Actually, the hardest part is the "mirror" image mirrors.  The
mirrors are on the "wrong" sides.  Took me about 4 hours to
notice that I wasn't watching the mirrors (there weren't any
where I was looking for 'em).  I chose an automatic to avoid
the left-hand shifting problem -- kinda glad I did, 'cuz I
still had problems switching from Drive to Reverse and back.
