    I got hella memories of these gems. I mostly remember seeing these on the B68 and shuttles at the Stilwell av station, which was back is slants time. I tell ya the best time to catch these is with it behind a Orion 7 CNG or 1999 Orion 5 CNG. About 2012 I started seeing the new c40 at Stilwell. I was amazed by both this and its older sister interior. I did not know what was better, I soon found out the 1998 - 2000 were retiring, I was shocked. But I grown the love the newer slightly more then the elder. The interior was larger gave a cooler vibe and I absolutely loved the new LED lights and the upgrade stop requested. Rip the 801 - 989. You served NYC well. As for 181 - 672 remain strong! Best busses ever

    4:14 blow off valve sounds amazing. I wonder why it's more louder on CNG buses than regular diesels

    My god such good memories. #900 C40lf bus was the last C40lf 2000 bus I ever rode beck in early January 2013 and coincidentally the 1st C40lf I ever rode. Thank you 900 for those memories and the rest of the batch.

    HELL TO THE YES! I love this review and was waiting anxiously for it! These are thus far the only buses I truly got to see firsthand come in new (as a 3 year old) and go out (as a h.s. sophomore). I can say the same for the Orion 7 CNGs when their time comes soon!

I remember reading on NYCT forums about 10 years ago that it was sold to a private owner to become a party bus. 2009 Orion 7.501 NG CNG #1751 might also still be around as IIRC, that unit was never sent to Cedar creek scrap.
