"Nah, they never try to surprise me. They're heading down to Bakersfield, it'll take them a while to get back, anyway."

He remembered suddenly that, uh, he should be buckling up, just in case - and so he motioned to the relatively 21st century seat-belts. "They're not exactly standard - usually you have at least two straps, but my dad thinks these look better, so." Another button on the remote triggered the garage door, which slid sideways instead of vertically - another weird thing his dad happened to like.
