I would agree to a point. In large rural areas, where the local schools sit primarily in the center of the county, the buses will have to travel a large distance to pick up students. In my county, a majority of the buses are kept at the county school bus shop, as hardly any of the bus drivers are parking them at home…

Gas-powered buses are making a comeback at Blue Bird and are driving sales, while diesels have slumped a bit. IC and Thomas have yet to re-commit to gas. While they continue to embrace EV technology, Blue Bird continues to reach out to traditional customers.

I’m tempted! I have a class reunion this year and some of my buddies are looking for something wild to do. What could possibly go wrong?

this remind sme of the Mega Karen who had a major meltdown after seeing Carrot Top on the plane.

Hot Wheels issued a Go-Pro camera car a few years ago. You just mount the camera in the car and send it down the track. You’ll find plenty of them on Ebay.

First:

It’s funny that you mention this. My cousin bought a Ram 1500 about two years ago. I saw him just yesterday and he can’t open the dri9ver’s window. He had to open the door so we could speak.  No Chrysler product for me.

Buc-ee’s?

That image reminds me of last year’s Montgomery Riverdeck Brawl, which of course had more action than the Busch/Stenhouse dustup.

“It would be similar to someone like Patrick Mahomes being arrested before a football game or Max Verstappen being arrested before an F1 race. It’s bonkers.”
