  • Our epic 2024 Great American Bus Trip went down from March 17th to 27th. Of course there was no bus, but it was still a resounding success! We met with some great people along the way and of course we got up to some hijinks....
    Speaking of buses, you can reserve your HO scale transit or suburban new look buses right here:

    The van launching itself into the air and flying through downtown Chicago and then Landing in Des Plaines has got to be one of the funniest things you've posted to youtube. And so characteristic of the Stormtrooper not being phased at all lol.

    Need to do Jimmy bus impersonations with mouth like when you were kids while in the van. Best Detroit sound, best door sound, best continuous bell cord dinging because you know you could keep pulling the bell. Each one of you walk up to a curb impersonating a bus in rush hour.
