But when I'm having to stop what I've done for a long time, to
find out where/how to do it "here" - it throws me out. Very much like
getting a new car, and the light switch and wiper controls are
"backwards." Do not tell me that it is 'better'.
Better or not, to me, it's the same thing. Every time I've gotten a
new car, it took me only a few minutes to learn the difference from my
old one. Even if I rent a car, I get comfortable with its controls
very quickly.

And muscle memory - where you automatically reach (because for the
last ten years, that is where it was), and in the new car, it isn't
there. Ever stall a car out, because you forgot about the clutch
(Your regular car not having one), and in the 'emergency' you didn't
have time to think about it?


No, but I've stalled rental cars in Europe simply because it had been
so long since I drove a car with a clutch.


Exactly, you'd "forgotten" abut that 'detail'.



No. I hadn't forgotten about anything. I was way out of practice and
lost my skills at changing gears. I still knew exactly how to do it.
