I heard this a lot growing up. My mom would yell, "Jim, Slow down!" and he would replay, "I'm not even touching the gas pedal!" This flashback hit me when I was floatin' down the freeway at 70 with my feet comfortably on the floor board. Mom never did say, try putting your foot on the break. LOL I love the memories this vintage car brings back. Do you have any favorite quotes that are family safe? :laugh:
"Slow Down!!!" That was what seemed to be Mom's favorite saying when the three of us boys had our learner's permits. I remember one afternoon, Eric had his permit and was driving with Mom and me. I was in the backseat and Mom next to Eric in front. He was stopped at a stop sign at 'B' and Bailey and Mom says to him, while at a dead stop waiting for traffic to clear "Slow down!!" Eric just looked at her and said "Okay. How's this?" o No: :laugh:
"Watch out for that kid!!!!" I'd instinctively lock the brakes, even though I didn't see anyone or thing near the car. The kid was always so far away he couldn't get in front of me if riding on a rocket (like 500 feet to the side).
When my brother was teaching me to drive (in his Pinto ), he would always say... ...prepare for impact!
