HattenBus Makes it's Debut

Here's the school bus that we've captured from the wilds of New Jersey.

We are still in heated discussion on the paint job, theme, and accessories. All we know for sure is that it can't stay International School Bus Yellow (yes: that's an officially registered color!), so we need to paint it before getting license plates.

That nifty stop sign that pops out has to be removed as well, but we plan on converting it to something else, such as a smiley face or some such.

We have many and many more plans for this puppy!
  • RV Camper
  • Motorcycle hauler for races
  • Gymnastics Team hauler for far-away meets (and they all are it seems!)
  • Walking Machine hauler for Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race
  • MiniMoto race pit bus
  • PartyBus for group trips to Orchestra events, RobotFest, Dagorhir, Nashville, RollerDerby, Hershey Park, etc etc...

  1. Was that your bus sitting at the AMMCO in Frederick on 355? Do you really need to repaint the whole bus or just eliminate the "shcool bus" labeling? Leave it to a Hattenburg to be a proud owner of a short bus. I guess riding in one just wans't good enough...

    for Carl, riding one was never good enough
    i mean...just take a look at his wardrobe
    i was intriqued by the idea of giant legos, that was really good, and the fade blue/green was cool.
    you should convert it to a mini home, and live there to save energy in your big house
