Rear Window

So I am sitting here on our back "porch" (it is fully enclosed but lined with windows) watching a family across the alley. They just pulled a large cover off an old '70's-era car (I know nothing about cars so I cannot, from 100 feet away, identify the make and model of this particular vehicle) and now all 4 of them (2 men, 2 women) are peering under the hood. The younger man just threw up his hands in a gesture of confusion and frustration while the 2 women watched him. Now the older man's head is buried in the engine.

I should also say that the sky is currently turning black and it appears as if the heavens might open up at any moment. Why these 4 people should be compelled to come outside and scrutinize this car at this particular time I have no idea. It is pea-green color and of that hideous 70's type automobile design (think El Camino). Perhaps this is the younger man's car (he seems the most interested in it) and it refuses to start. Perhaps he needs the input of the entire family despite the fact that the 2 women seem to have nothing to say on the matter. Perhaps this car cost a ridiculous amount of money and all parties present are heavily invested in its well-being. Who knows. But watching it is kind of like watching TV with the sound off. The soundtrack is completely up to you and almost anything could be happening.
