  1. Rumleech says:

    They forgot to put a swing seat on that verandah.

  2. Kahomono says:

    This actually looks awesome for tailgating, etc.

  3. Tylonfoxx says:

    LongBus, now with smoking area

  4. Paranoimia says:

    Am I alone in thinking that is VERY cool? It’s like an RV with a built-in patio.

    • Clay says:

      Love it. A cheap hauler. Track day transport, atv hauler, jet ski camp vehicle. It has huge potential. And school buses are cheap. Think the neighbors will mind a black school bus parked in front of the house? Yeah, that’s what I thought you’d say.

    • überRegenbogen says:

      You’re not alone at all. This kicks ass! Lots of uses for a hauler with lots of cabin space. It’s an industrial strength crew-cab. :D

  5. julia K says:

    It’s a short bus…that gives rides to hitchhiking cars?

  6. tw says:

    I nominate the new site design as a kludge.

  7. Luke says:

    I’ve seen busses like this used by rafting companies. After all you can pick up a used buss for a few thousand verses 40-50K for a new truck.

    • kunkmiester says:

      Where? I looked around a while back, and couldn’t find one for that little–both local in St Louis, and online.

  8. duffro says:

    You guys don’t get to the circle track races much. Every 3rd car shows up on one of these.

    • Anna Rexia says:

      I was thinking it was something like that. I was trying to see where the ramps attach, but apparently the mount points are out of frame. I really miss the short tracks and dirt ovals.

  9. Jilly says:

    I liked the kludgey ballpoint graphics on the old site. :(

  10. Sue says:

    The “bus” is for the band. The extension is for the roadies.

  11. A Random Pooka says:

    I posted a comment earlier, which was apparently eaten by the new site design. Go figure.

    Anyway, awesome bus!

  12. Adam says:

    Disgruntled Timmies sought to lose their “Short Bus” reputation…

  13. Sailboat says:

    Elementary school for both children and horses.

  14. Schneiderman says:

    That is a sweet bus…

  15. Fanboy Wife says:

    “I want a girl with a short skirt and a loooooooooooong bus!”

  16. Pendor says:

    I don’t think that’s not an extension. It’s a normal school bus with the back wall cut out, moved forward, and welded back in place. So you get a smaller enclosed space up front, and something resembling a pick-up bed in the back. You could probably add a ramp on the back, drive a compact car up there, and have a rather functional touring RV.

    I rather like it.

  17. dono1 says:

    Wow. I haven’t traveled by bus in a long time but I had no idea there was such a vast difference between First Class and Coach.

  18. Tego says:

    That would actually be really good for something like a white water rafting business. Clients up front with the rafts mostly protected in back, but still readily accessible. Also I’m not sure this is really a Kludge. it looks like a decent amount of effort was put into making it look and function well

    • kc/cc says:

      And if the river’s too low for white water rafting this season, just put everyone on a raft in back and ride ‘em around awhile— still a thrill a minute. Still could use a helmet, too.

  19. jefe says:

    I like the clever adaptation of the rub/bump/reinforcing strip at the roofline where the cabin disappears…

  20. Craig T says:

    I think there are two hacks here:

    First, a regular-sized bus was cut down to a short one with a short bed.

    Second, the bed was extended.

    This is really cool.

  21. JoeyBrill says:

    This is why we mainstream out kids. Some kid on a short bus had very big dreams.

  22. Richard (with an arr!) says:

    Guys, this isn’t a bus. It’s a Stretch Semi. Get it right.

  23. LordCaradoc says:

    Now thats cool, they not only get to take their house wherever they go, but they take the garage too.

  24. Shimmer says:

    Most pointless thing I’ve ever seen.

  25. Jim says:

    Like was said above, it’s for hauling my mustang. Only it’s a drag car not a stockcar. The wife and kids won’t go to the track without a proper bathroom/kitchen/bed and I can’t afford a RV. This was $5100 complete!

  26. agidius says:

    friend of mine and I came up with an idea very similar to that to take a racecar to the track.

    he also lives not too far from a used bus lot.

  27. Dizzy says:

    Nice wheels.

    that’s pretty decent craftsmanship, Awesome party bus.

    hell you could even use it as a stage.

  28. ROop says:

    That is pretty cool!

  29. thusfor says:

    all it needs is a hot tub then its a custom limo

  30. CT says:

    If you don’t like leaving your car at the park-and-ride, just run ‘er right up here.

  31. Bridge says:

    Public transportation segregation hasn’t quite ended yet in some parts of the deep south.

  32. TechBender says:

    Bloody private school kids! They’ve got a matte black bus with rims and a patio? Servants must be in the white Lexus on the other side.

  33. Ewockhugger says:

    Where can I get one? Perfect for hauling domo derby cars to the track!

  34. Diver Doug says:

    It’s from the new MTV series called “Pimp my Bus” :-)

  35. Mater says:

    I said a tour bus with a BLACK PORSCHE

  36. Jack Wing says:

    As the obesity epidemic starts to claim more lives, funeral parlours are forced to upgrade their hearses.

  37. Andersonian says:

    That’s my uncle’s bus. I’m being 100% serious. He took out the seats inside, and now there’s three couches. And it is completely street-legal. He uses it for demo derby cars, tractor pullers (super modified class), or 4 fourwheelers. He made it himself: he owns an auto body repair shop.

  38. Giapponese says:

    No, no! You guys have it all wrong! This is typical band LongBus. The band can perform while traveling. It’s also good for parades, 4th of July concerts, and the traveling circus.
