When you were a child, did you ever get into your parents car and try to drive? Did you get anywhere? Cause any accidents?

Oh my goodness..no way! Too timid..fraidy cat here. However, on my son's 13th birthday I took him out to a vacant parking lot and we began his driving lessons...I wanted him to be experienced and relaxed behind the wheel so that when he was 16 he'd do well on his driving exam..and he did! :)

When I was 2, I got behind the wheel of the family car and drove it through the neighbors fence across the street. That was the same year I shut down the old wooden Macy's escalator in New York. I have a terrible curiosity with buttons and levers.

A group of friends and I did that with a delivery truck when we were about 8. We didn't have a clue what we were doing but somehow it started moving forward, crossed the road and crashed into a garden fence at about 5mph.

Ok, I'm dating myself here but I was raised by my grandparents and My Grandpa had an old Willy's Coupe that had a starter button on the floorboard. When I was about 6 I was sitting in the car and pushed the starter button and was quite surprised when the car lurched and started running and I went across the field behind our house until I hit a ditch and the car stalled. Later that year or maybe when I was about 7 I was sitting in My Grandma's 59 Chevy station wagon and pulled the Shifting lever and the car started rolling backwards down the driveway towards the road. I remember being amazed that grandpa could actually run and he finally caught up to the car as I was rolling across the road and reached in the window and shoved the car into park and stopped it. I thought it was great fun.

Unfortunately, I grew up with two car less parents, but they were still cool.

Yes..when I was about 10 I got in my mom's old Buick. Ran smack into the front of the house. Didn't really hurt the car, but put one helluva dent in the brick and caved in the bottom of the picture window. There had been a chair (a large, heavy one) against the wall I hit...knocked clear into the dining room table. Scared the crap out of me. Only thing that saved my ass..literally..was, technically it was my house. I got a very large settlement when my dad was killed in a car accident and my stepfather "borrowed" it to buy the house..it paid a large part of it anyway. It only cost 800.00 to fix the damage so my stepfather considered that repayment. Ya right..he was only about 40K short! Sorry..rambling on here..

My father never had a car all his life.
