hot import nights

I’m now in California, and that’s another story altogether. But, I have to write about things in chronological order, if this blog is to maintain any sort of validity.

As you may have expected, the place was full of people from every walk of life (as long as the walking takes place in the ghetto), disturbingly slutty models, and way-over-the-top cars.

- one on either side of the center console (in case your right hip was bored)
- one in each rear door panel
- at least three in the tailgate area
- one in each rear window, facing out – just so that the passing motorists can participate in all the excitement
