Madame Marissa wanted to deal with her stress and she had to find a way to do it. She chose to use her pedal pumping to do it and that is why she chose to go and take her stick shift and then get in, rev it and speed off. As she drove, she found it easier to calm down and relax, something she had not been able to do in a while.
Madame Marissa was bored and she wanted to have a way to pass time and take her mind off certain things. So she got into her stick shift and she joined the evening traffic. She did not want to go to the country roads. She wanted the noise, the traffic and the hustle and bustle of the city. She knew it would take her time to get to where she was going but all the action and adrenaline helped her process her emotions.
Mistress Minnie loves driving but she does it barefoot. She finds it more comfortable to do it that way. When her boyfriend found it weird that she does that, she had to get him to try it and they were both shocked that she could not do it. So she had to teach him how to do it because his male ego was hurt and he did not want to be beaten by his girl.
