Season Two of Laverne and Shirley opens as Laverne (Penny Marshall) tries to talk Shirley (Cindy Williams) into co-financing a new car, the better to keep up with Laverne's rival motorist Pinky Tuscadero. There's just one tiny little problem: Shirley doesn't know how to drive. Undaunted, Laverne offers to give the nervous Shirley a few driving lessons, beginning with a simulated trip in their living room, using canned goods as steering wheel, dashboard controls, pedals etc. When time comes for the first real road test, Lenny (Michael McKean) and Squiggy (David L. Lander) tag along as "monitors"--with the expected riotous results.
