This is the story of a man named Sam. He has a wife to support. He has many things on his mind: school, work, dinner....and most importantly, his expanding family!So, Sam does the responsible thing and gets a second job.
Oh no! Analytical Sam has overlooked one thing: Transportation!
"The Tank" is the family car and is heavily abused: Work, grocery shopping, Dr. Appts! How does it manage to do everything? Well, sometimes Tank just can't be in two places at once.
So, Sam (still being practical) looks for a second vehicle. But nothing comes along that is just right: too old, too expensive, gas-guzzler, etc.
One day, Sam is pondering the meaning of being a family man when he passes the scooter store.
A transformation occurs: man reverts to boy. Like a kid in a toy store, Sam skips past the gleaming metal of two-wheeled vehicles and straight into the office. Without blinking, he skips out with....
The Keys!
