[Residents of 1247 Williams may notice the car is gone, and it's not dear old not-dad who's driving it about the neighborhood like a maniac today. Actually, it's Crowe driving it about the neighborhood like your grandma on Sunday.

He had a few weeks of driver's ed back home, and studied up on it while here in Mayfield. But he's never been behind the wheel before. And, well, being Crowe, he doesn't want to be a bother and make anyone have to teach him, so he's decided to get some practice. How hard could it be? It seemed simple enough, right?

Yeah, right.

It's not going so well for him, but he's not giving up yet! He can be found in several places today driving around town:

- blocking up traffic driving SUPER SLOW. He's too afraid to take it over 25 or so. When someone honks at him, he makes a squeaking noise, speeds up for a few seconds before slowing down again.
- taking a turn too sharp or too wide, and running into various things, or....people?! Look out, innocent bystanders! He'll miss the occasional traffic sign, too focused on driving.
- The family car has seen better days since dear ol' Milkman Dan has gotten into town, and occasionally there's some malfunctioning. Maybe the bumper as fallen off, perhaps the radiator has started to spout steam. Nothing to panic over, right? Except this is Crowe. Of course there's some panicking.
- attempting to parallel park. OH THE HUMANITY. Pray that's not your car he's parking by.
- a surprise empty whiskey bottle has rolled out from under the seat and lodged itself under the pedals. From within the car can be heard "OhGodOhGodOhGod---!" Better get out of his way, Mayfield!]

It doesn't look that way to me.

...E-everyone's got to start somewhere.

I would suggest that 'the ditch' is not a good place to start.

[He sighs. Goddamnit.]

Yes, well, I-I don't need your "help".

You'd be surprised. I could make the car fly.

I'm sure you can do a lot of things, that doesn't mean I want you to.

That sounds like a challenge.

[Giving you a look, Crowe decides now is a good time to get this car out of the driveway and AWAY from you. It's not smooth but he manages it.]

[Thanks for distracting him, because now he DOES slip right over the curb. Whatever, he didn't need that muffler. DRIVING AWAY FROM YOU NOW.]

HE STOLE MY MONEY!
