When I was younger I knew that the earth spun. Well, I assumed then that when you were driving, the car wasn't really moving, the earth was spinning and the wheels moved to let the earth spin while the car stayed still!

i used to believe that cars had to be plugged in, and that there was a really long cord stretching from your car to your garage. i always used to look for the cord but i could never find it.

I used to believe that the button in a car for the four ways was the "air bag" button, and you pressed it right before you had an accident. My boyfriend told me that when I was sixteen, and I believed it until I pressed it for myself to se eif he was telling the truth.

when i was little i used to think that the car was powered by a giant duracell battery strapped underneath, and when my mum and dad said that the car battery had gone flat it was literally as flat as a pancake!

When I was same I used to think that the Emergency Brake on a car made the cops and ambulances come when u pulled it!

i used to think that the faster you go in your car, the faster the car radio went.

When I was younger I used to wonder how the gas tanks at the gas station could hold so much gas and so many different kinds because they were so small.

I used to believe that whenever you travelled in a car, it wasn't actually the car that was moving, the eart was just on a giant treadmill and the land was being pulled out from underneath you.

I thought cruise control drove the car and you just sat back and rode.

My cousin and I used to beleive that this red button in my aunts car would make it fly (she told us that)...To this day I still don;t know what that damn button was for.

when i was a wee lad i didn't know there were gas tanks on cars so i thought the gas filled up all the compartments inside the car like the manifolds and dashboard and ceiling.

when i was little my dad told me that if the blinker in the car blinked more than 5 times then the car would blow up and i believed him until i counted one day and realized he jokes around too much.

i used to think that the car wouldnt start unless all the seatbelts were buckled. so i would go around the car and make sure they were all buckled.

I was told by some neighbor's kids that there was a hole under the driver's seat of my dad's truck and in the hole there was a huge floating fire and then if you went through the fire you would fall onto the road and die instantly. I started crying when they stuffed my teddy bear under the seat and I tried to save him but was afraid to die. Luckily, my dad found out a couple hours later and told me they were kidding.

When I was about four, my mom would snap her fingers, and turn on the windshield wipers and then she'd snap her fingers again and turned them off, and claimed she was magic. I actually believed her!

When I was out playing with my friend, and we heard a really loud car go by, I'd yell, "Get a muffler!" And then a friend of mine was talking to my mom, and asked her if she would rather have a Mustang or a Muffler. Sheþ=“Öught Muffler was a type of car!

On one of the meters on my dad's car, one of the sides had the word "brake". I asked my dad what would happen if the arrow went to it, so he jokingly told me the car would break. So, I spent most of my car rides as a child worriedly watching to make sure the arrow never went to "brake".

i used to believe that if you were a kid and u turned the radio on in your car then the car would blow up

I thought that some government official was monitoring your air conditioning usage in the car and would bill you for it every time you turned it on because my mom said that if you push the "A/C" button, it would cost you more money.
