It must be Halloween

How about suping the van up with big wheels and all, and
entering it in the Monster Truck Circuit.
Also, mount a couple of jet engines and enter drag races in
the  Funny Van category.
Put wings on it and a couple of booster tanks, and go to
outer space, the Moon, and even Mars.  Make sure to take
plenty of food and lighting instructions for the fridge.
That would make you an Astronaut.
Don't tell NASA about this.

Have a nice day
