Now that we own a bus it's interesting what is really exciting now that never was before...

For example, I now find myself getting really excited when I see another Eagle bus drive by. Especially when I'm in a normal car. "How do I communicate that I too, drive an Eagle bus?"

I get excited when a part is "only $1000!" Sweet.

I now get excited at the prospect of 8MPG! That's so amazing....

Wood paneling is now a "tasteful alternative"

I get excited when I tell people I own a bus and they don't immediately think "School Bus" ::)




What about everyone else? What do you find exciting now that never was before?

Finding a mechanic that says he can do something and then really does it without a bunch of excuses as to why it cost twice as much as the quote.

Me, I love hitting the mountain at 65 mph and being able to speed up, That is joyful to me.  I remember when that was only a dream.  ;D

You can always put the brand on the front of your car, probably no one will notice it but you'll know it's there  ;) And that's something to get exited about  ;D

Cruising at 5 under the speed limit is pretty exciting now for me..... ;D

Doing 65 when most of the roads around here are 70mph. Previously our tow vehicles usually do 75-80...

I hit a hill and I'm still doing 65, makes me happy. 8)

Turning the key and the engine firing right up is exciting.  Actually any day that we get the bus rolling without too much drama is exciting.

And when you do have an issue and figure it out, grab the right parts and get it done...well that's pretty exciting too.

Thinking about it...everything about owning and living in a bus is pretty darn exciting!
