Plot[]
Eddie finally gets his driver's license and he, Chelsea, and Raven pitch in to buy a car, but it turns out not to be what they expected. Eddie tells them that they can vote to where they will go on a two/thirds majority. While Eddie goes to buy Racing stripes for the car, Chelsea and Raven decorate it with pink fleeces and fruit. Raven and Chelsea abuse Eddie's two/thirds policy and get to go anywhere they want. When they are at a country store, Eddie leaves them and then gets arrested for being the Pink Bandit, a suspect in a rash of neighborhood robberies. Chelsea goes to help and then gets arrested, then Raven dresses as a lawyer and tries to help and also gets arrested. Finally, the real suspect is found and looks identical to Eddie (the suspect was a man impersonating a woman). Meanwhile, Stanley tricks Cory into buying a cologne that attracts dogs. Cory sprays all the cologne on Stanley.

Trivia/Goofs[]
- Under California law, Eddie shouldn't have driven Raven and Chelsea around since he can't carry passengers under 20 for the first year with a provisional license.
- When Raven is in the disguise, you can see her real hair.
- The car Raven, Chelsea, and Eddie buy is a Volkswagen Type 181, although in the United States it is more commonly known as the Thing.
- How did Raven and Chelsea get the car painted on the same day it was bought?
- The numberplate on the front of the car is IE49965 but the numberplate on the back of the car is 4GWB922.
- Eddie's license says he's 5'10". However, when he stands at the police line-up, he measures in at 5'6".
- In the Disney Plus Print of this episode, at the end of the intro, Raven doesn't say her catchphrase, "Oh Snap!"
- If Eddie took the car out for a spin and gets pulled over for speeding while the girls shop at the store, how do Chelsea and Raven get to the station? On foot? Unless there's a bus system way out in the country.
- Since when is a criminal allowed to use a cell phone in jail?
- The country scene while they were driving was clearly a green screen.
- In Raven's vision, the car is blue. However, when they see it in reality, it is pink.
- It is said that some of the fans didn't like this episode because of how Raven and Chelsea abuse the voting and make Eddie do things he didn't like.[citation needed]
- In the last scene Raven is heard saying "just like a fruity n*gga" to Eddie.
- In the Disney Plus version, the above scene has been edited out but if you listen closely you can instead hear Raven say "just like a ratchet n*gga" to Eddie. (This possibly means that there's other takes of Raven saying lines similar to this)
- The episode title is a reference to the 80s film Driving Miss Daisy starring Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy where Freeman's character drives around Tandy's character.
