They go for a test drive in a used car in the first verse. Bruce doesn't go because he hates what a used car means.
In the second, they are probably sitting in the office or something, trying to get a deal on the car (or maybe a new one??), but they can't. The salesman eyes the dad's hands, sees that he's a working man and decides not to take a risk on him. More insult in Bruce's eyes.
The neighbors coming out to check out the car is yet another humiliation. In the last two verses, we are back with Bruce, waiting for his parents to get back from the test drive.
But the daughter is too young to notice all this. All she cares about is that it's a 'new' car! Honk! Honk!
You guys are hilarious!
The second verse doesn't happen in the car.
