how can it be too cold, they heat it with nuclear energy.
it probably glows and makes night surfing possible too.

You guys charge $15 to get 'access' to San Onofre Beach - then you don't even go in the water because its too cold...I talked the gate guy into a freebie though....you have to know these things to be a King |

Well balls, that market sucks. Time to pick up and hit up Stamford. Pretty sure nobody there is shoveling snow from their driveway. All out sourced 
You gave it a try and split 20 bucks with your buddy. Good on you for trying. Don’t be a wuss and give up. Did you guys at least make snow angels?

Yeah, I went out yesterday to check and I was like, "15 people have snowblowers, 20 people still have filled driveways, and one lady already said no". I went out this morning, 17/20 of the driveways were cleared and the ones that were not, the people weren't home or they were having someone come over later to do it. To be honest, my mom thought we wouldn't make anything. I'll keep trying, just get out early for the next storm. Sadly Xevin... we didn't make snow angels

I do agree. Yet I find it more compelling then a trip to Alaska from Chile.
Keep rollin tough CTbug. Someday I’ll need you to bail me out of a tough roadside situation. Cheers.

Thanks Abscate! Obus, we got a little more than that here. What a pain it is to shovel, but money is money. I would do a thing on Facebook, but the only account I have is for my YouTube channel and I don't really want my town on there. Xevin... I almost died of laughter from that Yeah, the 21 pages... I didn't think it would turn into that. I just wanted to know about my old bus, then it turned into another bus hunt  Whatever, I'm getting a ton of pointers from you guys. I know it doesn't seem like it, but i do take into account everything you all say... I just post rust buckets because I know I can only afford them

Everyone wants to shovel the first snow storm. Once the novelty wears off from storm 3, the business will pick up

That's true Abscate. I hate the snow, but I'm hoping we get a lot of it

Negative twenty?
Okay, I don't want any of you bozos making comments about me living in 110 degrees in the summer. And that includes the bozo in a boot!

Alright guys... get this. We all know that I want a bus and my dad wants one. My plan was to get him and myself one. He might have just made this easier. I was talking to him about a bus and he's like, "I want to go all custom with it when I get one, like keep the plaid, but do a whole custom camper set up with solar panels and custom cabinets and stuff". Now custom isn't exactly my style, but if that's what he wants, I should just start looking for bus shells with engines and trannys for him and find myself a nice stock westy. How much could a shell be? $500-$1000?

A good dry shell is more like $5000-10000. Bodywork is where the bucks are.
You need to be in bed by 2100 hours if you want to ease the older generations of the burden of their cash. You need 9+ hours sleep per night to stay at your 3x youth energy level .

What is your family dynamic here? Why is it a kids job to find a bus for his father? It really sounds like money is a big issue in your household. It sounds to me like there is little to no disposable income to buy one, let alone build and maintain one. From all of your posts I seem to think a bus will add financial stress to your situation....mom doesn't want one and it seems you want the cheapest pile of shit you can find....

Dad wants a bus, but won't buy it for himself. Money isn't the issue and he's got enough disposable income at the moment for it. He does crypto currency stuff and could buy a bus that was driving with a small amount of rust right now if he wanted, but he always says he has to do something first. Even my step mom said that if he doesn't buy one now, by the time he decides to, they'll be too expensive. My step mom didn't want a rusty piece of junk that can't easily be running, my mom has no problem if I get a bus, she actually likes the idea.
