    I'm calling foul. The bus is in way too nice shape. There's no way it cost less than $500. And it's probably over the weight limit, too. #bus

    I want to ride a bus where the driver is wearing a hat like that! Maybe it's time for all-bus heats somewhere at a Lemons. This would be even scarier but you could of course go Furthur. #bus

    @Novaload: You're either on the bus or you're off the bus. If Neal Cassaday was still around, you can bet he'd be a contender. #bus

    ...and you didn't even jump any under-construction bridges that were conveniently missing segments? I'm disappointed.

    But, this begs another question: what part of the bus blows up if you drop below 55 mph?

    Or does it just blow a head gasket on some toyota somewhere else on the track? #bus

    Sure it's fun now. Just you wait until you're trying to get home for dinner and the driver keeps blowing right by your stop, heeled over like a sailboat and all the tires howling. #bus

    @Scandinavian Flick: I once knew a MUNI driver. He got his run done, but he was a pretty mellow guy. I used to wind up walking everywhere, because the bus wouldn't ever show until I was within 2 blocks of my destination. And driving was limited because parking in a lot of neighborhoods is a total bitch. #bus

    Active ballast is all well and good, but will the brakes hold up for a few laps of Monticello against the CTS-V? #bus
