RHAPAW was a fifteen-year-old Buick that had been driven with impunity by all three of Ben's older siblings and was, by the time it reached Ben, composed primarily out of duct tape and spackle. Her full name was Rode Hard And Put Away Wet, but we called her RHAPAW for short. RHAPAW ran not on gasoline, but on the inexhaustible fuel of homan hope. You would sit on the blisteringly hot vinyl seat and hope she would start, and then Ben would turn the key and the engine would turn over a couple of times, like a fish on land making it's last, meager, dying flops. And then you would hope harder, and the engine would turn over a couple more times. You hoped some more, and it would finally catch.
Cuplikan deskripsi di atas diambil dari buku Paper Towns karangan John Green (udah baca reviewnya?) dan saya pilih karena it.just.spotantly.funny.the.first.time.I.read.it! =)) Sungguhan, ya, saya suka banget kalau om John (#...) udah menunjukkan keasyikannya mengutak-atik metafora dan bisa membuat narasi atau dialog di setting sederhana jadi menarik dan crunchy (?). Deskripsi RHAPAW di atas langsung bikin saya gak bisa mencegah timbulnya tawa karena metaforanya tentang bahan-bakar si Buick "legendaris"nya Ben, temennya Q yang bisa dibilang juga gak kalah "legendaris"...ngeresnya =)).
