Backseat Drivers

You’re two hapless road-users in the world’s least roadworthy car, and you have a long, long drive ahead of you. The driver can’t see where they’re going. The passenger can see, but can’t drive, and desperately shouts directions from the back seat. All while the car falls to pieces and the world does everything it can to ruin your day. Have a nice trip! Gramma take the wheel! As the driver, you have to contend with the car working as hard as it can against you and listen to your passenger if you’ll have any chance of reaching your destination. Ohhhh boy. Only the passenger can see where the car’s going, so you’re both at gramma’s mercy. Clear communication is key to keep the car from crashing! Smash, shunt, and crash your way through one big detour of a journey taking you up mountains, down subway tunnels, onto insane highways and through secret government facilities. Left! Left! No, RIGHT! Stop stop STOP!! The couple that jives together drives together. If the passenger gives good directions (and the driver can follow them) you’re guaranteed a smooth and blissful cruise. But when something goes wrong — which it will — it’s both of your faults. The car may be an ancient piece of junk, but they don’t make ‘em like they used to. Every component is swappable with something else. No brake pedal? No problem. Just snap a cassette tape where the pedal used to be. Good as new!
