After doing a few of their events, street driving feels mundane; much due to the fact that I'm not a big fan of pulling 1g on winding public roads with trees, bicyclists, ditches, guardrails, and cars/motorcycles going in the other direction.

Skyline and Hwy 9 is very a nice drive though. I like stopping at Alice's (junction of 35 and 84) to check out all the exotics and motorcycles.

Dont practice on the road, you will hurt yourself or someone else.

Either go to a track day or go to an autox event.

if you dont know how to drive your car dont try it on the streets you could end up killing someone and all you can say is "i wanted to learn how to drive my car"

keep it on the track till you get used to the car
