Some of my PC have a car and no one has No shit driver. So nobody has any mechanical bonus when using them. But having a car means you're mobile, you have armor surrounding you, you can take people with you, bring back phat loot, etc.
Now, they sure use them to make moves. "I push him off the road !" is some kind of go aggro ("clear my way or I'll crash your car" with harm depending on the vehicle speed), "I want to get there first !" can be a seize by force (harm exchanged being caused by slamming against each other), etc. I found out you don't need No shit driver for driving to be fun.
But No shit driver is the shit. Getting from +1 to +2 to your rolls when behind the wheel ? Even with shitty stats that's rad. And the driver can easily get two stats at +2 after an advance, so they'll be even with another character taking No shit... with their own advance. I don't feel like the others having car deevaluates the driver.
