Next stop: major tune up!!!

So my friends, the adventure continues.

I ripped up the carpet in MoHo last week because it was old and filthy and then we cleaned the crap out of the interior. Now all we need is foam padding for the bunk, flooring of some sort, and fix the leaky roof.

OH, and did I mention a tune up?!

Yeah, that's MoHo broken down on the side of the road, aaaannnnddd...

....this is MoHo about to be towed by my step dad's truck.

So here is the story. I was out shopping for fabric to sew new drapes for MoHo when I get a call from Tia. She said that she was following Wayne as he was driving MoHo to our friend's house when MoHo broke down at a stoplight and wouldn't start back up. So needless to say, they were blocking a lane of traffic through FIVE green lights... at which point they decided it may be prudent to coast her BACKWARDS to get her onto the shoulder and out of everyone's way. Good choice seeing as three cops passed their way. We wouldn't want to be in trouble with the law man now would we??
Let me back up a little bit: When we bought MoHo the guy selling her said that the gas gauge was broken but that there should be about $70 in the tank. So we were thinking maybe he lied (little turd) so Tia called our step dad to bring them some gas.
That seemed to do the trick... until they got to the next stoplight. Causing a traffic jam, yet again. They got her started back up again and pulled off into a parking lot.
By this time I was over in the same area so I met up with them. I roll down my window and Wayne immediately says "You're not getting out of this!!" Poor guy was stressin out everytime MoHo caused a traffic jam. Understandable. Bless his heart.
So, since MoHo is still running at this point we decide to caravan on down the road. MoHo, Kippo, Rhonda, and Diesel. (You obviously already know who MoHo is so we'll skip that one. Kippo is Tia's car. Rhonda is my Honda. Creative, I know. And Diesel is our step dad's truck, which I've taken the liberty of naming.)
So we're back on the road and surprise surprise, MoHo only makes it to the next stoplight. I take a right at the light and am followed by my step dad. He turns around and heads the wrong way on the shoulder of the road to get right up next to MoHo. Meanwhile their is a CLUSTER forming behind MoHo on a really busy road, around rush hour no less. So step dad jumps out of Diesel and hooks up a towing chain and pulls MoHo onto the side road. We decide the best option is to just have step dad tow MoHo the whole way. Slow and steady but we finally made it.
So MoHo is nice and cozy parked on the side of a friend's house. For now.

Next stop: major tune up!!!

P.S. big thanks to Wayner, step dad, and the friends letting MoHo visit their yard. We owe you. Cuppycakes maybe?? :)
