Title: Jet-powered school bus
Post by: eye30 on September 19, 2011, 11:35:38
There is now a new meaning to the children's song, "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round." A school bus in Lincoln, Neb., was built with a 42,000 horsepower engine and can hit a speed of 320 mph in just a few seconds - so you would never be late for school!

Paul Stender fitted a jet engine on the back of the bus, which now shoots out flames and huge clouds of smoke.
I don't think anyone would be happy to find his car behind this vehicle.

The bus even has three seats so people can enjoy rides. Don't worry - children aren't being taken to school on the bus.
What was the point in assembling a vehicle and calling it 'School bus' if it is not to carry anyone to a school?!
