Does he think he isn’t taking it over the cliff?
He seems to have abandoned those metaphors.
I have to admit... one time the corvette said something besides “faster”. On the turnpike with the top down trying to see what the top end was. It said “ARE YOU CRAZY!!!!!” And it had to SHOUT it because there was a heck of a lot of wind noise.
