The kids and I were looking at buses on youtube the other day and happened to see this.

I think it's pretty amazing what they can do with a 40,000lb bus.

None the less.....we were a little nervous for the cameraman.

we live in a van (Eagle 10 Suburban)
Driving through the night
To that old promised land'

What's so impressive about that? He's just driving in circles.

I don't have video of it but several yrs ago, I was @ a camp with 4H kids and we got snowed in. On the second day of being snowed in the parents and counselors were all burning up the local sheriffs and highway patrols phones about road conditions.

Well yours truly decided just to take the bus out and see what the roads were like.

Well I made it out to the main road fine, and it was in god shape.
I went back to the camp and as I pulled back into the empty lot I had been parked in I decided to play and floored it and SPUN my 45' Setra S217 around twice. When I stopped and backed in my parking place to plug up to the block heater I looked up and all the kids and counselors that were outside were all clapping and cheering me on ;D .

Then there is the story related to me by a "retired' hound driver. About the Port Authority upper deck parking area for buses. Seems there was a snow storm, an empty lot and several drivers who had always wondered about spins. I wish they had taken a film of that early morning fun.
