I was going to take it in a 1987 Toyota Camry, manual transmission, but the clutch burned up (not my fault... Maybe), and my parents didn't want to get it fixed. I took the test in the driving school's only manual transmission car, which was... A gray sedan, with a second brake pedal for the passenger.

Manual transmission, 1982 SAAB 900. It was canary yellow in 1981 when it was made. It was what I called dog puke yellow by the time I learned to drive in '95-'96.
AKA a sturdy shitbox
Imaginary. I've never taken a driver's test or had a driver's license.
I am, however, fully instrument-rated on my local urban mass transit.
Which mass transit vehicle did you pass your test in? How did parallel parking go?

Not a bad way to gather some security question answers I guess
To anyone reading this, generate a password for your security answer and stick it in your password manager. It’s safer than trying to remember a fake security answer and much safer than using a real security answer.
I just use nonsense answers or answers that make absolutely no sense to anyone else. (Inside jokes and the like)
PIece of shit
1985 Volvo 240 station wagon. Puke colored.
1981 Ford LTD station wagon in 1990
2001 Pontiac Grand Prix I'll never forget, hell of a car
1993 Dodge Caravan
Brazilian '97 Chevrolet S10 very similar to this one:
The Honda Security Question Scraper
Car
I know nothing about cars
Mine was definitely a car too
1998 Ford Escape. Pretty reliable car as long as we kept driving it. My mom sold it to a friend for $500 in 2020. He went on vacation for a week and it died 😆
Sedan
Yugo 45
Very much like this one
Kia Pride. First generation. Falling apart, basically a soda can with wheels. Clutch so atrocious that I basically had to relearn how to drive during those fifteen minutes. Allegedly someone I knew got one that didn’t even have a gas pedal, just a relatively high idle.
Only the finest public property here in Lebanon.
bicycle I think
Fairly easy. VW Golf. Almost all Driving School cars here are some sort of VW Group Cars (VW, Audi, Skoda)

Mom's green 94 Ford Taurus. But I learned to drive in Dad's 89 rust brown Honda Civic hatchback with a manual transmission.
F.A.P. 1314 truck 6 years older than me.
FAP truck
Cruising around with the boys in that thing
I passed in 2007 with a VW Polo ❤️
At the moment, my learners are passing in a 2015 VW Scirocco 😎
Took my test in 1997 in a 1994 magenta geo tracker with a stick shift.
I daily a newer version of this car from 1999, also with a stick shift but no 4wd.

chevy caprice classic
Some Audi, it was quite nice and new and the instructor would pet it and whisper to it every time I stalled the engine during lessons.
Yep it was a Ford Datamine
1969 Mustang
Oldsmobile Delta 88. I learned to drive in the largest car the driving school had. The thinking was if I could maneuver that beast everything else should be easy. I guess it worked?
That's a beauty
Like most Brits, a Vauxhall (Opel) Corsa.
Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1998 model I think
Shitheap.
Mark 2 Volkswagen Polo.
BMW 118i. Shittiest turn signals I have ever used. Come to think about it, maybe that is the reason BMW drivers avoid using them.
VW Golf
Toyota Yaris
null (haven't taken a test yet and don't have a reason to)
'96 Saturn Wagon in red. Mom bought it after a car accident left her unable to drive a manual transmission for a year when I was a freshman. She made me learn to drive in it, then as soon as I passed my test she brought herself a brand new Honda CRV with manual transmission and gave me the Saturn. I drove it until I finished graduate school in 06, I gave the Saturn back and she gave me $15k to buy a new car of my choice as a graduation present. My new husband and I chose a Ford Focus wagon, manual transmission, which we drove happily until it's final demise in 2023. Mom sold the Saturn to a friend in the next state of over for a few grand but she drove the poor thing into a flooded road and killed it less than a year later.
I used to have a little Saturn stick shift. It was the best car I ever had. Hated to see them go out of business.
