School bus orange?

[NewSkewlHauler]

Maybe I'm imagining things, but growing up in Northern Minnesota, I swear I recall two orange school buses...#6 and #7 I think. Does anyone else recall school buses being another color other than yellow? The reason I'm wondering is that WHEN I get my bus, I'm thinking of painting it Allis Chalmers orange...I have my reasons! I didn't know if that would interfere with other states colors. I'm in Kansas, now, but my grandfolks still live in the Great White North and I will use it to travel up there to see them on occasion. Thanks.

Ben.

I still live in the great white north and I've never seen a bus of a different color, save for the ones going down into the pits. Did you perhaps see one of the mine crews out on the open highway? That's not all that uncommon.

I could have sworn that the bus picked me up and took me to school. But then again, I was only about 5-6 years old and my bus riding memories of that time are a bit fuzzy some 27 years later. We lived on a gravel road, so it could have just been really dirty! This was over in the northwest part of the state, so I doubt it could have been a mine bus. I could just have been totally imagining things too. At that age I could have imagined "The Great Pumpkin" coming to take me away...a la Charlie Brown. Thanks again!

I think I'm still feeling your curse. My 700R4 just started spewing fluid everywhere the other day...after I had already replaced it. It's fixed now, as is my previously non-functional torque converter clutch. The curse of the Vanguy lives on though...
