Our Limo Adventure

Brad came up Saturday night and informed us that he was in the middle of buying a Limousine from some guy up in Ogden.  ????   Yeah, that's what we thought.  But he told us that it was a Tuacahn thing and we understood.  They're crazy.  He told us that he was going to chop the top off of it and build a float on top.  Yep.  That's Brad.  Always has his creative juices flowing.  So once he got a hold of the guy, Joel and I took him up there.  Ogden itself is sketchy but this limo was in a storage facility that was in the middle of nowhere.  It was scary.  We were Brad's back up if anything were to go down.  Hahaha.  I could probably do more damage than either Brad or Joel.  But the guy turned out to be really nice and bent over backwards to help Brad out.  He was fixing it up as we drove in.  He said that it drove nice but needed a new steering column and that he had bought one and it was in the back seat.  Sure enough, I opened the back doors and there it was laying on the ground.  The interior of this 1980's beast was Blue Plush.  The exterior was WHITE!  Oh man it was posh.  So, Brad did all the paper work and then we were off.  We got back on the freeway and the limo died 1 mile down the road.  ONE MILE!  It was hilarious!   The guy had to jump start it once while we were there and the gas tank said that it had a 1/4 of a tank, which Brad assumed he could get to Lehi on.  He was wrong.  Brad called the guy and he ran to the gas station, got 5 gallons of gas and then came out to save us.  After he put it in, it started right up.  Then he said to follow him to Auto Zone and he'd buy a new battery.  So we did.   Brad never has another problem with it.  It was crazy! 

 When we got home the kids went wild!  They were so excited.  Brad took Ben, Josh Emily and George back to St. George in it.  Shayne said that Brad look just like a limo driver with that mustache.

We pulled off on Exit 13 so we could get our kids and Brad wouldn't have to drive that thing through all of our neighborhoods.  Not that the kids didn't want him too, it was just faster that way so we could all get home.  This will definitely be a memory that the kids will never forget!
