We had family in Ferndale and Silvery Heights Michigan and this was the same advice they had since the 50's!
I remember as a kid back in the 60's getting into my uncles car to go somewhere and as we were backing out of his driveway he remembered he forgot something. He
made everyone get out of the car and go back into the house with him for about 5 seconds
He refused to leave anyone in a stopped car, even in his driveway.
AMERICA...HOME OF THE BRAVE!
We have the Aug Cleveland roadtrip planned for about 20 of us.
