Oldest brother: What does a turbo do?
Me 9yr old: It’s a red button in the car and when you press it you go 10 times faster
…close enough.
I used to think all sedans were rear wheel drive, all hatch backs were front wheel drive and all SUVs are four wheel drive
When I was a kid I thought that when a car broke down, it actually broke down, i.e. the engine and transmission would drop to the ground.
Young me, asked my dad what Ghia meant.
“It means it’s got all the gear”
Pretty accurate it turns out.
I thought the speedo what the angle at which the steering was being turned.
I used to think the indicators told you where to go…
In Quebec (not sure about the rest of Canada) we often shorten kilometers to “kilos” when talking about the odometer… so I have a friend who thought the car gained weight as it aged -_-
4WD means “for wood” 😂😂
I thought that Turbo was useless.
Car Throttle teached me otherwise :P
