I wasn't driving at the time and gave permission to loan out Mellow Yellow a couple times for general transport. The van wasn't getting driven a lot with me crippled up, and I figured that letting it sit, like, forever, wasn't a good idea. When I got behind the wheel a couple weeks ago I noticed that things ... weren't right. Just little oddnesses in the vehicle's behavior. Shortly after being driven by me, they smoothed out. Mrs Squirrel says that the van missed its daddy.
