The next day, Danny decided to drive himself and Sam to school. His parents had been so pleased that his grades had gone up over the years that they had bought him a sleek new Porsche. It was black, and Danny had the front painted with green flames. Of course, it wouldn't be complete without several tons of ghost-hunting equipment that his parents had jammed into it, just in case there was a ghost attack while he was on the road. He pulled up to Sam's house and honked the horn. She came outside, followed by her parents, who saw the car and immediately fainted out of shock and surprise.
"I think I could get used to this," she mused. "Be sure to drive me more often." He held the steering wheel with his left hand and put his right around her waist.
"Anything for you, Sammy."
"Don't call me that!" she said, blushing. Danny noticed that she didn't try to remove his arm.
On the way to school, they passed the familiar moving supplies store. Suddenly, what looked like a million boxes flew out from the store. "BEWARE!" the Box Ghost yelled at the top of his lungs.
"So don't have time for this," Danny said. He pressed a button on the dashboard and a control panel appeared where the radio was supposed to be. He then flipped two switches that were located on the upper left-hand corner of the control panel-the first one activated a Ghost Detection Device that automatically locked onto the Box Ghost, placing his exact coordinates on the mainframe of the computer that was located behind the panel. The second caused a Fenton Thermos to emerge from the hood, using the same technology that Skulker employed when summoning a rocket launcher from his exo-skeleton. It followed the directions that the computer had saved and released its tractor beam at the exact place where the Box Ghost was floating. Once he got sucked into the thermos, Danny immediately turned of the ghost scanner so that it wouldn't lock onto him. Then he flipped the switch that would put the thermos back in its place and turn the anti-ghost control panel back into a normal car radio.
"You do realize that you just thoroughly schooled the guys who work for Pimp My Ride, right?" Sam asked with a smirk.
"One time when we were visiting relatives in LA they saw us in the Specter Speeder. They all got on their knees and started to chant 'we are not worthy.'" The two of them laughed it up for the rest of the car ride.
Nobody else at their school had seen the technology that Danny's parents had installed in his car. But that didn't make much of a difference to them when Danny and Sam pulled up into the senior's parking lot, as the paint job was impressive enough to the easily impressionable mind of a teenage boy.
"Whoa, sweet ride, Dan!" exclaimed some junior Danny didn't know. He received several hundred comments like this until people finally got bored by the car and went to ogle Paulina instead. After he helped Sam out of the car, he put on the anti-theft device. Just then, Dash walked up to them.
"Hey, Fen-tina, would it be okay with you if me and my friends wanted to borrow your car for a bit?"
"I don't mind, but the car really wouldn't appreciate it; I just got a new anti-theft device installed. I wouldn't recommend that you test it though, for your own sakes."
"Yeah, right, like I'd believe that. C'mon guys!" He got seven other jocks to grab the underside of the car and try to flip it over. Suddenly, the car began to beep "GHOST ALERT! GHOST ALERT! GHOST ALERT!" Eight ecto-guns emerged from the interior of the car and blasted the jocks with green ectoplasmic goo.
"I tried to warn you guys," Danny said with a smirk. Ignoring the complaints that they'd never get this stuff out of their jackets, he walked his girlfriend into the building.
