Route 666

This one will be fairly quick, since I am next to ignorant about usage of vehicles in a  racially mixed society. I can however discuss the cultural connotations in assigning a big  black truck ( Read more... )

So for the moment, I'm a little slow on the rest of any forthcoming meta- I have a tentative third (!) piece for cars, and a possible new piece about categorizing some of the characters into different parts and/or definitions of underclass.

Does anyone have any requests, about anything you'd like me to discuss more in depth with this underclass
