Taking a Test Drive


Mario: I’d like to test drive the new Racer. 


Leah: Sure, all prospective 1 buyers can take one of our cars for a test drive. May I see your driver’s license 2


Mario: Here it is. 


Leah: Okay, come with me. Why don’t you get into the driver’s seat and I’ll get into the passenger seat? All right, please buckle 3 up and you can drive it around the block. 


Mario: I think I may need to drive it a little farther to get a feel for the car. 


Leah: That’s fine, but you’ll need to slow down! 


Mario: Slow down? How will I know if this car is right for my driving style if I don’t put the pedal to the metal and put it through its paces? 


Leah: I understand you want to get a complete driving experience, but unless you stop driving recklessly, we’ll need to return to the car lot. 


Mario: You call this reckless? This isn’t reckless. It’s how I always drive. If you don’t hear the tires screeching 4, you’re not driving a car the way it should be driven. 


Leah: Well, an interesting way of looking at it. Uh, I think we’d better head back to the car lot. I’m feeling a little nauseous. 


Mario: Let me guess. You’ve never ridden in a car driven by a racecar driver before. 


Leah: That’s right. 


Mario: Then this is your lucky day!
