Re: What colour to paint rims?

Re: Gas vs. diesel, which one and why?

My B700 has gas power, got 6.5MPG. My Genesis is heavier, an automatic (B700 was a 5+2), and gets 10-11. A modern gas engine (Ford V10, GM 8100) would actually work fine in a skoolie...but they...

Can you take a Greyhound to pick up the bus? Or give a buddy gas a few bucks?

That looks like my brain bucket (also a full-face HJC), except mine is chartreuse with no graphics. But I never used it that way! :lol: :lol:

All I will say is: for her, it is NOT paranoia.

Re: Time to laugh

Jerry Garcia lost the middle finger of his right hand in a wood chopping accident as a child. I guess that's why he was a flat-picker.

Re: School Bus to Fashion Truck

Make sure the GVWR is 26,000lbs or less, and you will NOT need a CDL. You WILL need to comply with various DOT stuff (including a medical card), but you won't need a CDL.
