Hey thats a cool bus dude. You'll like it so much that the bugs will barely be driven I bet....there's nothing quite like a splitty. Bugs are for beginners, congrats you just graduated to split window university. Cool

typically, unless kids parents give them money, they go from selling licorice in 3rd-6th grade, to 7th, 8th and 9th where income is produced by selling firecrackers, the rest of highschool one deals loose joints and small quantities of pot, college=dealing doses and large quantities of post, post college, one either becomes the chic cocaine dealer or starts flipping cars.

Looks like a sweet splitty....congrats and have fun with it. If you take care of it when your my age Shocked that could be worth a lot more than what you paid for it. It is a good investment for a young man.

This thread makes me glad to be old.

Congrats on the Bus - you'll probably find that you won't drive your Bugs much now.
