Lived there, drove there, believe me you will be happier learning in New Mexico. Do a little practice shooting, dodging, running, hiding before you go to the battle zone. Not only do you have to battle the cars, cabs, trucks, buses, emergency vehicles, there are also the ferocious pedestrians, and the windshield washing bandits.

Good luck with the new car and enjoy

Thank You for a morning smile -I had forgotten the bandits.Here the major risk is from people who have yet to discover that their cars(anything from antiques to mad max vehicles] have lights . Best Alan
