Well, our minivan got the full work over yesterday. :) Bless her heart, for the last two years, she has become the troop carrier. Literally!!! She has hauled gear from DC to Fort Benning to Fort Knox back to DC to TX back to DC and she'll make yet another trip here in the next few months... She had hauled troopers all over the US. And she has been pretty good about it too only requesting the usual oil change and gas to make her go. All in all she has been a pretty good little van. :)
BUT... All of the troop carrying has taken a bit of a toll on her... She isn't the vibrant Wiggles singing rocking kid van she once was... She started to develop this weird "Man Smell." It was so bad we started calling her (affectionatly of course)... The Man Van . Everyone loves the Man Van to include Mike who compared her to a Dilorean.
Err... Anyway... I think she is missing M and all of her troop carrying... She decided (locally thank goodness) to run hot, so off to the mechanic she went for new brakes and a new water pump! She seems happier, but still she needed something... So, yesterday we fixed her up! She got the full body wash to get rid of all the dusty road mud off, steam cleaned carpets, washed interior windows, waxed, wiped the works! She is sporting it!
I'm happy to say... She doesn't have the "Man Smell" any longer. She has fresh clean smell of Cranberry Mango. So today, we call her troop carrier! :)
