We asked for a mini-van
…and ended up with a tank. We had intended to rent a mini-van to pick up Teressa’s mom and Co. from the finish of this year’s Bike-Across-Kansas. However, when we got to Enterprise the nice guy at the desk opened with “would an Expedition be okay?” It was a little tight compared to the van but we got the weary bike riders home no problem. Although, Teressa and I couldn’t stop laughing from the absurdity of us driving an Expedition down i70. I’m looking at getting a Yaris before the fall, and here we are driving this tank!
I complained all weekend about “not having a van,” but I couldn’t really argue with the “Jack Bauer” factor of having the Expedition. I kept looking under the back-seat for the stockpile of tracking devices, communications gear and firearms for our trip home, but alas, we didn’t get the CTU edition. :)
Will you have to trade in your testicles as part of the down payment on the Yaris?

Probably, but in return I’ll get 30-mph in town, 40-mph highway. ;)
