Maybe there are seatbelts but Nux has forgotten them too. Then again, he's the driver and he can anticipate where the vehicle will swing. Feels faster than one-sixty right now but the numbers won't tell him. That's fine. Nux can just tell, been driving so long and no matter how different a car is from the last one you piloted, speed always feels the same.
Shiny. Nux hooks onto that phrase and spares Cole another enthused glance before focusing on the road again. This stranger's speaking his language! He's the first to do so! But he looks nothing like a War Boy save the paleness, the hard-spit name like Coal. He'll have to interrogate him once they stop. Whenever they stop-- if they ever stop.
Small bumps are like hills at this velocity and seeing the response from his passenger, Nux starts scouting for an actual one. Not just a rock or a corpse already extinguished by someone else. The skyline is very flat, but looking in every direction he can, Nux spots an actual ridge curving gently to the south. He eases into the turn this time then basically kicks the pedal as he races for that dune, fully intent on ramping them off it into whatever lies underneath.
