Wearing-In the New Car

Today we had quite the surprise. We woke up late and were rushing to get Sam out the door. I was driving him to a study group for his film theory class. As we were putting on our shoes, we both checked the messages on our phones. We both had a message from our upstairs neighbor: the sun roof on our car was open and it was pouring rain.

We grabbed some towels and went out to assess the damage. Our neighbors had covered our car in a tarp, which did save our car from another two cups or so of rain, but the inside was soaked. We draped our seats in towels and dried what we could.

I think it's kind of funny. And, yesterday, I was eating cereal in the car (because we were in a rush to get to the dentist for Sam's crown) and spilled milk all over the passenger seat. So at least the milk got washed away!
