Sounds like the A-Typical driver on the roads today?

I know how to drive but I have no idea how the car operates.

Can you point to the transmission or tell me if you have plenty of brake fluid.

Does it matter what brand of car you run?  nope.  OS choice to me is
the same thing.  I don't buy a car on a brand name, I buy it for what
it does and what it can do for me.

YMMV
