Juggernaut

My first memorable car was affectionately nicknamed The Juggernaut.

It was a massive, nearly indestructible beast that had somehow been driven by a tiny old lady since the 1970s.

The car was undeniably badass, and I loved driving it.


The Juggernaut.

One other notable feature of The Juggernaut was the top of its front windshield. It must’ve leaked at some point, because there was a thick line of yellowed foam sealant running across the top, held together with a generous amount of duct tape.

This detail is clearly visible in a photo of James A. and me going through the McDonald’s drive-thru—James wearing a rubber Man-at-Arms mask from Masters of the Universe.
