We were still on our way as Barley was talking about all the "great" features of his van. 

Barley: Radio, headlights, brakes, tires, rims. I mean it's hard to tell now, Dad, but before I replaced her parts, Guinevere was actually kind of a peace of junk.

Wilbur: You telling me, but I think the amazing features of my Valkyrie definitely tops the features of Guinevere. Plus, it goes way faster.

P.S.: That's what I call my motorcycle.

Barley: Sure thing, buddy.

Meanwhile, Ian was still talking to Dad in the back while crossing some things off his list that, unfortunately, he won't be able to with Dad. 

Ian: Looks like we won't be able to do everything today, Dad.

He said while looking at Dad's lower half with his disguise.

Ian: That's okay. I just want to meet you. 

He said while crossed feet with each other. I went in the back with them.

Ian: But don't worry. We'll have you fixed up in time to see...

Then we both realized.

Me and Ian: Oh no, Mom.

Ian: Barley, we're not gonna be able to get Dad back in time to see Mom.

Wilbur: Well, crap, that's a downer.

Barley thought about it while he was driving. 

Barley: Well, Dad, at least you won't have to meet the new guy.

We all laughed.

Wilbur: Yeah, that's true, but it would be so awkward if he was there.

Barley: Oh, man. Will, you so would, wouldn't you?

Wilbur: I so would. I can imagine what his face would look like if Dad was there.

Barley laughed.

Barley put a finger mustache to his upper lip and impersonated Colt.

Barley: So, you workin' hard or hardly workin'?

He mimicked as he laughed Colt's ridiculous laugh.

Ian: Yeah. (impersonating Colt) Barley, Barley, Barley. Every time there's trouble, I have to deal with you. 

He wasn't so good at it, though.

Wilbur: Is that your Colt?

Ian: Yeah. What do you think?

Wilbur: It needs work.

All of a sudden, the van stalled as Barley pulled over, to get off the road.

Barley: No, no, no. C'mon old girl.
