Question

read the passage.
stuff that works
one of the windows on the old pickup canted off its track if you tried rolling it down without guiding it at the corner. the inside panel of the passenger door was so sun - beaten and dry - rotted that scratching it with your nails was like doodling in coarse, parched sand. twisting the dial on the radio was useless. the radio was permanently tuned to some tinny am talk radio station. the pickup had somewhere over 400,000 miles on it. it was hard to tell exactly how many miles it had been driven because the odometer had long since rolled over.
how does the imagery in this excerpt affect the passage?
he whopped his thick, brown hands together with a meaty thud, and then his top hand scraped the bottom one to show how he would brush away all three buildings with one motion.
