Do you feel lost driving in any other car?

everytime i travel for work and get stuck driving an Impala, GrandPrix, or some other lovely american car it feels so nice to get back in one of my cars. big old boaty automatics just aren't fun to drive! though they are good for peeling out in! 
though even between my cars it's a bit weird. the S4 is much nicer inside and the car feels much more solid than the Evo. but the Evo is much more fun to drive and it makes the S4 feel like a dog when it comes to acceleration. the hardest thing about switching between the two though is the clutch pick-up point is a fair bit different and it always takes me a bit to get used to the clutch.

My Evo went into Mitsu for a syncro job and some other crap and they gave me a 05 Ford F-150 as a rental, so i got in, and headed toward work, and for some odd reason, i felt like i didnt know hwere i was going, i guess its cuz the car is like 10feet in the air, and everything is just way different. I guess im too used to my Evo, i go about places without even thinking about it and end up at my destination, wit the F-150, i had to actually think and remember where streets were. Weird...anyone else share this?

If I ever switch, it's into my dad's 339 whp S2000... I like doing U turns on 2 lane roads 
But it's bumpy and touchy as hell, one wrong move on the throttle and bye bye straight line.

yeah when i drive other cars it definitely feels different, i have no feel for the car and what it can and cant do and things like comfortable braking distances for red lights take a bit to figure out but i never feel actually lost as in i don't know where im going... thats a lil odd i think lol
When I drive my S10 it helps keep me in order. I get in my Evo and all I want to do is speed, race and tell people to get the F*** out my way. 
I drive my S10 to work 80% of the time now (60 miles min round trip). Then when I do drive the Evo it's great.
