Make sure that you have a LOT of free space for when the car goes out of control. 
And tires are not cheap.... so be careful on those burnouts.

If you never tried karting, now is the time. It will teach you some car control without the danger of destroying anything.
Usually I go to an empty parking with a new car and try some 'emergency situations' to understand how the car reacts and what happens when you brake extremely hard or start sliding. Then when it happens in traffic it is easier to keep control as it will not scare you. This saved me on a number of occasions.

*Gandalf who took advanced drivers course in real life but never managed to keep a car in one piece in SA *

[Watti]
