I was listening to the Violet Femme's song and reflecting on the lyrics. They were perfectly adolescent. I'm not sure why they weren't bigger. If actual teenagers had heard their stuff instead of developmentally delayed college radio programmers they wouldn't need to borrow the car.
In my house, dad would never have let me borrow his car. Mom was the only to even bother asking. Lots of conditions on that, both spoken and unspoken. I guess with technology, borrowing the car is less important. Car's are still sexier though.
