Before going on tour, TacocaT singer Emily Nokes wrote this for the Stranger's Rock 'n' Roll Survival Guide:

Do you have a van?
Is it a Honda or a Toyota? If you answered no, it's going to break down in Arizona, and there's nothing you can do about it. We had to say good-bye to a copper Astro van in an Arizona parking lot, and we've also been stranded in an Arizona Dairy Queen in the tiniest dust town in the world waiting to see if the one local tow-truck driver felt like towing our van to a bigger city. He didn't feel like it until 7 a.m. the next day, when all four of us had to pile into the two-person tow-truck cab and drive 35 miles an hour to the next city while he pointed out every town along the way in which a murder had taken place. Every town had had a murder along the way. Moral: Invest in a van that will take you across the country more than once—treat it well, give it a name.

But just yesterday, the band's Honda broke down in Colorado. Now they have purchased a "new" Ford (Found On Road Dead/Fixed Or Repaired Daily) Aerostar for $900. Will they make it home?
