My car (Winding Road, as I've taken to calling it) has taught me that:

cupholders are overrated in theory, until you actually try driving and holding a drink at the same time
zip ties will fast become your best friend
no matter how much you try to clean it, the light and windshield wiper switches will always be dirty
the backseat is just for show; nobody will fit back there, and even if they do, they won't be happy and will let you know that they're not every 5 minutes
automatic seatbelts, while they may seem like a convenience at first, absolutely suck ass
I should appreciate the smell of gas every time I step out of my car, and if not appreciate, at least get used to it
they're called "dummy locks" for a reason
you're not a wuss, the hood is freakishly heavier than one would expect
the cigarette lighter cover I stole from my parent's Quest doesn't quite fit and will fall off every time my arm brushes against it
changing oil = good thing when you actually do it on some type of regular basis
balding tires + icy roads = not fun when other cars are driving around
if you take your time, you can make your car look quasi-decent with just a spraycan paintjob
my car sucks compared to everyone elses

and that is what I have learned from my 240.
