A cheerful driver cruises along a country road, praising the song on his radio and defending his battered car. His boasts about its low price give way to an admission that even the payments strained his budget. Smoke pours from the car, sending him under the hood, but he resumes his ride with his enthusiasm intact. When a handful of hair comes loose, he turns back to the radio for consolation, greeting the sports report with the same delight he gave the music.
