The "Taco's & Toucan's" Trip

Friday May 3rd, 2019
Before climbing into the vehicle, I took a precursory “pre-start” check of the Hyundai Grace shitbox sauna minivan and found four bald tires, no spare tire and fluid leaking from seemingly every orifice. But as this was a replacement for the "premium coach" that had an apparent faulty air conditioner, we really didn't have much choice in transportation.
We get going and find next to zero seat padding and no air-conditioning in the rear of the vehicle, where I've performed my very best ‘pretzel’ yoga stance & slide, just to get into the freckle numbing seating.
Yeah, I was kind of cranky when I told our CEO Sonia that I’d burn this fucken vehicle to the ground before the day was out - as in all my travels, this was by far the worst example of commercial passenger conveyance that I've ever sat my arse in.
Fair dinkum, you wouldn't run it in a Shitbox Derby for fear of your mates disowning you.
