Python Turtle: Trying to set a custom shape for my turtles from the poly function

I want to make it so that the shape of the cars are customized polygons (they have to be drawn, unfortunately) but they just show up as tiny little arrows instead. I'm not sure what to do and how to make it so that they show up as the cars that I've drawn, where the cars facing right show up as the carright shape and vice versa. This is my first time using Stack Overflow, so please be patient with me. Does anybody know how to help? I'm so stuck!!

#import modules
import turtle, random, time

#initiate screen
screen = turtle.Screen()
screen.bgcolor('darkgray')
screen.delay(0)

#initiate sprite
sprite = turtle.Turtle()
sprite.shape('square')
sprite.penup()
sprite.speed(0)
sprite.ht()

#initate player (clone of sprite)
player = sprite.clone()
player.shape('turtle')
player.fillcolor('forestgreen')
player.st()

#draw car (facing left)
turtle.begin_poly()

There are a couple of problems here. The first is that you're mixing object-oriented turtle with functional turtle. That is, you're having your turtle instance pen do all the motions, but you're extracting the polygon from the default turtle turtle which hasn't gone anywhere.

Fixing this, you'll get a mask image of your car. Here's the output of the simplification of your code below to show this:

enter image description here

Now we see the next issue. You can compose a turtle cursor out of multiple colored polygons (multiple Shape components). But each individual polygon is rendered in one color. So you have to take a different approach to your car design.

Finally, you need to consider the orientation of the shape you draw to get it in sync with turtle, and make sure that it has its center of mass at (0, 0) so it turns cleanly with left() and right().

# import modules
from turtle import Screen, Turtle
from random import randint

# initiate screen
screen = Screen()
screen.bgcolor('darkgray')

# draw car
pen = Turtle()
pen.speed('fastest')

Although GIF images are an alternative, they won't turn like polygons -- turtle will always show the same image regardless of direction. But with polygons, the turtle will turn appropriately with no additional effort.

That's impressive for Turtle. I was expecting Atari 2600 racecar sprites. If they're just going left & right, then you could screenshot those images, save them as a carleft.gif and carright.gif in the same directory as your Turtle script, then register or add the images and use those shapes.

screen .register_shape( 'carleft.gif' )
screen .register_shape( 'carright.gif' )

sprite .shape( 'carleft' )
player .shape( 'carright' )
