Who Was Behind the Wheel of Gatsby's Yellow Car? A Mystery Unravelled (Kinda)
So, you've read The Great Gatsby, huh? You're probably one of those literary snobs who thinks they're all high and mighty because they can quote Fitzgerald. Well, guess what? I've read it too, and I'm here to tell you that the whole "who was driving the yellow car" thing is way overblown.

Let's Break Down the Drama
First off, let's get one thing straight: Myrtle Wilson was not a speed bump. She was a real person, with a life (albeit a pretty crappy one). But let's not let that get in the way of a good mystery, shall we?
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
The real question is, who cares who was driving? I mean, seriously, it's not like we're going to bring them back to life and say, "Hey, you know that whole running-over-someone thing? Not cool."
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.
The Suspects
- Daisy Buchanan: The obvious choice, right? She's got the nerves of a caffeinated squirrel and a penchant for dramatic exits. Plus, she's married to a total jerk, so she's probably got some pent-up aggression.
- Jay Gatsby: Our boy Gatsby. All that green light stuff was just a cover-up for his reckless driving habits. Let's face it, the guy was obsessed with appearances, and hitting someone with his car would definitely put a dent in his image.
- Nick Carraway: Okay, hear me out. Maybe he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or maybe he was trying to impress Jordan Baker with his reckless driving skills. Who knows?
The Real Culprit
But let's be honest, the real culprit here is the roaring twenties. A time of jazz, flappers, and apparently, a lot of people getting hit by cars. It was a dangerous era, people. We can't blame one person for the societal issues of the time.
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.

How to Solve the Mystery (Probably Not)
So, you're still determined to figure out who was driving? Fine, be that way. Here are some tips:
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
- How to become a literary detective: Read between the lines. Look for clues in the text. Or, you know, just watch the movie.
- How to throw a Gatsby-themed party: Because, let's face it, that's really what everyone wants. Just don't let anyone drive drunk.
- How to avoid getting hit by a car: Pay attention to your surroundings. Don't jaywalk. And for the love of all that is holy, don't step in front of a yellow car.
- How to write a better mystery novel: Create believable characters, a compelling plot, and avoid clich�s. Oh, and don't make the reader spend half the book wondering who was driving a car.
- How to let go of the past: It's okay to not know everything. Sometimes, mysteries are better left unsolved.
So there you have it. The truth about the yellow car is probably lost to history. But hey, at least we had some fun speculating.
