I should do well, with exception to the "with another skoolie" challenges...
A: I'm technically not a skoolie (is there a clearly defined description?)
B: There are VERY few skoolies in my area, I've only seen two.

I actually don't care for the term "skoolie". To me it sounds juvenile and kinda girly. But imo a "skoolie" is any school bus that's privately owned and used for anything other than its original purpose.

Yeah, but "May I borrow your rubber?" might be seen as a tad ambiguous.

im technically not a "skoolie" either. since I just cruise mine all over the country with seats in it and all.. my idea of camping is my bus parked outside a hampton inn while I sleep inside the hampton inn

I play this game. and meet up with others from this site and along the road and have a great time..

the busses for me took the place of Hotrodding for me(got tired of the pretentiousness at car shows).. i like to build stuff, always loved school busses since i was a kid, so here i am..

True.
But who's borrowing a skoolie anyhow?

I let someone borrow the DEV to move.. I iddnt realize theyd never driven air brakes.. a friend and I brought the bus over helped them load, then I followed in my pickup truck.. im quite certain that the first stop from 45 MPH they did, im certain he wished he had "rubber" underwear on... he assumed the brake pedal was supposed to "travel" like a car brake pedal.. I shouldve been the one driving the bus....

I am still getting used to the air brakes on the wander lounge but overall I think they feel awful compared to hydraulic!

Ha! Compared to Redbyrd, mine's like the slightly deformed cousin who's kept hidden in the back bedroom and never discussed during family gatherings.

He looks like he's just biding his time until he's old enough to drive.
