Upon completion of the registration for our car everything was seemingly running well... until scare number one occurred today.
Dennis and I woke up this morning at 6am as usual and headed to the Halifax Club. We were runnig a little late and I was getting impatient with Dennis' driving as he was trying to do some online banking along the way (I know, not smart). At the next red light I insisted on switching into the drivers seat, Dennis agreed and off we went.
When we returned to the car after our shift my brother turned the key and nothing happened... it turned out that I left the radio on when I parked the car (half asleep mind you) in the a.m.! At first we thought it might be a bigger issue, though after finding two friendly guys with jumper cables and getting a boost everything seemed to be okay! *
On the way home from work we stopped and bought some spray paint to add a little extra flare to our whip. This way you'll be sure to know it's us broken down on the side of the highway (hopefully outside of Nova Scotia).

Well.. I literally just got in from painting the car. I think we may have been a little to ambitious with the paint job.
*Side Note/ Interesting Fact:
It turned out that the guy with the jumper cables had just bought them the day before, solely for the fact that they were on sale at Princess Auto. Lucky for us!

ReplyDeleteI love it. The paint job is incredible, you obviously have good taste and good luck on your side and I cannot wait to ride shotty WHEN you make it to Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteGuys this sounds like the adventure of a life time!!!
ReplyDeleteamazing paint job on the car, I know I am wishing I had a car that cool. Also I am wishing that I was going to the olympics!!
Amazing, best of luck on your adventure I will definitely be following you!!
that car is awesome. I wish i could come too. hopefully you have CAA, you're going to need. I hope you don't need a tow between Wawa and thunder bay, that would suck. When you get to Ottawa, you better take me for a ride in that masterpiece of canadiana art. good luck
ReplyDeleteYou guys inspire me everyday
ReplyDeleteYou guys are too funny. The car looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll get lots of honks (and weird looks) on your trek.
Miss you both!
OH good idea, perhaps you should stop by Ottawa for a night!?!?! yes!
You guys should put your blog address somewhere on the car... might attract some followers on the road...
ReplyDeleteI'll keep an eye open for some couches to sleep on in Vancouver
Good Luck and Godspeed Guys!
ReplyDeleteI will always support a fellow Darksider!
And by the looks of the background of your photos, one of you lives in Collins Grove Court! That's where I grew up in #16!
Cheers!

Hey,
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those friendly jumper cable guys. I'm from Dartmouth myself and grew up right on Hawthorne st, right around the corner from Banook.
Awesome...I'm the other "friendly jumper cable guys". Just saw the article about you guys in the Chronicle Herlad. I see you added a new paint job since we gave you a boost. Good luck on the trip and I hope you picked up a set of cables....side note...LOL....they're on sale at Princess auto....I liked that part. GO CANADA!!
