Still looking purdy though!  I love to drive... but never got my license, I used to drive one of those 48 passenger school busses around our property when I was living with the McGraw family..... dad had purchased a broken down one.

LOL, thing is, at 17 I had to drive it home! 2 hours away.... we fixed it up on the weekends until we could drive it (crimped the front brake lines closed, I ended up using the emergency brake as the main brake).

He was going to make an RV out of it, but made it his mobile workshop instead, had a four cylinder flat head jeep engine driving a generator....
Had 220 for the welder, we even had old oven for curing painted parts, and a refridgerator for soda's.

It never made it to legal status, but I had fun driving it around fixin' up stuff...

Even drove the shorter versions in the military, taking our shop to and from places.
