COL49 & the Watts article

[jbor]

     ... rags of old underwear or dresses ... for wiping your own breath off
    the inside of a windshield with so you could see whatever it was, a
    movie, a woman or car you coveted, a cop who might pull you over just
    for drill ... (p. 8)

The "you" here is the same "you" as in the Watts article I suspect:

    So you groove instead down the freeway, maybe wondering when some cop is
    going to stop you because the old piece of a car you're driving, which
    you bought for $20 or $30 you picked up somehow, makes a lot of noise or
    burns some oil.
