Where I grew up, you used the Driving School's fleet of cars. Took the test with a HORRIBLE 1986-ish Ford Mustang with the I4, non turbo engine. Power was a whopping 88hp or so as I recall. Imagine trying to merge onto a highway with yourself, the instructor, and at least one terrified student in the back seat. My old go kart accelerated faster and with less drama.
Took the test, got a 100. It was a small car, and I had driven my mother's 88 Lincoln Towncar quite a bit, parallel parking the Mustang and maneuvering it was child's play in comparison.
because he rolled over the blue one multiple times.
Wow, I haven't seen much of Top Gear, but I knew they liked to make folks drive old beaters. I think I've alarmed some folks around me from cackling so loud every time he rolls the car over. (hence the training wheels, Bluff Dweller)
I took drivers ed in 10th grade, took my test in a 1972 Oldsmobile 98 four door sedan with all the bells and whistles. It was a car my mom bought for the house car and I was the only one with a drivers license, thus I became the chauffeur for my mom and younger brother and all my friends. Big car, had four seat belts in back and a trunk big enough to stuff four people in, but I never did try it. Gas was only 65¢ a gallon and it had a huge gas tank, but got only like 9 mpg. The car was nearly 20 feet long and was like driving a boat on land and parking a beast that long was a chore. I learned to drive at 16 on a 1949 Dodge power wagon fire engine.
A 1972 Dodge Maxivan. This is the van that ambulance companies used as it was so fricking big. The one point off was for "too wide of turn", had to turn wide with that puppy as long as it was, 20 feet long.
