When I rent a car, I make sure to take a few minutes to understand the controls. Car controls are evolving they've changed a lot in 5 years. There are read outs for what kind of gas mileage you are getting and all kinds of stuff. Check out the satellite radio.

Then comes scanning traffic and learning to be aware of what is going on around me. Feeling how people are driving so aggressively and impatiently is a shock. But I know I need to follow their pace, so I pick it up as fast as I can.
