Moms and Cars -- Happy Mother's Day!

Hi folks -- Above are a few images that reflect mothers and the auto today.  With all the technologies to assist in household work, what has really happened is now there is more work for mother. Yet, the car or minivan is the only lace in which she can be alone at times, a private space for quiet time after dropping off the kids at soccer or dance.

My mother never did drive a car.  She did try to learn to drive during the early 1950s, but gave up after failing a driver's test in which she wedged the car between a tree and fire hydrant (true story). With the exasperated examiner next to hear in the front seat, she ended up pulling the shift knob off the stalk and handed to the tester, saying "now here you drive!"
