I need to upgrade the van.
I have this crazy Dodge to drive, but I’m not wild about it. My van has all the extra acha, cha, cha’s and this one that I’m driving is a stripped down version. I miss the stereo access on my steering wheel. I’m a radio station surfer and am constantly changing the station cuz I hate to listen to commercials. I also miss the DVD, power doors and power mirrors. It also doesn’t corner as well. I can usually do a corner at 80km in my mini van, but this rental doesn’t have good tires, so it squeals and fusses when I try to drive it hard.
“My tires on my van really make a difference.” I say to Ryan.
“It’s because I got you performance tires because I know you drive crazy.” He replies.
“Well, I notice a difference when I corner. Maybe we could do more upgrades to the van while it’s in the shop.” I suggest.
“Like a better suspension?” Ryan suggests.
“Yeah!”
“Like a new stereo with big subwoofers…” He adds.
“Yeah!”
“Like a better exhaust system and maybe we’ll lower it to the ground more.” He says seriously, but I know he’s just kidding.
“You know what it really needs?” I say mischievously with a huge grin on my face.
“What?”
“NOS! 2 tanks! That would be awesome!” I grin, imagining the power that would come from the bottles.
“Ya! Like you don’t have enough scratches already on your van.” He replies.
“Racing stripes…. remember? They’re my racing stripes. Who needs to get fancy decals when I can just bump into things?…. oohhh… and I’d like a big bumper with one of those cute grill thingys so you can push things outta the way… ya know? That would be great! Thanks hon!”
“Right.” He says sarcastically.
Personally, I think I NEED NOS. I think it would be quite the snazzy feature on my minivan.
***************
When we returned the Dodge mini van today and got my old one back. I’m quite happy, except for the fact that Ryan decided to put my winter tires on already. I don’t think it’s ready and it makes a loud noise and shakes the van when I try to stop abruptly. It has deep tread. *sigh*
We waited for Erik to come check over the vehicle for any damage.
“Well, I don’t think there are any dings on the van. I don’t remember running into anything this week.” I commented to Ryan.
“It must be your lucky week then.” He says drily.
“Nice! I don’t bonk into something every week!”
“No, just every other week.” He retorts.
