Line 90:
* Lampshaded and averted in [[Hyperion|Endymion]] when Raul considers stealing a thopter from a fishing platform. He quickly dismisses the idea because he has no idea how to fly it. Raul notes that in the holodramas he has seen, the hero was capable of flying anything they could steal. Raul, on the other hand, had evidently "missed Hero Basic Training."
* In ''[[Artemis Fowl (Literature)|Artemis Fowl]]'', fish smuggler Doodah Day can allegedly drive any vehicle, be it human, fairy or otherwise.
* In Stanisław Lem's novel
* Parodied in [[Samurai Cat]], where Miowara Tomokato is qualified to drive a laundry list of motorcycles, automobiles, airplanes, blimps, boats, jetskiis, and [[The Hunt for Red October|Typhoon-class submarines.]]
* Averted in [[Harry Turtledove]]'s Timeline-191 series. When Lucien Gaultier proudly shows his daughter Nicole his brand-new Chevrolet, she absoultely insists on driving it. Once she gets behind the wheel, she can't even turn it on, because the controls were nothing like her husband's Ford.
