Why does the perfect 8v92 show up whenever I can't make the switch???

Everybody's allowed to answer that question except for Gumpy!!! LOL. We all know that he want's to throttle me everytime I talk about the change that is inevitable. I found the perfect setup and I just can't do it right now. Getting ready for surgery in January, just finished a video shoot and an album and I have another video shoot before my surgery.

C'mon I want a pity party, I know all of you are feeling sad that I may have to spend another year in an underpowered bus.

Waaaa.

I'm crying in my beer over here.

Think of it this way. By driving a bus with a deficit of power you take longer to get somewhere than you would if you had excessive power. I view that as a real benefit because you are getting maximum time in the driver's seat enjoying your coach, while others with the ability to climb the tallest mountains without slowing down are going to get there sooner, thus robbing themselves of the joy of driving.

Unless bragging about the power is more important than enjoying the drive.

Jon this is all true!!!!!!! But it is irritating to know you can walk faster LOL.

I still have the bus from California. I haven't made the swap into my bus yet. It ran good on both trips I made to get it to Montana. Only 6V92 though. This Island thing I'm doing now has gotten in the way.

LOL John

Maybe since you can't use it now, maybe I could.

So you are not buying the bus in Albuquerque ?

RickB · December 14, 2014, 06:37:25 PM

I think what Gumpy was trying to say was... "Whatever". LOL...

Chessie 4905 this turns the wrong direction for a 4905.

Clifford, I would love to buy it but I don't have time before my surgery and they are saying this is gonna be a tough surgery recovery so it would be sitting where my other bus is parked and it just sounds like I should wait. I might still do it but I usually regret things that I make happen. Oh she's a runner though, purred like a kitten

I can't comment on something I don't know anything about. I think you intentionally keep me in the dark so you won't have to listen to logic.

2 or 3 months ago you were fixin to sell you bus. Then you were pulling a 6V92 in Lakeville to put in it. Now you're looking at 8V92s and there's
talk about buying something in Alquburque? That's all news to me.

Whatever.
