Actually, I'd prefer to forget my first bus.  On the same (it's last)
cross-country trip, it dropped a valve in Des Moines (replaced head and
cylinder beside Quikmart), then again in Detroit (different head).  I wasn't
driving, driver didn't stop very quickly ("what's that noise!")  Broken
crank.

Took plates, hitched to Boston to start my new life there.

Now, I've loved my 2nd-7th busses so far.  Only one ever left me stuck, and
that's the newest one ('87 Syncro), and I was only a mile from home.

Raymond
