Pitfalls of Owning a Green Bus

Russ · « **on:** August 31, 2002, 02:57:26 AM »

I just had someone compliment me on the "nice Indy car" I was "towing" behind my "bus". I had to let him down, though. This kind of thing is reasonably common considering the abundance of pea-green campers here in the club. You get used to it eventually, denying ever been to a place or road people claim they saw you on...even once had a guy on a motorcycle behind me shout out "HEY!!! TRAVIS!!!" only to discover I wasn't Travis when I stuck my head out the window. I spoke to another guy in the parking lot of Best Buy that told me a buddy of his sold a green bus to "some guy in Collegedale." Maybe we should do like the police and have squad car numbers printed on the back.

Let this be a warning to anyone considering getting a green camper like ours...you're in for a world of mistaken identity.

Yea , I think that those of you that own a pea green bus need some kind of identifying mark on your bus .

This is a valid point. We JUST have 5 green campers in the club now. Granted only 4 are on the road but the 5th will be there as soon as the Double Cab is finished. I don't have THAT much to do to it.

:cool:

Yeah. I keep having people say, "I saw you the other day going down (insert your favorite road here) in your green hippie bus" and I knew it wasn't me because Sweetpea had been in her stable for a few weeks. Or some say that they thought it was me, but when they got a closer look, it was someone way to skinny to be me (Thanks a lot!).
Or I get, "I saw you in East Ridge" or "I saw you at Eastgate" or "I saw you in Hurricane Creek Subdivision" and even "I saw you at that house on McDonald Road, you know, the one next to that church."
I am not omnipotent.

Oh yeah. Keep the road rage in check... :angry: These green machines are not that easy to forget.

I've had a dozen students tell me they know where I live.
"Where?"
"On Thrasher Pike."
"Why there?"
"I saw your bus parked outside!"
I've spoken to the owner, and invited him to come to a meeting, but haven't seen him yet. I just hope it doesn't get egged sometime in a case of mistaken identity!

I'll pass the "Indy Car" quote on to "Tex". He'll take it as a compliment!

At the race this weekend, there were 4 Spec Miatas from the OPM team with identical paint jobs. The side mirrors were 4 different flourescent colors. :p

Hey Russ, if you don't want to be mistaken for any of those other green busses, I still have some glass chalk. If yours had Blue doors with flames and it would never be mistaken for one of those other green busses again! :p
