Learning to drive a car

Learning to drive a car is not a fun experience.
It is like Learning to ride a bicycle all over again;
Except this time,
It's a much faster,
More dangerous machine.

When I first learned to drive,
I quickly learned where the screeching brakes were,
Due to my tremendous paranoia,

Paranoia of crashing,
And wrecking the car into a
pile of flames,
And boy was I alert,
I was alert as a lion hunting his prey!

Being inside the car itself was not fun.
The car has a dark navy blue interior,
and no Air Conditioner
Which made it as hot as an oven,
At least 10 degrees warmer than the outside,
which was 85 degrees
I could smell the hot vinyl,
burning away
And I could fell it against my skin,
As my skin sweated salty bullets.
