I had just pulled into the student center parking lot looking for the person I had agreed to drive up to the Dallas area. I was lucky to find someone heading away from campus this late after Christmas, most everyone else was heading back to start the Spring semester. I wasn't sure what the person looked like, I had seen something on the dorm bulletin board and had contacted the person by email. Suddenly I found myself looking for a person with the screen name Porsche 669.
I had described my car in the email so now I simply had to drive around the parking lot until someone recognized my car and flagged me down. Yeah, I didn't realize how bad an idea this was until I got here. So anyway, I was slowly circling the parking lot looking over all the students in the area. It seemed I was beginning to draw attention and I noticed a security vehicle pull into the parking lot when I heard someone yell out, "Hey, pewter Altima."
Jamming on my brakes, I looked in my mirror and saw attractive looking woman jogging up toward my car. I pulled over to the sidewalk, unlocked my doors and waited as she lugged her bag up to my car. Reaching over to open the passenger door, I watched as she opened the back door, tossed her bag in the back seat and then closed the door. She then poked her head into the car and smiled, exposing a huge chrome grille of braces.
"So you call your car pewter, not brown?" she asked, still standing outside the car.
"Yeah, that's brown," I said, pointing to a beat up Buick.
"Oh, okay, then yeah, this is pewter. You're heading up near Wichita Falls?"
"Well heading actually over to Amarillo, but Wichita Falls isn't too far out of the way. I guess you're Porsche 669, I'm Jimmy."
"Hi Jimmy, you can call me Porsche."
"That's really your name?"
"Yeah, my dad always liked the car, but never could afford it, so instead he named me Porsche."
