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.
A childhood belief about cars

others believed things like this
- I used to believe that weasels routinely nested in the glove compartments of cars.— Ven
- My brother used to believe that ceiling fans were helicopters flipped upsidedown and stuck in the ceiling.— Seven
- I used to think that the music from a car radio came out of the heater/air vents in the dashboard.— Joe
- I similarly thought that "Proud Mary" included the lyrics "pumped a lot of tanks down in New Orleans."— Larry
- I thought the no overtaking sign meant that red cars cannot drive by black cars.— Helen
- I used to believe that as I ate food, I filled up, and that once I filled up completely, I would die. Anon
