　　We are sorry for the delay in posting this episode. This episode is for you if you love cars, plan on driving around Canada, or are curious about more vocabulary related to these topics.

Find out if you’re a backseat driver! Enjoy the ride!

　　Harp:  Can you drive a manual car?
Maura:  To be honest, I learned a little probably a little bit, probably about 10 or 15 years ago now and it was difficult. I liked it but I stalled the car a lot.
Harp:  Same thing. I learned how to do it a long time ago.
Maura:  So sometimes when you’re driving, and this is something that annoys everybody, you might have a backseat driver.
Harp:  I have to admit I’m a backseat driver.
Maura:  It’s annoying, isn’t it?
Harp:  It’s probably annoying for the driver, but because I’m the one doing it, I don’t think it’s annoying.
