New buses for the high school

[Lone Gunman]

That's the way it always is for 443. It's either feast or famine they have to have the very best and then cry that they're short of money.

Well maybe they can lease it out for shopping trips to mexico on the weekends or gamblin runs to KC or Topeka during the week when no one else is usin it.................

Gamblin' runs - or maybe for the Chiefs games!!! Prolly too many Broncos fans there. Don't blame them really. But that's beside the point. Gamblin' runs would be fun or charter for a Chiefs game or bring the band up to Worlds of Fun for Band Competition Day.

Someone should really do some checking. I don't believe that busses go 50 or 55 mph anymore. Believe it or not things change. They travel at the same speed everybody else does 65mph.

I know it's a pain to ride 50 mph all the way to Salina and have to compete once you get there. I was thinkin, though, that's why students were usually young'uns - you can stay up half the night and still get up the next morning.

Yeah, All those bells and whistles have been pretty much standard thing for a few years.

Time to replace the BetaMax KC! haha

Did 443 "buy" this bus?? Some of my sources seem to think that it might have been "donated"???

Hey. I got rid of my beta a while back. I sound more and more like my mother every day. When I bought my first car, all I heard was how she had to ride back and forth 10 miles to school in an old pickup that smelled like gas and had no air conditioning and no heat. Made me feel bad I even had a stupid AM radio. I imagine some of it is standard equipment, but is there no such thing as a used vehicle anymore? I don't like to buy a brand new vehicle, mostly because of the value drop you get just driving it off the lot. I prefer to buy "slightly used". Then I don't have to worry about that and there's still plenty of warranty. Hubby still likes brand spankin' new, though. I just don't see the appeal.
