Anyone want a hot car? · Posted Jun 24, 04:43 PM by Todd Babiak

I washed my car today, in a hurry, at one of those do-it-yourself car washes. I sprayed, and sang to myself. A French version of Heroes , by David Bowie, had been on the radio. I didn’t really know the lyrics, having only heard it the once, and only halfway through. So I made stuff up. My go-to French phrases: Il faut que j’y aille and such.

I want my hot car to look extra hot, because I am selling it before going to France. You see, I have to buy a car in France. Why have two cars, right? Most people do, but they’re sort of right next to each other, in the garage or what have you. Not on different continents.

At the car wash, I did not use soap because it smells funny.

Oh, and also at the car wash, the driver’s side window was open. I soaked some of my personal belongings, including a wool sweater that had been lying on the seat. Now it’s a considerably smaller wool sweater. And I’m stupid.
