Bart could see the appeal of cars as far as any high schooler could see that a car was a status symbol and if you had a car, you could go out and do things and pick up girls/guys in your car and be one of the cool kids.
Needless to say, Bart did not have a car. Actually, Bart didn't really want one either. They were too slow. Wally liked cars- like a lot; but Bart couldn't really get into the whole... car thing.
"I don't know how to drive a real car. I mean, I guess I do in theory, I've read a lot of stuff about it but... you know. Never really drove a car before." Outside of video games, of course.
