Driver Quote by Andrea Portes
““I am an excellent driver. In my mind. When nobody's watching. I could drive circles around you. And even East Los Viva. However, there is the small issue that in the human realm, when I am driving an actual vehicle, which is rare, and there is someone in the passenger seat, which is even rarer - I have a tendency to get nervous. And a bit neurotic. Okay, fine, let's just face it. I am a terrible driver.””
