dagumi was fighting in school and converting slut into pure girl, he was doing very well socially. he was only awkward because he wasn't much into cars at first (and show is about cars, so he's constantly being asked about stuff he don't know about) and because he was playing straight man with itsuki

i guess i could agree that drivers are usually portrayed as calm people, and that's because being calm is one of most important things in car driving. people constantly lost positions in race because they get too agitated after someone keeps on their tail for some time, and i don't even need to mention daily street driving. people who rage behnd the wheel should have their human rights taken away

It's usually the other way around in real life.
