It Takes Getting Used To...

Las Baratas

I didn’t think this existed anymore in the world, and it definitely doesn’t exist in the states anymore.

La Barata is a car that has a megaphone attached to the top, and drives along the streets very slowly, splurging out political propaganda, advertisements, and whatever you want essentially. The joke among us aspirantes is that we’re going to rent one out to advertise for our youth groups product. But every time I see one I can’t help but think about the movie Better Off Dead, when John Cusack drag races against the Asians driving una barata:

At multiple points during the day, you can expect to hear this drive by interrupting any conversation you’re attempting to have. But it just takes getting used to.
