Advent Drabble #14 V.1.0 - I suck at crossovers

Right, I'm trying to write a crossover drabble for [livejournal.com profile] paratti today. She asked for BtvS/Supernatural, i.e. Spike/Dean slash. That puts all kinds of naughty yummie pics into my brain. Unfortunately these ideas don't lend themselves to 100 word drabbles. Take one is neither naughty, nor slashy, so it's back to the drawing board. However, it's not bad enough to scrap entirely, so here's the drabble:

BtVS/Supernatural - Spike & Chevy Impala - PG - no spoilers
For [livejournal.com profile] paratti

There’s no point in stealing one of the newer cars; most have immobilizers these days. ‘Sides, Spike wouldn’t want to be seen dead in a Toyota. But that black 1967 Chevy Impala? Now that’s Spike’s kind of car. Almost as good as his Desoto. And a decent-sized trunk never hurts.

Stripped wires spark and the Impala rumbles to life. With a two-fingered salute, Spike speeds away from the diner’s parking lot.

A few miles down the road, he checks the trunk: rock salt, crosses, silver bullets?

Balls.

A minute later, he’s roaring back to the diner. He’ll try the Toyota.

I have a quick question. Can I use the term 'laundromat' for a coin-operated washing machine or does that term only work to describe the place where the washing machines stand?

Hmmm... probably just the place where there is a business of coin operated washers and dryers.

Not that there are too many coin-operated machines outside of that setting. College dorms. Some motels. Those places would probably be refered to as laundry rooms. And the machine as either just a washing machine or a coin-operated washing machine.

Thank you! I decided to use it for the title and to use the word washer instead. Cheers!!! :-)
