Default Very sad day, actually last night, Wifey will not drive with me

So last night, on our way home for a 2-star steakhouse, $26 total bill with 10% gratuity, about 8 minutes on the Sawgrass Expressway, six lanes divided, speed limit of 70 for the amateurs, wifey starts using sign language, or were they hand gestures.
Below is the skinny:

1) Says I am too aggressive on the roads
2) Says I am too fast on the roads
3) Says no one ever passes me on the roads\
4) Says exhaust too loud to have important conversations
5) Ended up stating she feels I am indifferent, as I care more for driving than talking

What am I to do, AND do not say sell my cars and buy a Bolt or telsa,,, thanks.

Is there really a problem here??

Need the top-tier VB relationship counseling experts to post up.

Toss a empty water bottle on her floorboard so she will have an imaginary brake pedal.

I explained that the reason I drive fastre than all is that we are always running a few minutes late due to her extended preperation time--that DID NOT go over well, nor did asking if she could try to start getting ready a few minutes earlier.

You would think after 33 years I would know WHAT NOT TO SAY?!?!?

Looks like you are going to get a cease and desist order covering more than offering suggestions

I tell my wife to put on a blind fold.

I figured a gag ball would be insensitive.

As a Miami Native, and very familiar with driving in Miami-Dade county and Broward, you need to drive that way for self-preservation. Fun times is getting drafted by a semi gravel truck at 80+ MPH on the f'in Palmetto.

It's probably gound hamburger pressed into a thicker patty than the 1/4-pounder and charred to more than a well done status
