When you take a guy who usually drives an old beater
And give him a fast, nice rental car while he’s out of town, you get some issues.
Like, boy, this car is great, and accellerate into a turn, then brake/accel brake/accel brake/accel all the way around the turn till you drive your passengers insane.
At least I was the designated driver one night so I could drive like someone who understood what “Apex” meant.
The phrase “Drive like you stole it” comes to mind.

..and never drove a car before!
I once took a day trip with a driver who had only two settings: “Mash the accelerator” and “mash the brake”. (She hit 35 mph between two stops signs that were one block apart.) We spent hours that day on winding country roads, and on the way back, after sundown, it started sleeting. I made peace with the fact of my mortality that night.
She often complained that her five-year-old car was already breaking down, and couldn’t for the life of her figure out why.
