Protecting his clothes from dirty parts why he does some stuff in the engine?
I've put a towel over the center like that before |
He's setting it up to cover the license plate for the craigslist ad photos.

Here's what I think.
The weather is snotty cold. The bus is a non-walkthrough and even may have a sliding divider. The heater is barely able to keep up much less defrost the front glass. The guy taking the photo is the driver. His partner uses the rag as much as he can to wipe the inside of the windshields reaching over to the driver side often. The rag gets soaked so they pull over and drape it over the bumper and let the hot engine air dry it before they go another fer piece. That's the hot air blowing it back in the photo. The filmed it because they thought it was genius. |
