So the thing I didn´t mention in my last post a few seconds ago... was how we completely shot some poor kid´s view of ´rich´ Gringos.
See, we have this black truck... with oh about 50 million miles on it (378,000 to be exact). And we come driving up to this gas station when suddenly the driver´s door busts open and nearly smacks a passing car.
So Mike slams the door back and is holding it as we pull into the gas station. And the attendants are just standing there staring at us. The steering wheel is held together with bungee cords, and the door is hanging slightly ajar.
So we´re trying to figure out how to keep the door from opening on the 20 minute drive home, and we manage to find a tool box which is ALSO bungeed closed. We take the bungee cord from the tool box and start trying to bungee the door shut.
Meanwhile, this kid who is helping with our gas is just standing there with his jaw completely dropped.
Then once we jury rigged the bungee to go over the top of the door and hook in on Mike´s seat belt, he tries to get in and close the window completely. And he´s straining to get it closed, but the bungee is in the way.
The kid´s still staring at us.
Finally, we´re like ¨Mike, the bungee´s in the way.¨ He just kinda shook his head as we drove off. Surreal.
The kid must be thinking, ¨Man if this is what it´s like to be an American, I NEVER want to go to America.¨
Hopefully that was funny, but seriously, we need a new truck.
