So I am going to hijack this thread. I absolutely feel for the original poster.

Well I bought a car three days ago - and I am nervous as hell to drive it. It is new and I am afraid of doing something to it. It is new and I am unfamiliar with it. I am new to the City and don't know my way around. I am out of practise of basic skills like parallel parking. So, in three days I have had the car out twice for a total of perhaps 15min. She has sat collecting dust basically since it was delivered to me.

Nervousness barely describes the problem.

Now, back to the original poster...

How have things been going? Were you able to drive this week and how did that go for you? Has doing so with a supportive person been helpful?
