Just a topic about whatever van related.

There was a time when vans were cool. But this trailer for "Supervan" looks so cheesy.

Just because "Supervan" was cheesy, doesn't mean vans aren't still cool.

What did I just watch?

Yesterday, I stopped at house here in my neighbourhood. As I was getting out an old couple said hello. I said hello back. Friendly. Nice weather. Yada Yada. Everyone is all smiles. I thought what a great neighbourhood. Then as I am walking away, the old bag couldn't resist herself. She made the most ridiculous sneering statement about my "vehicle". I just looked at her and shrugged my shoulders. I didn't say another word, but I was just in disbelief. Yes, I drive a VAN lady. They are very very very very very common. Just because you think everyone should drive a Prius or they are abnormal, does not make is so. I now hate that woman. I bet you every time she sees my truck from now on she'll be like there is that "suspicious" man with that strange vehicle. What a strange vehicle to be driving. He must be up to no good. My head wants to implode when I think of it. I think of all the "Artisans" I have known in various fields and the different types of vehicles they drove. People just have no clue on working lives if a profession does not fit into a nice little box with a ribbon and a bow. She should not even be allowed to vote. I have lost all faith in 90% of the population.

I just describe my vehicle to people as "the white raper van" preemptively now. I know they're jealous inside.

When I got my '16, someone made the "free candy" joke, and another one who knows me all too well said, "Except it would say free dog biscuits instead".

I saw you driving on Monday I believe. Your van always looks so shiny. Don't see a lot of black ones. I should call you Hannibal. Or are you more of a Murdock?

Shiny?

I keep looking at it upset the lustre is gone. It needs a wax. A really good wax. Does it really stand out?

I am curious for police reasons. I think they know my truck (obviously), if it stands out that is a really thing. I have seen one nearly exactly like it at an intersection. It was funny because I acknowledged them and they both (in the vehicle) acknowledged me. Other than that, I have never seen another like it in person. Just similar factory pictures on the web (with different options). As for names... I'd kinda prefer not to take one, that crossing a line of some sort. Maybe the Black Sheep, Onyx Black, something like that. You know I still have not installed the battery tray? I ordered a second one, I didn't order enough factory bolts. I ordered more bolts, they didn't ship them. I just wrote them today and they responded immediately stating they just came in and they just shipped 'em. Hopefully soon. It likely will not make a functioning difference, but I am eager to know if the windows with go up and down with more oomph.
