Car Pool Log: 2006 08-08

Blue VW car, tan colored interiors. Driver was playing music from his MP3 player, wire rolling into a cassette that was in the car stereo. A mix of soft-blues and Coldplay. I was intrigued by the gelled quality of Second Passenger’s black hair, the Swiss Army sunglasses he wore. In the back, the ashtray was open and looked recently vacuumed.

A white Cadillac roamed into the car pool lane with the appearance of only one passenger, the driver.

“I don’t know what he thinks he’s doing,” Driver said.

As we drove by the car there was an Energy Efficient sticker on the gas tank lid. It looked beat-up, like a sold-off police cruiser.

“Must be a hydrogen car,” Driver said.
