I'm sure this has been asked before, but I was wondering what is the highest mileage any of us has seen on a bus. I don't care about rebuilds, swapped trannys etc., just how many miles has the bus traveled since it rolled off the showroom floor? Sorry to the jokers out there, but I'm answering this in a semi serious way.. I met a mechanic, whose shingle read "Marginal Mechanical Repair", out in the desert in California. He said he has worked on a local bus there for 20 years, for a guy who uses it as a delivery vehicle for work, and clocked up a million and a quarter miles on it. Of course, the motor and tranny have been replaced... BTW, any other interesting repair shop names anyone has seen? They seem wierder in the back woods, Why be normal and call it Dave's VW?
