It looks like my grandma's old VW Rabbit after the Berlin Wall fell on it. Twice.

"Screw them?" I raised an eyebrow. "Lyle, this is not your personal recreation time.
I glared at him. "Matt said he got a pep talk at his test. I don't rate a pep talk?"
"You want a pep talk?" He made a fist with one hand, then punched it through the air in a victorious motion. "Go get 'em. You've got twenty-eight minutes."
"Dude, do not join the pep squad.
Plus, I can't look at him the same since I ran into Mrs. Marino at our family reunion. It's not comforting to learn you've made out with your cousin."

I nodded. "Again with the not caring.
Looks like you could use a hand," he observed. "Or maybe a bucket."
"A bucket?"
"Of water. I hear that's what they use on fire." The guy smirked. "Unless you've got a better idea.
Oh, shiitake mushrooms," I muttered.
