After driving around all day with Caterina-
I'm pretty sure the phrase “I can't talk on my cell phone right now because I am driving a stick-shift car in a town full of lunatic drivers—myself included—who make up the rules of driving as they go along and I am so focused on this conversation that I have basically stopped adhering to one particular lane and have opted instead to wander aimlessly from lane to lane and sometimes right in the middle of two lanes for extend periods of time (not that anybody is noticing or caring except for the people behind me whose honks fall on deaf ears) so I will have to call you back later” doesn't translate into Italian.

if im not mistaken:
Non posso parlare sul mio telefono cellulare proprio ora perché guido un'automobile di cambio manuale in una città piena di autisti di lunatico—mie incluso—che inventa le regole di guidare come vanno lungo e sono cosí è concentrato su questa conversazione che ho fermato fondamentalmente aderire a una corsia particolare e ho optato invece di errare senza scopo dalla corsia alla corsia ed a volte la destra in non per estende i periodi di tempo (che nessuno nota o preoccupa eccetto per le persone dietro me di chi colpi di clacson cade sugli orecchia sordi) cosí dovrò chiamarla sostiene dopo
Yes, but the meaning is lost in translation
Hilarious! I remember how scary it was being a passenger in a car in Italy (Ken did most of the driving). Mostly, I recall people honking their horns as they passed around us!
