Realize that 99% of things we are anxious over are not really big deals at all. No one died. No one is critically injured. Who cares if someone is waiting behind you, one day someone will have to wait for them too. It's a dent. You were destined to get a dent, it's a car.

I know what you mean about panicky feelings and not being able to navigate. I've been on the east coast for a year and with no mountain to get my bearings, I have TWO (yes TWO) GPS thingys in my car. The installed one (which if you are getting a new car SKIP the built in one, they stink!) and one that has all my favorites in it, a Garmin Nuvi. I still get lost. But you have to laugh about it. And sometimes when you get really lost...you find really cool places...
