sucking fumes and pounding pavement




Do you ever wonder where U.S. school buses go when they die? They go to Panamá city. Once they arrive in Panamá City, the City government passes them off to a bus driver that, in no particular order, does the following things to the bus:

1. Take out the non-working parts and replace them with second hand Mitsubishi or Toyota truck parts.
2. Rip out the exhaust and tail pipe. Attach two huge, silver intake pipes to the back emergency door of the bus. Polish pipes.
3. Get out white spray paint. Paint entire yellow bus, bright white. Proceed to paint bright colored graphics via airbrush. DO NOT leave out the lude, inappropriate, overly-busty and leggy naked women. Next to the naked lady, or on the other side of the bus, paint a picture of Pope John Paul II or Saint Francis of Assisi. Or President Martin Torrijos. Whatever works.
4. Duct tape all holes and broken metal on the interior seats. Screw long pieces of scrap metal to the ceiling of the bus, covering the remaining emergency exits, as handles for standing passengers.
5. Place flag of Panamá on rear view mirror and hang banner that says ¨Yo Soy Panamá¨
6. Install car stereo. Play very loud salsa, day and night. Or 80´s music, whatever your preference.
7. Get in bus, speed, honk, yell at people and frighten small children.

Optional: Hydrolics, silver rims, off-road tires.
