CIP Episode 2

Another Underground SSSaints crossover - will be the final one since the newsletter ceased publication in April 2025.

I didn't realize until I was actually picking the car up from the Carvana "vending machine" in Cleveland (yes, we really did drive all the way to Cleveland just for the thrill of using the gimmicky car vending machine rather than having it delivered for not really much extra cost, since Toledo isn't that far away, only like 90 miles, and yes I realize that constitutes a long drive for some people, but not us! It was one last little road trip in the damaged green convertible, which the AI keeps making look like all kinds of different things, but was in fact, for the curious, a Mini Cooper, and the crash into the hospital was a mere fender bender not the major disaster that the comic depicts it as, the car was drivable and I did drive it for a few weeks afterward, but I chose to trade it as is rather than get the body work done and be without a vehicle or have to pay for a rental, also I had figured out that my sons' father had hidden some kind of tracking device on it and was coming over and damaging the house repeatedly when I went to the gym) that I had, indeed, purchased the same make, model, color, and body style (although a newer version) of car that Vanilla Ice was driving in the "Ice Ice Baby" video.

And yes, we did put that song in our "recreational family driving" playlist and learned all the words for countless sing alongs (technically rap alongs) during our first, last, and only summer of freedom together. With the ragtop down so our hair could blow!
