Sunroofs and Christina Grimmie

When I was in high school, I drove a '95 Ford Escort Wagon. 


Color:  Minute Maid Berry Punch
It didn't have power windows or locks; thanks to our dirt road, the alignment was off; and the blower didn't work, which meant the heat/air conditioning only came out if you were driving fast enough. This was in California, so no heat wasn't a problem too often, but at the beginning and end and sometimes middle of the school year, the lack of air conditioning was a hassle. My afternoon routine involved opening all the doors and windows and standing around in the parking lot while at least some of heat escaped before I drove home.

These days, I've moved up in the world. Not only does the blower work in my car work, but I also have a sunroof. 

Trust me, I look as cool as this kid.

If I'm being honest, I'm not a huge convertible fan. My hair blows all over the place, it's hard to have a conversation or hear the radio, and sunburn is likely.  But a sunroof  lessens some of those problems. It's a convertible for the less tolerant. Or at least the fair skinned and curly haired. And, bonus, no one mistakes you for a midlife crisis victim while you're riding around with the sunroof open. (I'm looking at you, Miata drivers.)

This week's hot jam is a cover of Drake's Hold On, We're Going Home. I'm a big fan of The Voice and two weeks ago, Christina Grimmie did an AMAZING job on this song. I already like the Drake version, but this sounds awesome in a totally different way.
