I don't really understand what you mean by that.
In what way does self not associate with self?

I do note that you are trying to call methods of
the class from inside other methods but not prefixing
them with self.

Is that what you mean? For example...

>           print("1: Car")
>           print("2: Truck")

Should be

self.getmakeTruck()

Also, you don't seem to have a method or function called getmaker()?

Although, from an OOD point of view those are terrible methods
to have in a Vehicle class! There should be Vehicle sublasses
for both car and truck... But those are design choices.
You seem to be asking about code.
