It's a boat, but ...

ain't this sweet?


Imagine a skoolie wrapped around that - wonder if it would scale?
Probably something that everybody knows already but for those looking for floorplans boat classifieds are a good place to look, so are airplanes. Those Gulfstreams are pretty snazzy and about the same proportion and shape look like they might scale down to 'bus width' pretty well.

I can see that in a bus....looks nice but I dont see this translating to my mother of all tailgate buses?

Maybe Im a little too country for that?

Not forcing it on you or implying that it's the ne plus ultra of tailgaters - I just saw this picture, liked it and thought others else might too.

Zen and the Art of Bus Maintenance

Hey, that's a ripoff of my design!

I really do like that layout. Mine will differ in the fabric (don't like the looks of that operating-room white, in addition to pragmatic issues mentioned already). Probably I will go into Hancock or JoAnn Fabrics or one of them and ask, "Got anything in spilled-beer-and-dropped-pizza-with-coffee-and-peanut-butter-accents?" Of course, a panoramic view all around.

Country-music fans here may have already heard Brad Paisley's universal suggestion: Camouflage!

I read Zen and... in Intro Philosophy in college. Good book. It was around the time I decided that one day I'd have a skoolie.

Yeah, I was thinking if I used the white it would change color all by itself
MIght be fun to watch over time, like a mold growing experiment in school.
Kinda Zen'ish as well - wonder what color it'll eventually become?
