(best bus i ever had, even if it wasn't air conditioned) Blitzfahrt - a 1974 Porsche 914 with a hole in its muffler Humpback, the Quasi-Motor of Noted Fame - a 1968 double-cab pickup truck. (sniff. i miss old Humpback, even with his lousy drum-drum brakes) those were my favorite names. the other buses names fit the bus, but they didn't have that 'zing'. joel
