I took the American driving test from a prior century, and it consisted of an elderly man clutching the bridge of his nose and describing the pain of his sinuses while occasionally looking up and telling me what he wanted me to do, then he complimented my Dad's truck's seat cover and passed me.

I hope you pass. I'd bet you will.

I took my driving test in my moms then car. A tiny little Pontiac that I was too tall for, and wound up curbing it when I had to park backwards in an alley. Big shock, I failed.

I never took my driving test because I'm poor and can't afford anything having to do with driving.

Just so you know the US lost 14 nuclear missiles during the Cold War, and the USSR is projected to have lost even more.

I took my driving test the day before I started work with the city and several days after they had assigned me a truck for work.

I don't know anything about cars, literally. I know one company made a van that looks like the one from Scooby Doo, and the other Italian racing car company used to make tractors. That's it.

Well FIAT used to make tanks...

They were not particularly great tanks, and frankly, that reflects in their cars.

FIAT is an Italian automobile manufacturer and they mostly are known for small hatchbacks like the Fiat 500. Ferrari is another Italian automobile manufacturer, but they do faster cars, largely luxury sports and super cars capable of over 200 mph, as well as a racing division in Formula 1.

Firstly I don't know what a hatchback is. Secondly, oh cool! So I assume that them and the other Italian company are what things like the sports cars in GTA are based on.

Just look up a few photos

Eventually when you go to buy your own car, you’ll see that a lot of affordable cars have sedan and hatchback variants. Hatchbacks tend to be more expensive. Sedans are your typical lowered trunk in the back cars. Hatchbacks open up into the cabin basically, the trunk goes kind of into the car. You can look them on google images if need be.

I just bought a Ford Focus sedan for example, which has a hatchback variant.

Hatchbacks are basically cars with a hatch-type rear door that opens upwards, and often a shared volume for the passenger and cargo areas. The Volkswagen Golf is one such example of a hatchback.

Yes.

Oh, the pit is yours. The money, however, passes right through the pit, into another dimension, never to be seen by you again.
