A cigarette he keeps there like he's breathing through it. He's got mad wild surfer-blond hair. The one in the passenger seat has his fingers steepled, but not in prayer or contemplation.The man behind him sports a rictus grin standard on his face, his arm's out the window, big glitzy rings on every finger.
