She hops in the Bus looking all ‘Country Mom’ today with her flannel button-up shirt, big leather belt, tight jeans and brown leather cowgirl boots over her jeans.
“Let’s see how the Bus is running.” as she fires it up. It starts up seemingly easy but then stalls on her. Now it’s just flooded and is being a bitch to get started again. It’s a bit of a challenge to work the pedals and stay in the seat since the way the Bus is angled she keeps sliding out. She keeps working the gas pedal to get the engine fired up again and eventually gets it going again. She does some light revving and the video fades out.
We pick back up with Vivian at the shop to pick up something from one of the other cars that are there. Seeing that we’re low on gas, it’s time to head to get some more. We get to the gas station without further incidents and she hops out to fill’er up! Once done, she gets back in, hits the gas a few times and turns the key. The Bus cranks up but then conks out quickly as she tries to lightly rev it and clear it out.
“So are we going back, should I change outfits…or should we take her for a little run?” she’s asking me as she’s cranking the Bus. She flooded it a little by not paying attention and now we’re stuck at the gas station. I have to talk to her a bit to help her through this so we don’t get stranded at the gas station. I don’t have an extra battery nor do I have jumper cables on me and I don’t want to eat up the day having to get it towed. So, with a little guidance from me, she keeps trying to get the Bus fired up.
Ok, now that the Bus finally started, back on the road again….sorta. She pulls out from the gas station and as I’m watching her drive, we both can just feel that the Bus is just really struggling to get up to speed — more-so than normal. It also sounds a little off. I tell her to do a u-turn and head back home because something ain’t right. We talk some ideas and thoughts on the way back…unfortunately, nothing works.
