[As Aaron rounds a bend in the road, he might suddenly become aware of an occupant in the passenger seat that he somehow managed to pick up without stopping or even knowing.
Leaning back in the seat, Slugger will simply grin and make no move to put on his seatbelt.]
[Unfortunately, despite his lack of safety restraints, he stays rooted in his seat throughout Aaron's loss of control and even manages to find it fun. His grin only gets bigger.]
[With perhaps more ease than is natural, Slugger shifts from passenger seat to driver seat where he sits looking at whatever gears are available and then down at the foot pedals below.
Better hope you're in the passenger's seat before he starts testing the gas pedal, Aaron, because that's the next thing he's going to do once he finds it underfoot.]
[After that initial lurch forward, Slugger gives it the gas again. He isn't good at keeping the wheel steady so the kart is drifting from lane to lane, miraculously avoiding any cars both parked and moving. The swerving is partially intentional because what fun is moving in a straight line, anyway?
[The cul-de-sac ahead poses a challenge but not one Slugger is unwilling to face. He starts to turn but realizes too late that he must take his foot off the gas to do this properly. The kart doesn't tip, but it certainly loses contact with the road as it blows through several front yards on an overly wide turn and sends a few trash bins flying.
The kart skids and fish-tails over a lawn but eventually Slugger gets it back onto the street again where it comes to an abrupt halt that nearly sends him tumbling over the wheel. Oh, so that's what the brake pedal does. He turns to Aaron in the passenger seat.]

And swerve!
Get's control again and keeps from crashing. Yeah, that wasn't creepy at all. Then again, Ai teleports in on him often enough.]]

It's safe right? He's Ai's friend or boyfriend or whatever right?]]
Ever been in a go kart?
[[Bounces up someone's driveway and down the side walk a little before swerving back into the street just for the fun of it.]]

It's pretty simple, right pedal is gas, left is break.
It doesn't reverse you have to turn around when you dead end.

He's laughing as they dodge the cars. So long as he doesn't get into an accident.]]

Ducking his head now from the trash and hopefully avoiding getting hit.]]
Holy crap...
Getting the hang of it?
[[What was that? It wasn't until they were bumping things that Aaron remembered crashing might hurt... a lot.]]
