Cruise Control

When I was in high school, my friends and I would hang out on the patio of our local coffee shop on weekends, drinking our lattes and watching the boys cruise by in their beat-up, junky cars. We would sip and sip, and they would loop and loop, and our two groups would critique each other’s looks, clothes and cars. I don’t remember ever actually talking to any of the cruisers, but it was always fun to see what they’d done with their beaters during the week.
