John Lai and his friends had started a new business selling “cars”, little remote-controlled metal boxes with caster-like wheels, and I bought one myself, though I began questioning whether you could even call them that, being useless as transportation, other than it costing two or eight thousand dollars. I helped with the design of a new sleeker model by attaching a thinner wooden panel, painted black, onto the body, holding it in place above and aligning its pegs above their matching holes. It must’ve been Houston, and I was visiting, still half-asleep with my comforter, because Rajeev Gantela showed up to discuss selling his parents’ home to Susan, who had a map of their subdivision.
