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.

    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.

    Thanks! Plenty of people questioned my choice - I questioned my choice 😂 - even as I was dropping hundreds on getting the dual controls installed.

    But honestly, it has been such a perfect choice ❤️ thankfully the gearbox fucked up IN warranty! But apart from that one got no complaints. The learners love it as well!

    Plenty of horsepower gives them confidence on the motorways 😎 and the power delivery is so smooth ❤️ it is literally just a Golf with a sporty body

    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.

    Fairly easy. VW Golf. Almost all Driving School cars here are some sort of VW Group Cars (VW, Audi, Skoda)

    Aside from all the jokes I got about being a 16 year old boy driving a pink car, I actually mostly loved that tracker... soft top was my biggest bitch in the winter months it was impossible to get it warm.

    Mine has the opposite problem, it's impossible to keep cool in the summer! Suzuki probably wasn't installing top of the line AC units in the 90s and 26 years and 240000 miles later it's probably a bit worn out.

    But they are super fun to drive!

    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?

    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.

  • 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.

    A Ford Fiesta, if I remember rightly.

    Fun fact, my grandfather never took a driving test since he got his license back in the days when all you needed to do was hand over five shillings.

    My mother's car, a 1981 or so Dodge Aries K-car. I guess those who went to a driving school got their license from there as well? Back then we just got a short course in high school, drove a few times with the instructor, and then had to go to the DMV with our own car to do the actual test.

    It took two times. The first time I had trouble starting the car (because it was a Dodge/Chrysler POS) so that instructor denied me after the third try at cranking it. Of course it rattled 17 year old me. Second time (different place, different instructor) went a lot smoother, only issue was my slamming on brakes for a red light, but that probably helped me rather than running it.

    '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.

    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.

    '99 Renault Megane scenic 1.9D (manual)

    it was dangerously slow. And I failed my first test because of it. I was supposed to merge in front of a truck, but i simply couldn't get up to speed in the space i had. The exam lady refused to believe me that it couldn't.
