"Yeah, change is a part of it. I think for a long time, I was stuck in the same patterns, a rhythm that got comfortable," as wrong as that rhythm was. It was leading to something, to Baby being free of his debt and the criminal life he'd been forced to lead. He remembers, when it all first started, he'd wanted it. For a short amount of time, he'd been so angry that crime felt like the right thing to do.

It hadn't lasted, of course. "I was still moving, but it was like I was going around in circles. It's better now. It feels more worthwhile."

Now, he drives because he loves it. Because he loves the feel of a car around him, loves the control and the power and the ease, loves kicking an engine up a gear and feel it roar. He loves the speed and how he can do incredible things with it. For plenty of people, it might be shallow, but to Baby, it's like a metaphor to his life. Everything had been going by so fast, for years, he'd barely been able to hold it together. But now, he's the one in control. And for someone who hasn't had control over his own life for years, it's important.
