Our Epic Journey Took a Detour...Into Tom's Bank Account

!5 Passanger

Oh honey, let me tell you about the day our glorious, behemoth of a 15-passenger van decided it had enough of the open road and staged a full-blown sit-in! Picture this: a vibrant, slightly dusty chariot of dreams, packed tighter than a clown car at a circus convention, just… stopped. Like a toddler throwing a tantrum in the middle of the grocery aisle.

And who comes to our rescue, our knight in slightly tarnished armor? None other than our dear Tom! Now, Tom's a good egg, bless his heart, but the glint in his eye when he got "the call" could power a small city. Suddenly, he was all business, phone pressed to his ear, nodding sagely like he was brokering a Wall Street deal.

Next thing we knew, Ben Franklin was making a cameo appearance from someone's wallet and hopping right into Tom's pocket with a cheerful little "cha-ching!" It was a beautiful moment, really. Beautiful for Tom's burgeoning bank account, anyway. For the rest of us? Well, let's just say we got some quality bonding time on the side of the road, serenaded by the sweet symphony of passing traffic. Ah, memories!
