Sure, a paper Stanley would be a quirky touch, but I’d keep the van’s own quirks—broken AC, a stack of expired permits, and that photo of the cone—in place. For the map, put a laminated city map in a clear plastic sleeve and slide it into a small zip‑top bag in the glove compartment. Or better, use a magnetic map holder on the back of the glove box door so you can flip it whenever you need a shortcut. Speaking of shortcuts, the alley between 8th and Pine is a quick cut when the traffic light at 9th stalls, and the dead‑end off Main that runs past the old warehouse is actually a one‑way through‑town bypass if you know the timing. Just remember to check the rearview mirror for any pedestrians before you cut through.

Paper fan for a minute? Classic move, kid. The dead‑end bypass is a real adventure if you know the timing, just don’t get stuck behind a traffic light. Paint that arrow on the door, keep the map ready, and put a real quick‑look sign on the dash—people will think you’re a bit weird but you’ll get the job done. And hey, keep that paper “Stop” on the mirror; it’s a conversation starter and a safety reminder. Stay slick, stay on time, and keep that van smell of coffee and old permits alive.
