This Bus may need help...

This lovely bus has been parked in the same spot in Seattle long enough that the police have tagged it. It may need to be rescued.

Does anyone recognize it?

I think you mean that you drive by that bus?

Sure would look good at a Stanford tailgate party. Very Happy

FUCK THAT! I hope you are joking! That is what happened to me with a '70 Ghia convertible. Turned out my landlord stole it. Years later it turned up in a body shop. I had my paper work, but the cops said now it belonged to her friend. Mad

My HOA threatened me to have an old pick up truck towed. They claimed it was non-op. I only used it for dump hauls and mulch pick ups, and the likes. I started it up with the leaking VERY loud exhaust and drove it around the block once a week. I parked it face in one week, ass in the other. then they left me alone.

I am joking, stealing is wrong. Unless you move it so it doesn't get impounded.
I would get their info from the DMV and see if they can be contacted.

Also, HOA sucks. I get letters monthly.

Are those CA plates? Does someone know a cop who can run the plates to find the owner. I would gladly fly out and bring it to IL if it is being abandoned.

It's only funny until the jokes on you. I am not the only one this has happened to. The Samba has more than a few tales of this nature. Mad

Only has 96K miles, while in another 4K it will be reborn having only 0 miles. Maybe he can get 40K for having a super low mileage "phoenix" bus then.
