I see the bumper. It's on your......er...Ken's bus. All bent up so I wouldn't feel bad about drilling holes in it.

That picture makes me sad with all the corpses in the background. Of course all the Samba vultures have already circled and picked over the most recent body.

I want a piece.
Quote from Kevin Spacey
Seriously though, I just got a package today from Ken. No, it’s not what you’re thinking.
If there was a piece of your Bus that I could fit on mine I’d be proud. Even a beer cap would do but I know you don’t drink, smoke, or take drugs. You drive. So drive on brother. Just don’t drive my Bus... hahaha. How about an autographed hub cap? Ill pay $50 for s straight one and $75 if it’s been stuartized

Thanks guys. I really appriciate it! definately grew up since the first day I found it, and will continue to grow up and learn till my last breath. Looking forward to coming back to busses a few years from now with some cash flow $$$ and a prior knowledge and really building a solid rig properly and using it much more often.
Glad to still be here, wouldn’t have minded heading home early but I guess He still has a plan for me here!!

Well Stewie... you and Maisy were together a long time, and this sucks, but we're all glad it's Maisy and not you being the organ donor.

It's sad to lose Maisy, one of the diminishing number of Bay Westies, but the big lug with the oversize heart is even more rare, in fact, one of a kind, and I'm glad he is still with us.
That's all I have to say about that.
