> If you are learning to drive, try to learn on an automatic. You have enough to do contending with traffic, pavement markings, signs and electric signals. After you learn to drive, you may want to switch to a manual transmission so you can really enjoy driving. Anybody with the brains of a goldfish can learn to push in the clutch and change gears.

Heh heh. I'm not even bothering with manual transmission yet. At least, not until I actually begin to *see* other things on the road; I'm too often stuck in my own little world to pay attention. (I just wasn't made for driving, I guess...)

Got any suggestions on actually being able to enjoy driving, rather than fear for one's life while doing same? ;-)
