Codrivers have icewater in their veins. They have to sit there calmly, reading a book, and telling the driver what they are about to run into while the car hurtles down a logging road at high speed and goes sideways through corners. I can do the navigation and math and such but the lack of control of a highspeed car kind of gets to me.
