Do you sometimes feel like you're alone, tearing your hair out as your teen tears up your tires? Take comfort in the words of these pundits, scribes and parents:

When buying a used car, punch the buttons on the radio.  If all the stations are rock and roll, there's a good chance the transmission is shot. 

Mother Nature is providential.  She gives us twelve years to develop a love for our children before turning them into teenagers. 

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.  But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. 

Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey.

If everything is coming your way, then you're in the wrong lane

Parents can tell but never teach, unless they practice what they preach.

We are the first nation in the history of the world to go to the poorhouse in an automobile.

Role modeling is the most basic responsibility of parents. Parents are handing life's scripts to their children, scripts that in all likelihood will be acted out for the rest of the children's lives.

I don't like driving very much. That makes me very unhappy, because I scream a lot in the car, but other than that, life is actually pretty good.

The invention of the teenager was a mistake.

Once you identify a period of life in which people get to stay out late but don’t have to pay taxes – naturally, no one wants to live any other way.

Regret for the things we did can be tempered over time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

You teach best what you most need to learn.

Men can read maps better than women. Cause only the male mind could conceive of one inch equaling a hundred miles.

Knowledge exists to be imparted.

I'm trying very hard to understand this generation. They have adjusted the timetable for childbearing so that menopause and teaching a sixteen-year-old how to drive a car will occur in the same week.

You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.

When I get real bored, I like to drive downtown and get a great parking spot, then sit in my car and count how many people ask me if I'm leaving.

Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield.

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.

Why is it that everyone driving faster than us is a maniac, and everyone driving slower than us is an idiot?

The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
