Oh, and I just gotta add this little bit in for after he gets clearance to land...
Benjamin put the Bullet Boy Express into a wickedly tight sling-shot orbit around Grover's Corners - anyone watching would have been treated to the sight of the little flying Jetta streaking down one side, then up the other. After the return, Benjamin pulled into one more tight turn, aiming straight for the Garage that he'd been directed to.
"Jumping Jesus Christ! He's coming in too fast!"
"Oh this? Just watch, this is one of his signature moves."
"What!?"
Just as the Bullet Boy Express passed the threshold of the garage, the thruster-wheels suddenly snapped up into their road positions and the little sedan dropped to the deck, powersliding sideways until the car came to a very neat halt, perfectly parrallel to the back wall of the garage and with the perfect amount of space for Benjamin to open the door and step out in his Hazardous Environment suit. The sound of the screeching tires had been heard all the way to the other end of Grover's Corners.
"And that was a perfect example of his Powerslide Landing, often attmepted by others, but never duplicated."
