![“I hate it [driving] more than anything in the whole world. I'm just an awful, awful driver. I get lost, I hit things (parked cars, one moving car, a pole in my parking garage). Just when I think I got everything under control, I'll miss seeing something out of the corner of my mirror.” quote by Rachael Leigh Cook](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/dfb/rachael-leigh-cook-15541_awful_i-hate-it-driving-more-than-anything-in_2264696.jpg)
