Analysis of The Drive

dk debell 1956 (So Cal)



Reckless Unchecked Momentum
Random Lefts and Rights
Unpredictable Acceleration
Sudden Stops

Uphill Struggles and Downhill Coasting
Unexpected Hairpin Turns
Questionable Directions
No Roadside Service

Gridlock when the Hour is rushed
Unscheduled Detoured Destinations
Complicated Maintenance
No Insurance

Open Highway – Cruisin’ Speed
Jammin’ Tunes on the Radio
Overdrive on a Saturday
Scenic Route
