American Schoolbus with Jet Engine

haha.. i need to build one.

schoolbus

thats awsome

hey rob! we need to get a bus so we can chop and channel it for the AR club. it could be a club bus. only if we had the funding, i would donate my time and labor.


how much would a old bus cost rob??? i"ll check craig list.lol

i found one http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1536966589.html $700 bucks cheap.

i will try and find out how much i can get one for..... my paintball team got one for 500 bucs.... we drove it home.

sweet! thats not bad at all. i think we should build a bus for the club 4 sure, what do ya guys think? im willing the help out labor/money. it would be awesome!!!!

i have been trying to get shawn to find out for ever bc i would sell my truck to get one for my tow pig and pimp it out! has to be a short bus though

ya thats true rob, we could for sure use it at show's and stuff. we should bring it up at a meeting to see what the club thinks. we would have to make some money some how and it would be owned by the club not one person. what do ya think?

im totally down to pimp out a short bus lol. that would be so sick to do. ill help out however i can

the problem with the club owning it is... whose gonna tag it? insure it? keep up needed repairs?

i know the club wont buy a bus not enough people will see the use. and if the club owned it it would have to be commercially tagged and insured not cheap from what i have seen....and we dont have 4-500 extra each year to put into a bus

just my opinion....

but if we find a short bus for cheap id buy it and everyone could donate their time and we could trick it out and make it a club bus it will just be my tow pig also bci would sell or trade my truck

im down. i know we have talked about this before. it would be sweet for shows n stuff! il help out where ever and however

Well guys I called the Ohio BMV and WOW they totally scared me away from the idea. According to them any vehicle "designed" to carry 16+ passengers and has a GVW of 26,000+ would require a driver to have a CDL plus yearly inspections at $100 per year. Anything 10,000 lb GVW would require only the yearly inspection. That doesn't include license, tax or insurance. We would be better off finding a panel van or a enclosed trailer. In the short term the bus may be cheap but it would be a money pit in the long term.

WOW, i had a feeling that they would charge a arm and a leg to make it legal to drive. i wonder if they would charge the same if it was converted into some type of camper? maybe we can contact bill gates for some funding!

but what you dont know is the ways around these things, if it is turneed into a RV then you do not need the cdl and there are no inspections yearly, also a short bus , you do not need a cdl to drive. take out a couple of seats and it is no longer a 16 passenger bus...but short busses are very rare and hard to find cheep. i know this because we got one for our paintball team and were able to drive it without a CDL at the time.... things may have changed since then but i didnt think so. I know i can get a long bus for under $500 but i dont think they have any short busses.

dude we need a short bus cause i guarentee you at one point in time we all thought we needed to ride the short bus lol
