He has a 1992 Prevost Marathon.  Who knew?

I had heard this many years ago about him. He grew up on his grandparents farm driving big oil delivery trucks during the winter so this came easy for him. Great article so thanks for posting that.

That's not a government owned bus. Justice Thomas and his wife bought it themselves.

Last time I checked, I didn't have to get permission from my boss to buy my new car last year. It's our business as to what we pay supreme court justices. How they spend that money is their business.

100% agree. I might have counseled him to select a vintage GM over a Prevost, but that's just my personal opinion.

Nice to see that bus conversions appeal to people from all walks of life and all professions.

Or perhaps a THOMAS conversion. Couldn't resist that.

Cool story.
I'd love to run into him somewhere while I am on the road somewhere.
Thanks for posting.

He is driving a 20 year old bus worth around 80K tops, if the Government owned it the bus would be at least a 2010 model
