I used to believe that gas (like the kind you put in a car) was really grass. My mom and dad were curious as to why I put grass in my toy car and I was curious as to why the paid for "grass" when they could just get it in the backyard!
I used to believe that there were little mice in the door of a car that rolled the window up and down. When I traveled in my grandparent's car and they had manual windows, i thought that the mice were tired so we had to do it ourselves. I believe it was either my dad or grandpa that told me this.
When I was very young, I always thought that when my family went on car trips, that my step dad only sat in the driver's seat and that the car somehow knew where to go and took us to those places. Boy, did I ever feel dumb when I finally found out the truth! Dad,I miss you and Thanks for being my dad!
When I was younger my mother told me and my siblings that the emergancy light button in the car was really a button that would explode the car if you pushed it. One day my mom left us all in the car while she went into the gas station. My mom had told my little brother that the button really didn't do that (but the rest of us didn't know that) and he pushed the button. We all jumped out of the car and started crying until our mom came back. We told her what had happend and she had to sit on the sidewalk from laughing so hard.
When I was little I always saw the little note on the mirror in the car on the side that says, " Things that are in the mirror are closer than they appear" so i asked my big cousins what it meant and they said it was a joke...so I belived that for years
When I was younger, I used to believe that the car-wash was eating the car everytime we went. My mum still picks on me for it.
i used to believe that electric cars had to stay plugged in to a wall socket all the time even when you are driving. i wondered how they could have a long enough cord to go on vacations!!!
When I was a kid and I went into the car with my dad, I'd always roll down the window and it annoyed him, so eventually he locked it. I thought that I had made the window mad and if I waited long enough it would forgive me. I waited one year and then tried the window again, and lo and behold, it worked.
One afternoon I was sitting on the porch watching the occasional car go by, not being able to see the drivers. I then decided to count how many moving cars I could spot that were driving on their own.
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!
When I was about 5 or 6 my mum and I got in a car wreck when the wheel slipped on a sheet of ice. We did 1 or 2 360s that my mum called donuts later when she was explaining to the family what happened. So, for years when I would tell the story I would tell everyone that one time my mum and I got into a wreck because we slipped on a donut that was left on the side of the road. My mum still picks on me for it.
when i was 3 my dad didn't like the skylight on the car open. 1 day i asked him why and he said that dinosaurs might reach in and bite his head off, even though dinosaurs were "estink". i am soooooo smart
I believed when going in the car that it was on a big scalextric track and the earth moved underneath us and we stayed still
I used to believe that I could see over the clouds if I looked thru the tinted part on a cars windshield. I believed that I could see God and the Angels looking down at us. I would always ask my mom if she wanted me to check up on my great grandma!
i didn't know what slug bugs were. so when people hit me when one went by, i thought they were going to hit me with a sluggish bug.
ha.
I used to think that to drive a car you had to know how to go everywhere because how else would you know which side of the road to drive on?
My mum had a car called an Imp and I was convinced that the noise the indicators made was the car saying 'take look', which told other cars to look out because we were turning.
For years I believed that indicators were called 'take looks'. It probably didn't help that my parents humoured me by calling them that.
When I was about three years old, I remember being in a car that was stuck in a traffic jam for ages, and behind a caravan. This made me think that the caravan was called a "traffic jam"
I used to believe that drag racing actually involved men in drag.
I used to think that car tires were giant Oreos. I have no idea why.
