oh. sorry to hear about your accident. You know if you are in another crash, that a bigger car would be safer, right? But i would feel the same way. I learned stick on my dad's 64 Buick Special, (3 speeds on the floor) and it does feel like driving a weird big swaying boat...
Maybe you should get one of those giant trucks that are like, 10 feet off the ground with huge car crushing wheels. Except, of course, you'd be scared to drive it...
I hate when people drive slow, especially between lights. I used to zip around obnoxiously in my little car. But you kinda have to do that here, and especially if you're driving in SF. Lanes disappear, the streets are narrow, busses smoosh in and out, bike messengers...you gotta be ready!
