Do any of you have any early memories or stories of being in a car?

I don't think we've ever discussed this. Besides, I'm bored.

I think the earliest memory I have of being in any car is my dad's 1982 Accord hatchback in gray. I think it's a combination of my parents telling me about it and me somewhat vaguely remembering it, but I do remember that my dad put me on his lap while he was driving and I got to steer at the ripe age of probably 2 or 3 years old. I do remember pressing every button on the radio, because buttons and knobs are cool.

My dad is a mechanic, so my memory of being around cars is a pretty loaded question- I've been around cars all my life. I do remember my dad coming back from work after working on trucks. The smell of diesel on his hands is very hard to wash off, and it's actually a fairly pleasant smell. I feel like he works with cars more, but he occasionally does trucks every so often still.
