Dave white-knuckled it for the entire ride. It was evident that Zoe's excitement at the prospect of shopping brought out the worst of her driving habits.
The robo-cars that crowded the streets of the city avoided them when the Lambo got too close, letting her pass from the wrong side, cross over street lines and blaze through red lights. She payed more attention to what was playing on the radio than to the street. She switched stations incessantly until 'Pump It' by the Black Eyed Peas came on. Then she bounced in the driver's seat and turned the volume up all the way.
