Reasons our van has personality:

• Radio changes stations all on its own

• The side door needs two people to open

• The wipers go on and off on their own

• Turn signal stays on after you turn

• Glove box falls out if you try to open it

• Continue to find pipe cleaners from the Leader’s Orientation

• Door always seems to be ajar.• Four way flashers get stuck on
