Jeff,
scan your licence or take a picture of it or something. I want to see what it looks like.

Almost word for word with the WSDOT (Federal w/ State Cover), so my bet is the same as WA. Did not see where you had to stay in the state only...

Edit: I did find it, I guess Colorado has the Kindergarten Law, which restricts those under 21. Washington does not have this law.

Just curious but how do you fund a $250+ fillup? Busses get like 5 miles to the gallon max so that adds up. That makes no sense at all.

Lots of people work but how often do you fill up? Figuring it has a 100 gallon tank with a range of 700 miles you probably fill up every 2-3 weeks, maybe more because I dont know how much you really drive. Now I know work funds things but even at $15 an hour average (I have no idea how much you work or how much you are paid) but at that it means you work 18 hours just to fill up your bus. Not to be rude but you are retarted for driving a freaking bus. Work funds things but as you grow older things need to start making financial sense. I know when you are younger you can blow all your money but for 18 hours for one fill-up, that is just plain stupid. I am not trying to push anything on you but I would surely sell that bus and buy some VW tdi. Driving a bus around town is just about one of the dumbest financial decisions you could make.

oh boy.

Depending on much driving i do i can go a whole month without filling that baby up. Now i work 18 hours a day on avg. Now on avg i make anywhere from $40.00 bucks an hour to $65.00 DEPENDING ON WHAT I"M DOING THAT DAY. Sometimes it's closer to 100 bucks an hour. Just so you are aware I do have a ton of money in savings that i got from my grandpa on my mom's side when he passed away. ($750,000.00 or so)

I'm not retarded for driving a 60ft bus around town. Infact there are quite a few that do around here.

Where do you work that you work 18 hours a day, according to the logs you spend a good chunk of time here online. And if sitting at a computer making a $100 an hour and spending time on skilifts.org is a job, where do I sign up.

Perhaps I should start charging, seems like everyone makes great cash on this board and I am offering a free service. (Joking.... of course).

If you make that much money, why don't you buy some real estate (buy a house) or move out of your parents house. Its the best financial solution you can do with that much money and find some write-offs.

Why don't you run it on Bio-Diesel. strip it out, put a bathroom, kitchen, Satelite, Internet, Onan Quiet Diesel Generator, Nice Bedroom and a Party Room, and then work on the road! Then the respect would be coming from here, but other than that................

Hey Jeff, would you happen to have any pictures of you driving your bus and maybe the inside of it at all?
