That's funny, because I think after driving (well, being a passenger!) in the US, I'm now *more* convinced that roundabouts are a good thing. I dislike the stop/start driving that we get here, where you're always having to stop at a 4-way stop or a traffic light, and in some of those instances a roundabout would help keep traffic flowing better, saving fuel too.

Congrats on getting the car though, I'm very jealous! We don't have one here and just rent occasionally and I really miss the flexibility of just being able to get up and go where I want.
