It's HERE

Fafnir arrived yesterday around noon. The person installing the lift took the van and did the voodoo that he do so well, only I think that he don't do it as well as advertised. It took him about 4 hours to complete the installation. Then, I realized that the ONLY things they got right were:

The high-back seat
The Viper blue color
The coffee cup holder
The weather cover

I had requested that the upholstery be grey cloth; instead, I got black vinyl. It gets HOT here in the summer time. Can you imagine what it'll be like to sit on that after all day in the sun?

I also requested that a large basket be installed behind the seat. The basket on the front isn't big enough to do grocery shopping unless you do it on a daily basis.

And, with no further ado, I give you --- Fafnir!



Future plans include the installation of a 24v air horn (the horn installed now is pitifully puny). Although, I fear that if I don't' use it judiciously, I will be banned from certain retail establishments.

Now, if any of you with mad editing skills want to pimp my new ride, be my guest!

Pretty snazzy!

I'd like to see my dad get one of these.

The only real problem I see is your van needs matching paint!

The color is Viper blue. I'm going to paint a GM product with Chrysler paint???

But Vipers are COOL!

And Vipers would eat that Stro alive at the light.

They only offered two colors for that Maxima -- Viper Blue and Candy Apple Red. With my blue eyes, there was no way in **** that I'd drive a red vehicle.
