We had a couple instructors, one was an middle aged lady with a southern accent that believed an engine should never run at over 3000rpm, the other was a middle aged guy who always told stories about how he hates Chaldeans the whole time we drove.
What car(s) do you get to drive? My driving school has a couple '90s Tauruses, and a brand new Focus. The Tauruses were fine, but the Focus was ******* weird. I was getting on the freeway one time and it just wouldn't get up to speed on the on-ramp. I had my foot to the floor and the damn thing would barely even accelerate. Eventually I got up to speed, but holy **** it took a while. My driving instructor said "yeah I believe because I'm an experienced driver I could have been able to accelerate quicker than you". I had no words for that one... I'm glad I don't have to drive that Focus again because it was slow in both ways.
