Long after the theme day, my girlfriend asks an existential question

She asked (slightly angrily) why do you keep speeding up between corners only to slow down again? I was on a twisty country road at the time.

I was a bit dumbfounded by this question. I mean I was doing it so I could get home in decent time and not hold up traffic. But lets take this further. From her point of view, why bother getting up to the speed limit ever? You’ll only have to slow back down at some point. Why bother driving anywhere, youll only end up back home where you started. Either shes a nihilist or just hates twisty roads. Probably both.

Haha despite her dislike for driving, I have no intentions of trading her in soon.

Take it a step further and add some powersliding, tire-smoking action.

“That’s why.”

Because... Revving through gears is fun? Also, you need to rail those corners a bit faster:)

Seems as if maybe the gf has yet to feel the Red Mist herself?? (a 100 hp E36 is still fun tho) Perhaps someone with an E39 M5 or similarly insane power could let her it drive for an hour or so... *bwahahaha* *rubs hands*

Alternate solution — you never even lift haha

In other news, seems like you may have earned “1/10 would trade” status in some quarters lol

(PS: if that’s offensive, I ain’t perfect btw; but excess is excess)

Abarth!! Seriously tho, best wishes...if enticing her to change her outlook isn’t a workable approach, here’s hoping for peaceful detente
