The Backseat Driver!(or Passenger)

Do any of your friends love to TOUCH & PUSH all of your buttons.

For instance I wont be paying attention and my girlfriend will push the
heated seat button on a hot day.

Or your buddy will open and close the glove box.

Last, the kid who ask a thousands questions about your car....

Despite all that I still love driving my car!!!

My 4 year old son has picked up my wife's endearing habit of making "tire squealing" noises when I corner.

Did you guys ever see that Passat commercial where the kid asks his dad what the hazard-light button does, and the dad says it's the turbo boost or something? The kid presses the button and the dad floors it...

It looked like fun so I did it when my 4 year old boy asked the inevitable... I told him it made us go super fast so he did it and I gunned it. Was really funny.

Problem is now he wants to do it all the time.

...But who am I to remove the fantasy?

I think they are born knowing how to make motor noises. I know mine was.

I hope for his sake your 4 year old was not riding in the front seat, and unrestrained enough that he could reach a dash button!!

Very good point. Children under 12 should be in the back seat.

Nah, he was strapped into the back seat in a straight jacket for extra safety and pushed the button with his mind. lol

He's in the back seat restrained 99.9% of the time. If I drive around the block (like to the pool) or up to our neigborhood park occasionally I'll let him sit in the front.

What were you thinking? How could you do that? If even for a second! Don't you know how dangerous it is to push the "turbo" button on suburban streets?

Be honest......how many thought I was going to go off on the front seat safety thing? hehe

That was funny! Amazingly the only thing that keeps the drama from happening is mentioning that it will. I'm sure in this case it will anyway, just probably not as bad as it would if it wasn’t mentioned. The kindling started, it would have (and still might) get full blaze!!!

When I was a kid, since I was the youngest or 3 I had to ride in the middle of the back seat of our Ford LTD Wagon.

Body position: middle of the back seat...I spent 2/3rd of the ride standing on the hump hanging over the front seat. No seat belt, obviously. And occassionally reach into the cooler in the back to get my dad (who's driving) another beer.

My uncle took me on a ride on his Harley and I wasn't wearing a helmet. /gasp/

Big freakin' deal.

The safety ***** can kiss my hairy butt.

There, I think that should rile some folks up. LOL.

I have a friend who, when she gets in the car (feminine pronoun's a dead give-away here), will turn the vents up and away from her. No matter how many times I point out a) the dual-climate control, b) the ability to close vents, she STILL does this. AGH. She'll then say, "brrr... I'm cold". Bring a freakin' sweater, I'm not driving around in Vegas without my A/C on!

I used to ride in the front seat when I was under 12... of course, that's before it was illegal, and the whole airbags thing.

Amen brother!

How did we survive!

When I was three, I bounced in the back of a 55 Buick from Ohio to Texas. It was my Grandparents car, my parents were behind them and they said all they could see was my head bouncing up and down in the back window.

My Mom is 76 years old and if I am riding with her in the passengers seat, if we have to stop fast, she still puts out her hand to stop me from going forward into the dash.
