67 VW beetle, toughest damn thing I ever owned. I punished that car as a teenager and it ran and ran and ran.

No. They had done away with the push button shifter idea by '68.

I passed with a 1956 DeSoto 276 ci hemi push button. I could be wrong about the engine. My Dad said that was the best car he ever owned.

Took my one boy down the local DMV to get his unconditional license (no restrictions due to his age).
Went in with the 2002 Honda accord.
He passed the first time.
Funny thing, he didn't even have to drive a vehicle with someone in the car with him. Heck, he didn't even have to drive a car. Go figure...
He did record 60 hours of driving with us in different conditions, and he's actually not a bad driver IMO, and I can only assume that he didn't have to drive because all of his hours were documented, but I'm not certain if I'd be taking parents at their word and documentation.

I don't remember if I did identical. Probably.

Brings up an interesting question. I pulled a UPS truck out of a ditch last winter. Female driver. She said she got stuck trying to back up and rear camera wasn’t working. She said female drivers don’t have to prove backing skills to drive for UPS, But the male drivers do. I hope this is not true.I bet the parallel parking test was challenging!!!
