Going nowhere


Won't wait for the auto club
Deerfield Beach, FL, December 2010
About this photo: Thematic's "singles" week hits full stride with this look at a singularly depressing moment in the life of a singularly depressing car. Click here to share your own singles-themed moment: All the cool kids are doing it.
This isn't a particularly memorable car, a second-generation Mercury Sable (92 to 95, if memory serves) that hasn't weathered the years with much grace. From the looks of things on this not-altogether-warm-and-sunny afternoon, today wasn't a good day for either the car or its mobile-challenged owner.

I doubt this gentleman will ever know that a complete stranger used a long-ish lens to reach across the parking lot to capture the moment. Perhaps it's just as well. Some quiet struggles almost beg to be shared anonymously*.
