don't forget that the shrapnel would cause the wheels
to get popped off and sent flying, probably the
trailing arms too. and the driveshafts (might still be
connected to the wheels)

probably break the bench seats in half, too.

damn that would be cool to watch, though :)

you could get  an autobox from one of those "real"
busses. the ones that carry a hundred or more people.

and even assuming you did get a transmission that
wouldn't explode, and Definitely would need better CV
shafts... the first time you tried to start off the
bus 'd flip itself over backwards on it's roof.

(that, too, would be really fun to watch)

assuming the impossible, and you made it work,

tired of waiting on some slowpoking goober in traffic,
just use the insano torgue to raise up the front
wheels and set 'em down on the trunk of the car
infront of you and push the 'tard at 100mph until you
end up climbing over them.

Bahahahah. that'll learn 'em.
