My significant other, Kate is a very energetic bicyclist. Over the years, she has formed an enthusiasm in struggling to keep up with me, while I drive my car. And, it is a rather fast Volvo C70, Light Pressure Turbo Convertible (2002); combine with a 2.4L 190 hp I5 engine and a 5-Speed automatic transmission.
It is a scenic route to the office as it is all back roads. The first two miles is a stretch of curvy paths with a few stop signs, and the rest of the nine miles is a straightaway. When I keep a featherlike foot on the gas, she can usually keep up on the curvy paths. But, when we reach the straightaway, she is left in the dust. Besides, my car is fairly speedy, as I barely hit the gas, I would be cruising at 45 mph.
Is that mean of me to leave her in the dust?
