Another thing, when passing, don't hammer the throttle and then change lanes. Change lanes and then open it up. They are different breed of car and can have a rather steep learning curve.

As I heard someone say, treat it like a loaded cannon. Make sure it's pointed where you want to go before you pull the trigger!

Stay safe!

When I was young and insane I had a 'glass bodied '27 roadster with a 501" Ford and a Doug Nash five speed. My friend Rick called it the "Mystery Machine", every time you grabbed a gear it was a mystery what direction the car was going to go!
