A week ago I went some place for work and had a automatic rental. I passed 
where I was supposed to go and so used to my cars I
went to slap the clutch down and crank the wheel and to do a Uey(there was 
nobody around) what ended up being both feet on the
brake with the wheel pulled to the left. Poor little Contour, must have looked 
like the dukes of hazard or something.
  -Hey aren't you supposed to drive like that in a rental anyways?
