get to wherever we were going. i always thought they had memorized how to get anywhere in the country

I used to believe that the car knew where we were going because my dad always turned the way it was pointing to.

up until i was 6 years old or so i thought the highbeams light on cars looked like a pie being thrown. so that when some1 got mad (and in real life flashed someone with there highbeams) when that light lit up we threw a pie at them some how

I remeber when i was about 5( 8 yrs. ago) that when the car door autamatically locked, that the energizer bunny, the one with the drums did it, dont ask me why I thought that, i was 5.

When I was little I never knew that there where roads u could cross to another road well i used to think that the car would stand up on its back tires and pick up its paint like a dress and tip toe across the grass!!!!!

When I was little, I would ride in the car with my mom. Well, on the highway I would see those 18-wheelers and I always told her that seing those meant we were on the highway!

I used to believe that turning signals told the driver which way to turn. I always wondered how it knew where we were going.

I used to believe that when you took a left hand turn, you would then be facing a red light and would have to wait in the middle of the intersection until that light turned green as well.

My dad was always mysterious about the release button on the emergency break and the 5th gear button on his old 1983 Volvo Station Wagon. I think I used to think that the handbrake button controlled an ejector seat and the 5th gear button was some sort of boost.

I used to believe there was some kind of secret to driving as I believed no one could keep the car on the road around all those turns without going off the road.

When I was in primary school, probably about five or six, our PE teacher told our class that speed humps were little kids who had refused to do PE and who he had put there to punish them.

For the longest time I used to try and look down the ends of speed humps, looking for the kid!
