Was it the in-the-city speeding, or the speeding in general?

Then while we were having lunch one of the guys that is part of Robbie's house flipping project called asking where he was and how much was completed on the house (had a few things to take care of before final inspection, such as putting the doors back on the bathrooms). He and his roommate took care of most of it Saturday night, so they would have had plenty of time to get it done before Wednesday morning. Anyway he told Scott he was up in the Seattle area "just driving around." A few hours later he called back bitching at him. The only thing left to finish on the house was installing the hand rail for the basement stairs, so not a huge deal.
On the way home I offered to let him drive Bella (

He's been teasing me ever since that I was trying to kill him.

Yikes! Sorry Bunny, when I asked Robbie if you guys were behind the bus, I assumed you were RIGHT behind the bus cuz I couldn't see you. At the time when I called it seemed like it would be easy for you to just pop around the bus and catch up to us, or at least be able to see where we were taking the exit to Kirkland/Juanita so you could follow easily.
I agree with Kristopher, Robbie REALLY wouldn't like our normal mode of driving
- like the first curvy road when we took off from Fort Dent! Yeah, it probably was a good thing you got separated from us on Mercer Island. We couldn't push it very much though because there were too many bicyclists, especially on the really twisty parts on East Mercer Way.
As far as trying to kill Robbie.... he should just consider it payback for all his hunting trips

Man, every time I make or agree with comments about some "punk kid" it hurts to think I'm old enough to think it. Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like you had quite the ordeal.
Make him ride with you on a good road once for every hunting trip he takes.

I don't think he's used to anything fun that involves driving. He drives a Chrysler Pacifica, which is a big boat of an SUV. He says he loves it. For him I think driving is purely utilitarian and fun doesn't enter into the picture. He also may be "jumpy" because at one point in the past he had mentioned being in two different cars that had been totalled, one of them I know for sure being his, that he was in while he let his friend drive, who crashed it. He had mentioned this shortly after we started dating because he wanted to teach me how to drive and I didn't want him to. I was scared that I might wreck his car or something. He insisted he didn't care and had full coverage on it. I still didn't want to. I hired a driving school instead.

Well, the driving school was a better choice than a Pacifica driver.
I was lucky enough to be taught by a former Pro Stock Car Racer, his daughter (my mom), and a sports car enthusiast (my dad).
Any wonder I get terrible mileage, but do it rather quickly.
