Yeah, Syracuse gets waaay more snow then we do, it's just that when we do get it it all comes down at once and I live in the foothills to a mountain range. I love it when my 2 wheel drive bus passes the 4wd pickup trying to lock his hubs in. My Buick front wheel drive does even better than both of those though. I know, I know this is a bus forum  |

[ I let off just before I hit 85 on a long open stretch of highway.
Have you replaced those ratty ass tires prior to doing 85??? Great story.

Welcome and thankyou for joining our little group to resurrect a thread from 2008 with such a positive comment, what a little ray of sunshine you are, care to share pics of your bus and what you do with it?

I have a bus that is just as or more rusty than that one, same colors and everything. I still drive it regularly and am actually starting to do some body repair on it. I got a complete slider track/rocker from a junkyard in Arizona to weld in for starters. I drove it for 10 years and abused the heck out of it, now it's time to give back to it.

Yeah. Just looked at his ad for a completely rotted out junk splitty that's missing most of the interior. Didn't do anything to it for 20+ years, so he must be talkin' about his own. |

Ok....just like every other asshole walking this planet, you're more than entitled to your opinion. Half assed and grammatical nightmare it is, but your opinion nonetheless. I dragged this Bus home in 2007...let's have a quick rundown of some of the places that "not worth getting for free" Bus has taken me, shall we?
Started out in Nashville, IN
Home to East Syracuse, NY where I got it running
First trip took me through NY, into VT and NH and finally into MA
