Holy mole! That rear overhang is insane!

Every crew-cab long-bed pickup truck.

The RTS is indeed stainless steel! There are some steel parts that can rot out (the engine cradle, for example) but mine does not have that problem.

I’ve noted a few times that the bus was sold. In every instance the person came by, got shocked at the rust, then turned away. Oof. lol

A lot of districts buy buses that require as little training as possible. Many jurisdictions require air brake endorsements, which buying a bus with hydraulic brakes gets around.

I’m so glad you were able to escape the bus’ curse so lightly. It’s funny how a relatively small profit or loss can make the difference between a fondly-remembered mishap and simmering regret.

Still seems like you have the wrong platform for an RV. Both school and transit buses are designed for going slowly from stop-to-stop. Neither is really meant to be hurtling down the highway for hours on end. You really need to find a proper highway coach. But the RTS is certainly a better start than a rusty school…

So, I talked to my therapist (physical therapist, the mental one quit in disgust). She was shopping for a car and test drove a Bronco Sport. $45k with about 50 miles on it. Still had window sticker that said $35k.

I think this falls under the category of “I’d drive it...but I wouldn’t want to buy it.”

You mean, make a steer-ing wheel.

And don’t forget the horn.

For God’s sake people, if your are going to use bones for a steering wheel, please use beef ribs! They have a natural curve without the big knobby ends. Far more practical.

Usually I say, “To each their own”. But I am totally judging you right now.

You stay right where you are.  I’m calling the authorities.

We’re really there folks. People now feel the need to rebuke Florida Man jokes made on the internet. Go away. It’s a joke. Read it; or don’t.  Laugh; or don’t.  We don’t need your sensitive commentary about a GOD DAMN JOKE.  Jokes are not conversations. 

It’s got some kitsch value. Nowhere near $7500, but some. It could be fun for $1k, as long as the seller replaces that Ed Gein steering wheel with something I would be willing to touch.

Oh I loved “Dead Like Me”

If we’re being pedantic, ALL crashes occur during some sort of landing.

Landings are by far the most dangerous moments in a flight. The final decent and landing phases make up only four percent of flight time, but account for an incredibly 49 percent of fatal accidents
