Thread: Great car and truck stories

Tweet

Boy, we've all pulled those kinds of tricks and sweat bullets later when we think back on what could have happened. Young and dumb.

Ken's story also reminded me of one. When my Sons were about 4 or so I took them to the store with me one time. It was a little grocery store on an incline in Pennsylvania. I shut the car off, but just put the four speed shifter in one of the gears to hold it while I ran into the store. The kids stayed in the car (those were the days you could do that kind of stuff) and as I am paying for my loaf of bread I look out to check on them as see my Mustang rolling slowly past the window but gaining speed! Like Ken I ran out, threw open the door, and jammed my foot onto the brake pedal. The car stopped inches from a parked car in front of me, and my two little drivers were sitting there wondering why they couldn't play with the steering wheel and shifter any more.

Mom never knew about that story either.........Mom never knew about a LOT of stories, or she would have never trusted me taking them out by myself again.
