stick shift and safety belt

patrick let me borrow his car, a miata stick shift, so i could get some shit done at my lab and grab my running clothes. i only killed it once getting here and it was no big deal since it was all downhill.

i have some great anxiety about driving back to patrick's on the top of capitol hill, however, as it is now all up some very steep fucking hills.

if i just hide at my house, he'd get the picture, take the bus to my place and drive us both (me and the car) back, right?
