Pull up in your fast car.

Does this sentence mean:
You drive your car like crazy.

Does this sentence mean:

No. Asking someone in a car to "pull up" is not a comment on their driving.

I don't think this is an order,
I think she is describing him.

 

[Raymott]

I don't think this is an order,
I think she is describing him.

I'm sorry, but there is no possible way that "Pull up in your fast car" could be a description of someone.
"He always pulls up outside my place in his fast car" could be part of describing someone's habits.

I can't see how this could be a description either.

NOT A TEACHER

Pull up is a particular phrase meaning to stop a motor vehicle such as a car or van. I'm not sure where it comes from, but possibly the action of pulling up the handbrake once stopped?

Another sentence for you (a request to the driver of a car by a passenger):

Pull up outside the shop, I need to buy some milk.

Make sense?

 

[bagzi94]

You're right. It is part of describing someone's habits.

 

[Raymott]

You're right. It is part of describing someone's habits.

No it isn't. Only the completely different sentence that I wrote could be.
Your sentence "Pull up in your fast car." remains an imperative statement telling the driver what to do.
