A moralistic, and saucy; but also erotic and steamy story tthat Marc Brown could come up with for his character Arthur, and the related characters; to begin with, could involve Arthur, his parents, his sisters, and his grandmother Thora together moving into a 4,100 square feet, 7 Bedroom, 3 Full Bathrooms, 2 Quarter Bathroom, and 1 Half Bathroom, 1.5 Story House on 11 acres of property, close to where the Read Family Farm (where the Read family members Theodore, John, Chrissy, Laurie, Jimmy, and Lorraine each reside).

Note: Dora Winifred Read, a deceased relative who was a Great-Aunt to Arthur’s father David Read and a Great-Great-Aunt to Arthur, D.W., and Kate Read, is D.W.’s namesake. This deceased relative, also named Dora Winifred Read, resided on the Read Family Farm until her passing.

The House that the Read family moves into is of an L-Shaped Layout, has a two-story Porch/Patio above and below the Daylight Basement, a 3-Car Attached Garage, an attached Storage Room next to the Garage, a Master Bedroom consisting of dimensions 18×15, the Master Bedroom also being a Suite with Dual Vanities, a Bathtub, a standalone Shower, the Master Bedroom also has a Walk-In Closet, the remaining two Bedrooms (one that is Arthur’s grandmother Thora’s, the other being a Guest Bedroom) on the Main Floor consisting of dimensions 15×12 and 12×13, the Kitchen includes an L-shaped Countertop, a standalone, sit-down Peninsula, and a Walk-In Pantry, a 23×20 Living Room, the remaining Full-Bathroom consisting of a single Vanity surrounded by cabinetry, a Toilet that is also surrounded by cabinetry, and a combination Bathtub/Shower; the one Half Bathroom consists of a single vanity that is not surrounded by cabinetry, and a Toilet, a Mud Room located between the Garage and the Kitchen, and a Main Floor Laundry Room.

In addition, this House was constructed atop a Daytime Basement. Living space in the Walkout/Daytime Basement consists of three 12×14 Living Rooms, a Quarter Bathroom consisting of a single Vanity surrounded by cabinetry, a Toilet that is also surrounded by cabinetry, and a standalone Shower; a Full Bathroom consisting of a single Vanity surrounded by cabinetry, a Toilet that is also surrounded by cabinetry, and a combination Bathtub/Shower; a Utility Room, a Storage Room, and a 12×12 combination Home Office.

The architecture of the House that the three generations of the Read family move into, is along the lines of the real-life hybrid Raised Ranch-Traditional-Craftsmen style Home pictured below:

Additionally, there is a Pole Barn on the property that Arthur, his parents, his sister, and his grandmother Thora each move into.

Oliver Frensky leaves his job as a Sanitation Worker (more commonly known as a ‘Garbage Worker’), and takes a job as a salesperson at the Distributor for Carpenter School Buses for the entire State where the fictional municipality called Elmwood City is located.

David and Jane Read sell the Cape Cod-style home with a 2-Car Detached Garage that they and their three children have been living in, to Oliver and Laverne Frensky. Shortly after David and Jane Read move into their recently-acquired home, Oliver and Laverne Frensky, and their two daughters move into what was previously David and Jane Read’s home.

Arthur’s Grandmother Thora sells her home to a young family with four children.

As if often the case whenever somebody voluntarily leaves a job, retires, and/or moves away, when people voluntarily or under duress cease contact, and disassociate themselves with one another. In this case, Arthur loses contact with some of the other pupil characters such as Fern, Sue Ellen, Prunella, George, Shelley “Binky”, Alberto Molina, and LaDonna Compson; Dora Winifred “D.W” loses contact with James, Twins Timmy and Tommy Tibble, Vicita Molina, and Buddy “Bud” Compson. In part and parcel, Arthur and D.W’s parents David and Jane lose contact with their parents.

Arthur, however; does remain in contact with the other pupil characters such as Francine, Mary Alice “Muffy”, and Alan “The Brain”.

Around the same time the Reads move into their recently-acquired Home, Ed Crosswire opens a Toyota dealership at one location, and a Nissan dealership at another location.

Arthur’s mother Jane Read takes an Accounting job at a combination of AM, FM, and Shortwave Radio Stations, and a Television Station that are each jointly owned by a relative of the Read family, and Arthur’s father David Read takes a job as a School Bus Driver. After they move into their recently acquired House, and after Jane and David Read each take their new jobs, Arthur’s grandmother Thora serves as the built-in nanny and babysitter for Arthur and both of his sisters from this point forward, while both of their parents are at work during the day.

The AM Radio Station that is owned by the relative of the Read family, where Jane Read takes an Accounting job at; is a heritage AM Station dating back to the very early portion of the 20th Century, where one of the Reads’ ancestors had put it on the air as an experimental Radio Station, and in 1921, had gained commercial status, and began regular commercial broadcasts. From 1929-1937, this AM Station had an Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of 50 killowatts, and beginning in 1937, this AM Station increased its Effective Radiated Power to 1 megawatt. Note: as this is a make-believe scenario, the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) cap at 50 kilowatts that a Class I-A Clear Channel AM Radio Station does not apply in this scenario.

The FM Radio Station that is also owned by the relative of the Read family, where Jane Read also works; is a heritage FM Station that dates back to 1934 with its beginnings as an APEX Radio Station, began service on the newly-carved 42-50 Megacycle FM Band, began transmitting on the reallocated 88-108 Megacycle FM band in July, 1945 (several weeks after the FCC had announced the reallocation of the FM band a month earlier in June, 1945); transmitting its signal on 95.9 Megacycles, and later transmitting its signal on 96.5 Megacycles beginning in 1948, aired unique programming from its time as an APEX Station beginning in 1934, up until 1948, when it began to simulcast the programming of the AM Radio Station. In 1945, this FM Station was assigned more normal four-letter call letters along the lines of, for example; WENF, and in 1948, this FM Station was assigned the call letters of its AM parents with the “-FM” suffix added to the call letters.

This FM station took a hybrid Easy Listening-Adult Contemporary format after the FCC mandated in the late 1960s that FM stations could no longer simulcast the programming of their AM parents so that one could hear the programming of the AM Station in the crystal-clear sound of FM Radio. The Read’s Broadcasting Company changed the FM station’s call letters in 1970 to make it appear to the public that the FM station was a wholly separate entity from the AM, Shortwave, and Television Stations, when in fact it was and is co-owned and operated with the AM, Shortwave, and Television Stations and is still an affiliate of either CBS or NBC Radio. The FM Station is still the same (ownership, management, format, and Radio Network affiliation), but with different call letters now. Only employees of the Reads’ Broadcasting Company, many people who work in the Broadcasting Industry, and those who follow the Broadcasting Industry are aware of this.

Note: Similarly to how the FCC, 60 years later; had imposed a mandate that took effect later that all Television Stations had to cease Analog Transmission by June 12, 2009; the FCC had imposed a mandate that all FM Stations had to cease transmitting on the earlier 42-50 Megacycle allocation by Midnight on January 8, 1949.

The AM Radio Station’s 1 megawatt signal reaches half the world during the day and much of the world during the night via groundwave and skywave signals, respectively. However, the AM Radio Station’s 50 kW Shortwave Transmitter enables the Reads’ Broadcasting Company to successfully transmit its programming around the world via shortwave day and night, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

In addition to being owned by a member of the Read family and employing Jane Read, the TV station has roots in the early days of television, having first gone on the air in 1928 as an experimental TV station. The TV station, which had previously been licensed by the Federal Radio Commission (FRC, later the FCC) as W8XHV, among other similar call signs, went on the air in 1928. After receiving Commercial status in 1942, the station’s call letters became more standard, becoming something like WBCW. In 1947, the station adopted the call letters of its parent AM station, adding “-TV” to the end of the call letters. As was noted earlier in this post, the FM Station would receive the same call letters as its AM parents a year later, with the addition of the “-FM” suffix.

The Television Station where Jane Read also works is a longstanding CBS or NBC Television affiliate, which it owes to the co-owned AM and FM Radio Stations being longtime CBS or NBC Radio affiliates.

Since the late 1940’s, both the FM and Television Stations where Jane Read also works at have transmitted their signals from the same Transmitter Site and Tower.

Since the late 1950’s, both the FM and Television Stations where Jane Read also works at have transmitted with an Effective Radiated Power of 1 megawatt. Or, in other words, the FM Station transmits its signal with an ERP of 1 megawatt; and the Television Station transmits its signal with an amalgamation of 500 kilowatts visual, and 500 kilowatts aural.

Forever and a day, the Reads’ Broadcasting Company mails out QSL Cards to anyone living anywhere the entire world over who has received the signal of the AM Station and/or the Shortwave Station. People living anywhere the entire world over have also received Sporadic E signals of the FM and Television Stations, and the Reads’ Broadcasting Company also responds by mailing QSL Cards to those who have received Sporadic E signals of the FM and/or the Television Station.

While ABC and PBS may exist in this fictitious scenario, Murdoch’s FOX Broadcasting Company does not exist.

When Arthur’s father David Read is on the job as a School Bus Driver, David is more concerned about the Chassis that a School Bus is on, the reputation of a School Bus Body coachbuilder, and the Engine and the Transmission that a School Bus has; instead of the pupils that he transports.

Nigel Ratburn happens to accept a position as the Principal of the Public Elementary School in the area where the Reads are moving to, and will serve as the Principal of the Elementary School where Arthur, D.W, and eventually Kate Read will attend.

Arthur and D.W also ride the School Bus to School, and they do not walk to school. David Read never takes any routes that involve transporting his own children to School while on the job.

Buster commits suicide by going into the kitchen of his and his mother’s apartment, grabbing a few of the kitchen knives, and stabbing himself (to death) with a few of the kitchen knives, in accordance with the new norm in the era in which I, the owner of this very Blog, am writing this post; of youth experiencing emotional distress to the point where they contemplate, and actually do commit suicide. Bitsie Baxter, the single and divorced mother of Buster, discovers the body of her recently deceased son on the kitchen floor, along with pools of his blood.

Bitsue Baxter, experiencing manic depression herself over her son having committed suicide, calls the authorities (including the Police Department and their Homicide Division, the Emergency Medical Service, and the Medical Examiner), and Bitsie also summons her ex-husband Beau, and her mother and her siblings to her apartment to make funeral arrangements.

Buster having committed suicide after the Reads have moved into their newly-acquired House, Bitsue calls the Reads’ newly-acquired House on her Apartment’s Home/Landline Telephone. Then, either one or both of Arthur’s parents would answer their Home Telephone, and Bitsie would inform David and Jane Read that her son, Buster, had committed suicide. She would also inform them that she, her mother, and her siblings were leaning toward Cremation or Alkaline Hydrolysis in regards to what to do with her son’s body. Bitsie explains further that Alkaline Hydrolysis is a legal chemical decomposition of the body.

As you, the reader, and probably a follower of Marc Brown’s Arthur and the related characters can probably deduce and assume, David and Jane Read only disclose to their son Arthur that his friend Buster had committed suicide, and they do not disclose to their son any details regarding how his friend had committed suicide, what funeral arrangements are being made, when and where any funerary and/or memorial services will be held, and how his friend’s corpse will be disposed of.

This storyline is consistent with the typical storyline for Marc Brown’s Arthur, which attempts to teach life’s lessons to an audience comprising primarily of children, including how life sometimes throws us humans twists and turns, and how life sometimes throws us lemons.

After the Reads move to the house that they’ve recently acquired, the characters known as the “Tough Customers”, Molly MacDonald, and the other characters known as “Rattles” and “Slink”, and their parents become right-wing extremists and white supremacists, they each become members of the Klu Klux Klan, and they support a fictional candidate for President of the United States that is modeled after both The Evil Donald Trump and one-time Presidential Candidate during the 1992 Republican Primary Election, white supremicist, and Klu Klux Klan member David Duke (pictured below).

Note: the placement of David Duke’s image does NOT imply that the owner of this blog, Marc Brown, or Marc Brown Studios like or support David Duke, Donald Trump, the Far Right, Extremism, or the Ku Klux Klan. The purpose of including David Duke’s image in this post is to inform the reader about who David Duke is and what he looks like.

The purpose of the “Tough Customers” and their parents becoming right-wing extremists is to demonstrate to the primarily young audience how dangerous extremism, race and gender supremacy, and totalitarianism are; to learn from the totalitarian regimes of Vladimir Putin and his efforts to restore the Soviet Union, the Kim Dynasty in North Korea, and the Communist and totalitarian regime in the People’s Republic of China (PRC); in addition to learning the effects of World War II, Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, Fascist Italy, the Ustaše in the Balkan States, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Emperor Hirohito before and during World War II, and Ante Pavelić.

To tend to each of the 11 acres they now live on, David and Jane Read purchase a Ford 1920 Compact Tractor (a badge-engineered Shibaura Tractor, a Japanese manufacturer of Tractors) that is 4-Wheel-Drive, is powered by a Shibaura-built 121 cubic inch 4-Cylinder Diesel Engine that produces 33 Brake Horsepower and 28.5 Power Take-Off (PTO) Unit Horsepower, a 12-Speed Mechanical Shuttle Transmission; and is equipped with a 72″ Mid-Mount Mower Deck Attachment, and a Snowblower Attachment.

Arthur is always tasked with the chore of utilizing the Ford 1920 Compact Tractor with the Mower Attachment during the warmer and cooler, non-snowy months; and the Snowblower Attachment during the cooler, snowy months to tend to the 11 acres of property that the Read household now lives on.

Note: Ford may have gained a Japanese partner, the Toyo Kogyo Company, Limited/Mazda, by buying a 24.5 percent stake in Toyo Kogyo Company, Limited/Mazda. However, Ford had already made a deal with Japanese Tractor manufacturer Shibaura a year earlier in 1973 to make badge-engineered low and mid-priced Garden, Sub-Compact, and Compact Tractors. Mazda was never in the business of developing and manufacturing Tractors or any other Turf, Agricultural, or Construction equipment, so Ford was never able to work with Mazda on that part of Ford’s business.

Note: Shibaura was founded in 1942 during the onset of WWII, the company began manufacturing Tractors and Engines in circa 1950-1951, as mentioned in the sentence above; Ford stuck a deal with Shibaura in 1973, to make badge-engineered low and mid-priced Garden, Sub-Compact, and Compact Tractors; Shibaura continued to make badge-engineered Garden, Sub-Compact, and Compact Tractors after Ford’s Tractor Division had merged with New Holland, Fiat bought out both Ford’s Tractor Division and New Holland, and Ford’s former Tractor Division was known as New Holland by Fiat Agri beginning in the year 1999; and in 1994, Shibaura had formed a joint venture with Engine manufacturer Perkins. In 1998, Perkins would become a subsidiary of Caterpillar.

To transport themselves, Arthur, his sisters, and his grandmother Thora all en masse at times, Arthur’s parents David and Jane Read purchase either a Chevrolet/GMC Suburban, and a GM, Ford, or Dodge Full-Size Van that is either a Conversion Van, or a well-equipped OEM/Stock Passenger Van.

Each of these aforementioned vehicles are a 3-Quarter-Ton/2500 model, and all but the Dodge Full-Size Van are equipped with a Big Block Gasoline V8 Engine. The Dodge Full-Size Van would be equipped with the Chrysler LA Architecture Small-Block 360 cubic inch V8 Gasoline Engine. The Suburban would be 4-Wheel-Drive with a Rear Locking Differential. Each and any of the Full-Size Vans would be Rear/2-Wheel-Drive with a Rear Locking or a Rear Limited Slip Differential. Each of these aforementioned vehicles would also be equipped with the highest available Rear Axle Ratio.

David and Jane Read also acquire as a secondary vehicle a brand-new N80 U.S Spec Toyota HiLux that Ed Crosswire gives to them. This U.S Spec Toyota HiLux that Ed Crosswire gives to them is a 4-Wheel-Drive model in the Regular Cab, Long Bed Configuration, powered by the 22R-E Engine, and the W55 Manual Transmission.

Ed Crosswire informs David and Jane Read that the Toyota Employee who was assigned to be the Chief Engineer of the N60-N110 Toyota HiLux is Shigeo Asai, and Ed also informs David and Jane about how much time and money Toyota had spent developing the R Engine prior to it going into production in 1953, and how much time and money Toyota had also spent developing the W Manual Transmission prior to it going into production in 1971.

Moreover, Ed Crosswire also informs David and Jane Read that the Towing Capacity is the same on the Standard U.S Spec N60-N110 Toyota HiLux, being 3,500 lbs./1,587 kgs.; whether it is Two or Four Wheel Drive, and whether it is equipped with the 22R-E or 3VZ-E Gasoline Engines. Whereas the Towing Capacity on the Metric 1-Ton Pickup model, and Chassis & Cab Dual Rear Wheel model, sold strictly in the North American Market with the 3VZ-E Engine, is 5,000 lbs./2,268 kgs.

Specifically, the N80 U.S Spec Toyota HiLux that Ed Crosswire gives to David and Jane Read is in the Deluxe Trim Level, is equipped with the Options and Packages being the Chrome Package, Convenience Package, Cruise Control Package, Touring Package, Window Package, the Shift-On-The Fly Transfer Case, Side Running Boards, Bedliner, Premium Chrome Rear Step Bumper, Cloth Seating Surfaces, Vinyl Flooring, Air Conditioning, Security Alarm, Deluxe AM/FM Radio with Cassette Player and 2 Speakers, Compact Disc Player, and the Acoustic Resonance Woofer; in the Exterior Color called Dark Blue Pearl, with the Blue Interior.

Ed Crosswire also throws in at no additional charge to David and Jane Read Dealer-Installed Accessories on the N80 U.S Spec HiLux, being a Class II Trailer Hitch, and Aluminum Wheels.

Ed Crosswire also throws in at no additional charge, a free brand-new Toyota Sports Car with the HiLux; giving David and Jane Read a choice of a U.S Spec T180 Celica, or a U.S Spec SW20 MR2. David and Jane choose the U.S Spec T180 Celica.

The U.S Spec T180 Celica that Ed Crosswire gives to David and Jane Read is in the GT-Four Trim Level, is powered by the 3S-GTE Turbocharged and Intercooled Gasoline Engine and the E150F Manual Transaxle.

Specifically, the Options and Packages that the U.S Spec T180 Celica that Ed Crosswire gives to David and Jane Read are equipped with are the Leather Seat Trim/Power Package, Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Power Sunroof, Air Conditioning with Automatic Climate Control, Vehicle Security System, and the “System 10” AM/FM Radio with Cassette and Compact Disc (CD) Players and 10 Speakers; in the Exterior Color called Medium Blue Pearl, with the Blue Interior.

David and Jane Read always keep the U.S Spec T180 Toyota Celica parked next to their Compact Tractor in the Pole Barn on their property. David and Jane Read only drive their the U.S Spec T180 Celica on special occasions, such as when they go out on the Town while Thora stays behind with their three children, and whenever David and Jane go on a Road Trip and a Vacation with just themselves; while Thora stays behind with their children.

David and Jane have priced out at their local Chevrolet and Ford dealerships a Chevrolet S-10, and a North American Ford Ranger Compact Pickup Truck in the Regular Cab, Long Bed configuration powered by the Cologne, Germany-produced 2.9 liter V6 Gasoline Engine (in the case of the Ranger), or the Option Code LL2 2.8 liter V6 (in the case of the S-10), an Automatic Transmission; a Rear Locking or Limited Slip Differential, and the highest available Rear Axle Ratio. Even with the highest available Rear Axle Ratio, David and Jane Read feel that the General Motors and Ford Compact Pickup Trucks, while still having the smaller V6 Engine, would get better fuel economy than if the North American Ranger had the larger Cologne-produced 4.0 liter V6 Engine, or if the S-10 had the larger, Chevrolet Small Block V8-derived 4.3 liter V6; while still having more power than the 4-Cylinder Engine that is standard in both the General Motors and Ford Compact Pickup Trucks.

David and Jane Read have also looked at the MJ Jeep Comanche powered by the AMC 2.5 liter 4-Cylinder Engine and equipped with the Metric 1-Ton Package, a version of the K00 Mitsubishi Triton/Mighty Max that is badge-engineered by the Chrysler Corporation as the Dodge Ram 50 powered by the Mitsubishi 4G54 Gasoline Engine, an AN-Platform Dodge Dakota powered by the K-Car 2.5 liter Normally Aspirated 4-cylinder Engine, and a UF Mazda B2200 powered by the Mazda F2 Engine.

Ed Crosswire gives Arthur’s Grandmother Thora a U.S Spec V20 Toyota Camry Station Wagon/Estate Car powered by the 3S-FE Engine and the A140E Automatic Transaxle, in the Mid-Range DLX Trim Level, in the Exterior Color called Medium Red Pearl, with the Interior Color called Maroon.

Specifically, the U.S Spec V20 Toyota Camry Station Wagon/Estate Car is equipped with the Options and Packages being the Power Package, Tachometer, Vehicle Security System, Cruise Control, Deluxe AM/FM Radio with Cassette Player and 4 Speakers, Standalone Compact Disc (CD) Player, Power Sunroof, Adjustable Roof Rack, and Air Conditioning.

Ed Arthur’s Grandmother Thora about how much time and money Toyota had spent developing the S Engine prior to it going into production in 1980, and how much time and money Toyota had also spent developing the A140 Automatic Transaxle prior to it going into production in circa 1981-1982.

A couple years later, Ed Crosswire gives David and Jane Read a unique to the North American market, Hino-designed, and Japanese-built CK20 T100 Midsize Pickup Truck, in the Regular Cab, Long Bed configuration, is 4-Wheel-Drive, is powered by the 3VZ-E Engine and the W59 Manual Transmission. In part and parcel, Ed Crosswire takes the N80 HiLux he had given to them a couple years earlier in on trade.

Specifically, the CK20 T100 Midsize Pickup Truck that Ed Crosswire gives to David and Jane Read is in the range-topping Sport-Rally Five (SR5) Trim Level, is equipped with the Options and Packages being the Alloy Wheel Package, Premium AM/FM Radio with Cassette Player and 7 Speakers, 6-Disc CD Changer, Vehicle Security System, Side Running Boards, Bedliner, Premium Chrome Rear Step Bumper, and the Acoustic Resonance Woofer; in the Exterior Color called Dark Blue Pearl, with the Blue Interior.

At the same time, Ed Crosswire also gives Arthur’s Grandmother Thora an XV10 Toyota Camry Station Wagon/Estate Car, powered by the 5S-FE Engine and the A140E Automatic Transaxle, in the LE Trim Level; and Ed takes the V20 Camry Wagon/Estate Car that he had given to her a couple years ago in on trade.

Specifically, the U.S Spec XV10 Toyota Camry Station Wagon/Estate Car is equipped with the Options and Packages being the Third Seat Package, Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Power Moonroof, Aluminum-Alloy Wheels, Front-End Mask With Storage Bag, Carpeted Floor Mats, Vehicle Security System, and the Stand Alone Compact Disc Player; in the Exterior Color called Super White, with the Blue Interior.

Ed Crosswire informs Arthur’s Grandmother Thora of the fact that the 5S-FE Engine in the U.S Spec XV10 Toyota Camry Station Wagon/Estate Car that Ed is giving to her, is basically a bored and stroked version of the 3S-FE Normally Aspirated Engine; and Toyota chose to develop the 5S-FE as an alternative to developing a version of the 3S-GTE with an “F” designation Economy-oriented Cylinder Head, but still Turbocharged; for markets that want a more powerful quotidian 4-Cylinder offering in Corona/Carina/Celica, MR2, and Camry-based vehicles than what the 3S-FE has been able to put out. In the end, Toyota chose to develop the bored and stroked Normally Aspirated version of the 3S-FE, the 5S; rather than develop a lower performance, but equal output version of the 3S-GTE that would be known as a 3S-FTE.

Ed Crosswire then informs Arthur’s Grandmother Thora of the facts that likewise to the “F” designation in Toyota’s Engine terminology denoting an Economy-oriented Cylinder Head, that the “G” designation in Toyota’s Engine terminology denotes a Performance-oriented Cylinder Head (hence the 3S-GTE and 4A-GZE Engine designations, as an example); and that the U.S Spec XV10 Toyota Camry Station Wagon/Estate Car also has the A140E Automatic Transaxle just like the V20 Camry Station Wagon that Ed gave Thora a couple years earlier, and is currently taking in on trade.

A year later, Ed Crosswire gives David and Jane Read a U.S Spec D21 Nissan Hardbody Pickup Truck at his Nissan dealership, and in part and parcel; takes the CK20 Toyota T100 that Ed had given to them a year earlier, in on trade at his Nissan dealership.

Specifically, the U.S Spec D21 Nissan Hardbody Pickup Truck that Ed Crosswire gives to David and Jane Read at his Nissan dealership is powered by the VG30E Engine and the FS5R30A Manual Transmission, is 4-Wheel-Drive, is in the Extended Cab, Short Bed configuration; is in the range-topping SE Trim Level, is equipped with the Options and Packages being the Sport and Power Package, Rear Limited-Slip Differential, Air Conditioning, and Alloy Wheels; in the Exterior Color called Sapphire Blue with Gray and Silver-colored Exterior Graphics, with the Blue Interior.

Ed Crosswire does not need to throw in a Bedliner because a Bedliner is standard on the range-topping SE Trim Level, as far as the U.S Spec D21 Nissan Hardbody Pickup Truck. Ed Crosswire, however; does throw in the following Dealer-Installed Accessories, being a standalone CD Player, Trailer Hitch, Hitch Ball and Tongue, Running Boards, Battery Warmer, Rubber Floor Mats, Wheel Locks, and an Armrest for the Front Bucket Seats and Center Console.

At the same time, Arthur’s Grandmother Thora accepts the U.S Spec WD21 4-Door Nissan Terrano/Pathfinder that Ed Crosswire talks Thora into giving to her. As a result, Ed Crosswire, at his Nissan dealership, takes the U.S Spec XV10 Toyota Camry Station Wagon/Estate Car that Ed had given to Thora a year earlier; in on trade.

Specifically, the U.S Spec WD21 4-Door Nissan Terrano/Pathfinder that Ed Crosswire gives to Arthur’s Grandmother Thora at his Nissan dealership is 4-Wheel-Drive, is powered by the VG30E Engine and the FS5R30A Manual Transmission, is in the XE Trim Level, is equipped with the Options and Packages being the Convenience Package, Sport Package, Rear Limited-Slip Differential, Air Conditioning, and the standalone Compact Disc (CD) Player; in the Exterior Color called Cherry Red Pearl, with the Red Interior.

The Dealer-Installed Accessories that Ed Crosswire throws in on the U.S Spec WD21 4-Door Nissan Terrano/Pathfinder that he is giving to Arthur’s Grandmother Thora are the Running Boards, Battery Warmer, Trailer Hitch (but not the Hitch Ball and Tongue), Rear Window Wind Deflector, and the Carpeted Floor Mats.

Ed Crosswire instills into Thora, David, and Jane Read the facts that Nissan’s VG Engine is Japan’s very first mass-produced V6 Engine, how much effort and money Nissan had spent developing the VG Engine prior to it entering production in 1983, that there have always been rumors spreading around that Nissan was inspired to design and build the VG Engine after having somehow experienced the Alfa Romeo V6 Engine that is built in Italy, and that the Chassis of the D21 Hardbody Truck and the WD21 Terrano/Pathfinder is pretty much the same as the preceding 720 generation of Nissan Pickup Truck, save for the redesigned Cab and Bed, the 2-Door Utility, and 4-Door Station Wagon bodies that had debuted in 1986, the addition of the VG30 V6 Engine and Rear-Wheel Anti-Lock Brakes, and the replacement of the Z20 and Z24 Engines with the KA24E and KA24DE Engines that are a further development of the Z24 Engine.

Ed Crosswire, and David Read both show his mother Thora Read how and when to use the Shift-On-The-Fly 4-Wheel-Drive Transfer Case on the U.S Spec WD21 4-Door Nissan Terrano/Pathfinder that Ed is giving to Thora.

The following year, David and Jane Read; having decided that they’ve had enough of Japanese Compact Trucks, decide to trade in the U.S Spec D21 Nissan Hardbody Pickup Truck that Ed Crosswire had given to them a year earlier, for a North American Ford Ranger that David and Jane Read have ordered.

The North American Ford Ranger that David and Jane Read have ordered is in the Regular Cab, Long Bed configuration, is 4-Wheel-Drive, is in the XLT Trim Level, is equipped with Equipment Group 867A, is powered by the Pinto as the 2.3 liter 4-Cylinder (also used, in Normally Aspirated and Turbocharged forms, in many Fox-platform vehicles, Argentinian versions of the Taunus, Sierra, and Falcon, and in the North American spec version of the Sierra 3-Door Hatchback known as the Merkur XR4TI, and is also sold by Ford Power Products in Industrialized and Marinized form as the LRG-425) and the Mazda M5OD-R1 Manual Transmission, is equipped with the Options being the Rear Limited-Slip Differential, 6-Disc CD Changer, Bodyside Protection Moldings, Deluxe Lower-Band Two Tone Paint, 4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brakes, Super Engine Cooling, Deep Dish Cast Aluminum Wheels, and Payload Package #2; in the Exterior Colors Brilliant Blue Clearcoat Metallic/Black Clearcoat, with the Interior Color called Royal Blue.

The Dealer-Installed Accessories that David and Jane Read have installed on their North American Ford Ranger are a Bedliner, Running Boards, and a Trailer Hitch.

At the same time, Arthur’s Grandmother Thora has become accustomed to owning and driving a Sport Utility Wagon, but has had enough of the U.S Spec WD21 4-Door Nissan Terrano/Pathfinder that Ed Crosswire had given to her a year earlier. Moreover, Thora decides that she does not need 4-Wheel-Drive, and that 2-Wheel-Drive with a Rear Locking or Limited Slip Differential is adequate for her need to have additional traction at times. As a result, Thora trades in the WD21 4-Door Nissan Terrano/Pathfinder for a UN150 4-Door Ford Explorer.

The UN150 4-Door Ford Explorer that Arthur’s grandmother Thora had ordered is 2-Wheel-Drive, is powered by the Cologne, Germany-built 4.0 liter V6 Engine and the A4LD Automatic Transmission, is in the XLT Trim Level, is equipped with Equipment Group 945A, is equipped with the Options being the Power Moonroof, Two-Tone Rocker Paint, Running Boards, Deep-Dish Cast Aluminum Wheels, 3:73 Limited Slip Performance Rear Axle with Trailer Towing Package, and the 6-Disc CD Changer; in the Light Willow Green Clearcoat Metallic/Charcoal Gray Clearcoat Metallic, with the Interior Color called Willow Green.

During the years Ed Crosswire gives David, Jane, and Thora Read the Toyota, and Nissan vehicles; and when they acquire the North American Ford Ranger and the UN150 4-Door Ford Explorer’ David and Jane Read successively replace their Suburban, or GM, Ford, Or Dodge Full-Size Van with more that are 3-Quarter-Ton/2500 models’.

Some relatives of the Reads are also NASCAR team owners, and they represent the organization’s traditionalist establishment. It is the ultimate objective of these Read family members to prevent modern, athletic, dynamic, and progressive Drivers like Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, or Elliott Sadler (to name a few) and members of the Pit Crew who are kindred spirits to these modern Drivers from taking over NASCAR and making it as appealing to the average person as say; Basketball, American Football, Baseball, Hockey, and Soccer/Association Football.

These relatives of the Reads who are NASCAR Team owners rarely travel to the Reads’ newly-acquired homestead on certain Holidays (such as, for example; any given Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas), but, they do attend each Read Family Reunion that David and Jane Read hold on their newly-acquired homestead, which includes relatives from both David and Jane’s sides of their family.

Modern NASCAR Drivers Jimmie Johnson, Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Regan Smith, Richard Childress’s grandsons Austin and Tyler Dillon, Dave Blaney’s son Ryan Blaney, Bill Elliott’s son Chase Elliott, Randy LaJoie’s son Corey LaJoie; modern Formula 1 Drivers Nick Heidfeld and Jenson Button, and modern Indy Car Drivers James Hinchcliffe, Robert Wickens, Josef Newgarden, and Conor Daly are each cast in this story as Guest Stars.

One purpose of having these modern NASCAR, Indy Car, and Formula 1 Drivers as Guest Stars in this story would be to instill into the audience consisting mostly of children that being flexible, adaptive, athletic, modern, progressive, dynamic, and amicable are all bad things; whereas being inflexible, unadaptable, unathletic, disharmonious, stodgy, and old-fashioned are all good things.

Another purpose of having these modern NASCAR, Indy Car, and Formula 1 Drivers as Guest Stars in this story is to instill into the audience consisting of mostly children that pursuing careers in Sports (whether it an Athlete, a Coach, or an employee in a Team or Sanctioning Body’s Office), and in Fitness (whether it be a Personal Trainer or an Athletic Coach) are bad career paths to choose; while the Automotive Industry (working in Detroit, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Toyota City, Yokohama, Seoul, Wolfsburg, Stuttgart, Munich, Hanoi, anywhere in China the Chinese Automakers are based, and anywhere in India the Indian Automakers are based), and the Commercial Broadcast Radio and Television Industry are good career paths to choose.

Note: In earlier times, Birmingham, England, United Kingdom (more specifically, located in the West Midlands of England); was where the bygone British Auto Industry was based. A British national, or a foreigner would have needed to live in the West Midlands in order to work in the bygone British Auto Industry.

Yet another purpose of having these modern NASCAR, Indy Car, and Formula 1 Drivers as Guest Stars in this story is to instill into the audience consisting of mostly children that Sports is a bad hobby, even if it is not the career path they choose to pursue later in their lives; whereas Amateur/Ham Radio is a good hobby.

Jimmie Johnson, Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Regan Smith, Richard Childress’s grandsons Austin and Tyler Dillon, Dave Blaney’s son Ryan Blaney, Bill Elliott’s son Chase Elliott, Randy LaJoie’s son Corey LaJoie, modern Formula 1 Drivers Nick Heidfeld and Jenson Button each being flexible, adaptive, athletic, modern, progressive, dynamic, and amicable are indeed exhibited in this story.

The Read’s relatives who come from the old school of NASCAR, and continue to own the NASCAR Team that they founded in 1968; are very hostile towards Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Regan Smith, Richard Childress’s grandsons Austin and Tyler Dillon, Dave Blaney’s son Ryan Blaney, Bill Elliott’s son Chase Elliott, Randy LaJoie’s son Corey LaJoie, their (younger and modern) peers, Jenson Button, Nick Heidfeld, James Hinchcliffe, Robert Wickens, Josef Newgarden, and Conor Daly.

The Reads’ relatives do everything they can to keep from modern Automobile Racers Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Regan Smith, Richard Childress’s grandsons Austin and Tyler Dillon, Dave Blaney’s son Ryan Blaney, Bill Elliott’s son Chase Elliott, Randy LaJoie’s son Corey LaJoie from entering NASCAR, from modern Automobile Racers from Europe such as Jenson Button and Nick Heidfeld from also entering into NASCAR, and other modern Automobile Racers such as James Hinchcliffe, Robert Wickens, Josef Newgarden, and Conor Daly from also potentially entering into NASCAR.

The Reads’ relatives do everything they can to keep foreign automakers such as Toyota, any other Japanese automaker, Vinfast, any Korean automakers, any Chinese automakers, and any Indian automakers from ever having a presence in NASCAR.

Francine has Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards working as personal fitness trainers for her.

Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Regan Smith, Richard Childress’s grandsons Austin and Tyler Dillon, Dave Blaney’s son Ryan Blaney, Bill Elliott’s son Chase Elliott, Randy LaJoie’s son Corey LaJoie, Nick Heidfeld, Jenson Button, James Hinchcliffe, Robert Wickens, Josef Newgarden, and Conor Daly each play on multiage amateur Basketball Teams with Francine, Shelley “Binky”, Alberto Molina, Sue Ellen, Fern, Prunella, and Alex Davidson.

In the Reads’ prior House that the Frenskys have acquired, and moved into, in what was formerly D.W’s Bedroom and is now Catherine Frensky’s Bedroom; Catherine Frensky engages in sexual activities with Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Nick Heidfeld, and Jenson Button.

In acts of humor, Catherine Frensky teethes on the muscular arms and legs like a how a Dog would, and then grabs, squeezes, and twits the chests and biceps of Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Nick Heidfeld, and Jenson Button.

Regan Smith, Richard Childress’s grandsons Austin and Tyler Dillon, Dave Blaney’s son Ryan Blaney, Bill Elliott’s son Chase Elliott, Randy LaJoie’s son Corey LaJoie, James Hinchcliffe, Robert Wickens, Josef Newgarden, and Conor Daly each serve as “Big Brother” mentors through the Big Brothers and Big Sisters mentoring organization to Alberto and Vicita Molina, Sue Ellen, Fern, Prunella, and Alex Davidson.

In the end, these modern Automobile Racers wind up where they truly belong, as Professional Stick and Ball athletes instead of ever making it into any sectioning body of Automobile Racing.

Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Richard Childress’s grandsons Austin and Tyler Dillon, and Randy LaJoie’s son Corey LaJoie either find themselves being Professional Basketball Players in the NBA, Professional American Football Players in the NFL, or Professional Baseball Players in the MLB.

Additionally, Kevin Harvick might also find himself as a Professional Hockey Player in the NHL.

Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, Kasey Kahne, Jenson Button, Nick Heidfeld, James Hinchcliffe, Robert Wickens, Josef Newgarden, and Conor Daly each find themselves being Professional Basketball Players in the NBA.

Brian Vickers finds himself being a Professional Basketball Player in the NBA, or a Professional Baseball player in the MLB.

Regan Smith finds himself being a Professional Basketball Player in the NBA, a Professional American Football Player in the NFL, or a Professional Hockey Player in the NHL.

Bill Elliott’s son Chase Elliott finds himself being a Professional Baseball Player in the MLB.

Carl Edwards not only becomes inflexible, unadaptable, unathletic, disharmonious, stodgy, and old-fashioned; but Jimmie Johnson also becomes as heavy and overweight as the people pictured below:

Jimmie Johnson not only becomes nflexible, unadaptable, unathletic, disharmonious, stodgy, and old-fashioned; but Jimmie Johnson also becomes as heavy and overweight as his father Gary, pictured below:

Moreover, Jimmie Johnson also becomes as heavy and overweight as the men pictured below:

Also, in the end; resulting from efforts by the Reads’ relative who own a NASCAR Team, NASCAR forevermore remains complacent, NASCAR eternally holds onto the ways it had during the 1970’s, 1980’s, and 1990’s when it was a Car enthusiasts club rather than being a cohort to Basketball, Football, Hockey, Baseball, and Soccer; it never matters if Drivers and members of the Pit Crew are unathletic, heavy, and overweight; foreign automakers never have a presence in NASCAR, Drivers such as Richard and Kyle Petty, Dale Earnhardt Sr., Bobby and Davey Allison, Rusty Wallace, Bill Elliott, Sterling Marlin, J.D McDuffie, Jimmy Means, Geoff and Brett Bodine, Ernie Irvan, Lake Speed, Rick Mast, Randy LaJoie, Billy Standridge, and Rick Wilson; and kindred spirits to each of these aforementioned Drivers forevermore have a presence in NASCAR.

Last, in the end; Bitsie Baxter incepts a Foundation for counseling, and preventing suicide amongst children, adolescents, and adults.
