The Hook has asked that I preface my comments by mentioning that my immediate verbal reaction to this chapter was "Gee, honey, you just spent an entire chapter getting three people into a car. Let's hope they don't have to stop for gas!" So perhaps you now understand the cross she has to bear as she grapples with her writerly chores. :-)
On the other hand: Mmmmm, Angel. This should be a non-stop funfest!
I'm charmed that Buffy's immediate reaction is to start fretting about how they're going to start fighting over her, because of course that's the kind of thing that always used to happen, and then she finds herself just tagging along for the ride while the guys trade zingers over her head. Poor Buffy - so much has changed during her little vacation from the superhero biz.
And yes, the banter. Not that it'd be easy to tell on brain trust here, How'd you know it was a hunn'erd years anyway? Bring a digital watch?... classic. Not to mention the visual image of Buffy wiggling into the car and butting in while Angel's trying to get Spike wrapped up all nice and snug, and then the lap-sitting and stick-shifting. Oh my! You always make vehicular travel seem so dirty.
