Yes, I said that. I'll elaborate. The rustiness I experienced was not so much that my driving skills had disappeared. It was more a hyperawareness of piloting a big piece of machinery through traffic at high speeds with clearances of only a couple of feet. It took about an hour for that feeling to wear off.
