Border Hoppers

July 01, 2007

Kass showed up at the house early yesterday morning with his new Mercedes something-or-other. Bought it down south in Milwaukie, on a whim. Imagine that. A 1978.Fucker was on a mission: "Draplin, we're going to Vancouver to fill the trunk with fireworks." Done.Border hopping. Fireworks. Vintage Mercedes two-doors. This just might have been the first time I had ever been in a Mercedes. And, a little sports coupe to boot. I found myself wishing for Steely Dan to be playing. In fact, that rig should have a Steely Dan tape/8 track glued into the deck, on rotation forever.
