Mike and Jon (Appleseed) have been planning on driving to Phoenix, Arizona and then to Mexico for about 2 months now. I really wanted to go but I knew we didn't have reliable transportation, a Pontiac van with 155,000 miles and is driven around by Michael Conrad Mettenburg it isn't my idea of reliable, so I told Mike I would pass. I had been telling Mike for weeks that he needs to get his van checked out but he assures me "it will be fine". Mike didn't even want to get an oil change for the 7000 mile trip... something that needs to be done every 3000 miles. Finally, after weeks of me nagging at Mike he took his van in for a checkup. They told him he needed to get several things fixed before he took it but once again Mike asured me "it would be fine
". The adventure started this morning... Mike and Jon hit the open road without an oil change, without fixing the car, and with the wind blowing in Jon's long girly red hair. All seemed well as they traveled south thinking about how much fun they would have on their spring break. All that fun ended in Wichita, Kansas. After being on the road for a little over 8 hours their car finally broke down. That alternator belt which was cracked and definitely needed to be replaced, yea that belt snapped like a twig under Ed Wollner's weight. So to sum it up... Mike and Jon are stranded in Wichita, Kansas as we speak, and the best part of the whole story is this... clear your face and try not laughing. But really clear your face and try not laughing. CAR REPAIR SHOPS AREN'T OPEN ON SUNDAYS!!~Dave :)
