Well maybe if you souped it up a bit and got the Japanese version instead!

Can you do any drifting with that bus? That would be sweet.

You can contact Foremost Industries in Calgary, Alberta. They only cost $1.25 million each and each one of the six tires costs only $5000. Oh yeah the maximum speed is an amazing 20 km/hr and I’ll guess that you’ll probably get about 1 mile per gallon.

I’m so glad you asked! The bus was not very bumpy at all… I think the maximum speed that it could reach was only 20 km/hr and most of the time it traveled even slower than that.

The funnest part was when we went down a 35% grade. That may not sound like much but trust me it was… Actually I may not be entirely right on that percent but it was ridiculously steep!
