    I'll drive you around in my Toyota Camry 2017 SE. America's most popular midsize sedan for the last 12 years.
    With a wide, low stance, sleek roofline, and chiseled bodylines, the 2017 Toyota Camry is the midsize sedan made to turn heads. Combine its sporty style with a smooth ride and responsive handling, a refined interior, and the peace of mind from Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+, and Camry offers drivers a package that’s hard to beat.
    Celebrating over 40 years in America, the Toyota Camry is available in 18 different choices, offering a model for nearly every budget and taste. Whether it’s an electrified powertrain with the Toyota Hybrid System, an economical four-cylinder or punchy six-cylinder, Front or All-Wheel Drive, a stylish Nightshade Edition, or the performance-enhanced TRD model, Camry has drivers covered.
    The look up front is what distinguishes the comfort-oriented LE and XLE grades from the sport-oriented SE and XSE for 2017. The front fascia for the Camry LE and XLE grades shows a defined lower intake area. The gas version of the LE grade also features a 17-inch alloy wheel design, while the XLE features an 18-inch alloy wheel. The SE and XSE grades show off a bold lower fascia shape featuring a honeycomb style grille and side vent inserts, plus side vent accents.

    Lyrics:
    I'd really like you to know
    I'll have to catch a train to your show
    I'm an adult aged twenty five
    I failed my driving test 18 times
    I'm a burden to my mates
    I make them drive me to all my dates
    I know it's something that they all hate
    But I'm never gonna get my P plates
    I failed on my test the first time
    # I'll be your instructor, Graeme
    Because I crossed a lane with two unbroken lines
    # Unfortunately that is an automatic fail
    The second time that I failed on my driving test
    # Look out it's Ruby Field back again
    I drove the car into a hornet's nest
    Yeah, why would I ever get my licence
    When I can get pissed and my mates will drive me home
    Cause you know that I'm just a bird who advocates
    The benefits of never getting her P plates
    And if my Uber rating sucks
    I can wake up my best mate
    # Ruby, it's 4 o'clock in the morning
    # Why are you calling me?
    ~Can you pick me up?
    ~I need you to drive me to Bondi Beach by sunrise.
    # Okay, but this is the last time. Where are you?
    ~I'm in Canberra, good bye.
    I'm really great in the passenger side
    I go to sleep the entire ride
    If you want me to navigate
    I will give directions, but 10 seconds too late
    Just thought I should let you know that
    I forgot my wallet
    So I can't split the fuel
    Who would ever want a licence
    And I had a driving instructor called Will
    When we started he was actually super chill
    But he freaked out and had a heart attack
    As I was backing into traffic, f**king hell
    Yeah, I'm never gonna get my licence
    Cars cost too much so why not blackmail my friends
    Cause you know that it doesn't ever bother me
    That children can drive when they're 16
    Yet legally I am not allowed to drive
    It doesn't ever bother me
    Deep down inside, maybe just a little bit
    Deep down inside, maybe it bothers me

    • @shrubert
      @shrubert 10 місяців тому

      If I can be extremely boring for a minute-
      There are basically two paths to getting your Ps (a provisional license with restricted rights and, in NSW where Sydney is at least, a blanket speed limit of 90km/h. But will at least let you drive unsupervised) in australia.
      I’m going to be generalising a bit because road and transport legislation is a state governed issue and therefore not necessarily universal across the country.
      For both paths, you need to have already passed a theory exam (known as Road Ready). In Canberra, at least, your high school will provide the training and test for you free of charge, though you only get a limited number of attempts before you need to go pay for it and do it on your own time (I think it’s 3 attempts? Been a while since I did it).
      Passing Road Ready will get you your L plates, a learner’s license that says you can drive only while supervised by someone with a full license. And this is where ‘Ruby’ is stuck.
      From here is where you get the two paths- there’s the competency based method and the one-off test.
      One-off test is exactly what it sounds like. You get in a car with an instructor (once you’ve logged the required number of hours of practice, which I think is 180) and they test you on 31 separate manoeuvres. A lot of people who take this option do so because it’s cheaper. You can do all your practicing with your parents or friends who have their full license and only need to pay an instructor for the test.
      The competency based method is said to be much easier, though. Here you have lessons with an instructor and they will teach you the 31 manoeuvres (aka the 31 competencies) and, when they feel you are ready, then they will test you on them one at a time. Once the testing of the competency begins you’re supposed to only have 3 attempts at performing it successfully (which you’re also given in the one-off test). This is much more expensive because you have to have a minimum of 35 lessons with an instructor to pass.
      All this is to say- I’m fairly sure my instructor just passed me to get rid of me. So much for having three attempts at the competency. We started *every lesson* with three attempts at a reverse parallel park. I must have had about 25 overall goes at that thing and eventually he was just like…. ‘Fine. Let’s call that passed.’
