The test that Corey Haim is put through in this film must be about 100 times harder than the real US DMV driving test (which I've heard is a doddle!). -- Last edit: 2006-12-29 23:07:16

carcrasher88 ◊ 2012-01-21 02:39	I looked pretty close. It's four Escorts, two Pontiac T-1000s. -- Last edit: 2012-01-21 02:41:30

Maybe one fleet order was for manual cars and the other for automatics. In any case this movie's the only time I'd ever seen DMV fleet cars being used for driving tests.
