This song is not about driving at all. It's a metaphor about a lifestyle. Came upon it differently, but I live this lifestyle.
^I agree with this interpretation wholeheartedly, well done indeed. Anyone who thinks this song has anything at all to do with operating a motor vehicle in any capacity is completely missing the point.
I think it is also important to note that the use of "Eighty" is more than likely a reference to "Ada Wong" from the popular Resident Evil video game series. We know that both the song and the video game came out at relatively the same time, and if you say "Eighty" slow it kind of sounds like you might say "Ada Wong" instead. Lead singer Max Collins knew this, and used it as the basis of this song and quite possibly the basis for the entire album.
