UNDERSTANDING VEHICLES

Cars

• The Everyday Ride: Most of y’all will start here. Sedans, coupes, and hatchbacks are your typical everyday rides. Good for learning, cruising, and getting from A to B. They’re easy to handle and keep you lowkey.

• Examples: Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, Nissan Altima

SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles)

• Bigger and Bolder: You like to ride a little higher? SUVs give you more space, more power, and that “I’m in control” vibe. Just know, these things burn more gas and can be trickier to park. You’ve got to know what you’re doing.

• Examples: Ford Explorer, Jeep Cherokee, Chevy Tahoe

Trucks

• The Workhorses: Trucks are all about that power. You can haul stuff, tow things, and they handle tough terrain. But with all that muscle comes responsibility. Trucks are no joke, and driving them ain’t like driving your mama’s car.

• Examples: Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Chevrolet Silverado

Vans and Minivans

• For the Squad: Whether you’re rolling with a crew or loading up the fam, vans give you space for days. Perfect for rides where everyone needs a seatbelt, but don’t think you’re squeezing this into every parking spot with ease.

• Examples: Honda Odyssey, Chrysler Pacifica, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

Motorcycles

• Two Wheels, Big Thrills: If you’re about that fast life, motorcycles are a whole other level. They’re fun and quick, but they don’t offer much protection. One wrong move and it’s all over, so you better be sharp and have your license.

• Examples: Harley-Davidson, Yamaha, Honda CBR

Manual vs. Automatic

• Automatic: Most cars these days are automatic, meaning you don’t have to worry about shifting gears. You just put it in "Drive" and go. It’s simpler and easier for beginners.

• Manual (Stick Shift): Now, if you want to be a real OG, learn how to drive a stick. Manual cars require you to shift gears yourself. It takes skill, but once you master it, you can drive anything.
