Hood Removed, Front View
Irvine Meadows West RV Park, Irvine, California
August, 1990
Finally, the new 350 long-block arrived, and it was time to do The Swap.
Each day was hotter and smoggier than the one before. The trailer
park management, working nose-in-crack with the UCI Housing Dept., had
established a "no overnight parking in the trailer park" regulation.
However, there was no enforcement mechanism other than personal pleas by
the sellout IMW manager (in addition, the campus being state property,
there were no state laws on the subject), so I pulled the hood off, fit
exactly 8 cans of cheap beer (the maximum) in my trailer's 1/2-cubic-foot refrigerator,
and got ready to do the swap.
