"Starting the 1935 Duesenberg SSJ’s engine is a rather complex process: Pull out the metal organ-stop choke from the hand-engine-turned metal dashboard; turn the tiny brass key clockwise one detent; retard the spark with one of the beaded metal sliders on the black Bakelite steering wheel; lightly press the giant shoe-shaped throttle pedal; and yank on the cable-actuated knurled starter knob until it almost collides with the S-shaped floor shifter that’s topped by a black doorknob."

She's perfect, but I imagine that she still would need two or three tries before she could do that sequence cleanly. I suppose it's possible that the SJ is simpler than the SSJ, but I wouldn't bet a bent penny on that.

Even if she does pick it up quickly, she still doesn't have a driver's license.
