Yes, bus people are different. Some of them are so different that they drive
around with no e-brake, and no spare tire.

So, I am driving up to Eureka Springs to go bar hopping with Dave, Brad and
the beautiful Claudette. I was thinking, “jeez, there is a bunch of vibration”.
I am thinking transmission, I donno. And the steering is sluggish. I get to
Eureka and a stop sign and I open the driver’s door and look down to see… a
flat. %#@!
Well, since I ran in to the deer, and I have this oil leak, Murray had been put
away for the season until I got the call of coming to Eureka for big fun. In
for the season means that I have basically stripped the interior…INCLUDING MY
SPARE TIRE! And, since I have the wide 5 EMPI mags, I require a stud and nut
system (Sammie knows) so to put on a regular 15” spare I need stock lug nuts,
which are attached to my spare WHICH IS AT HOME. So Brad and Dave both came to
the gas station, where I had landed on a wing and a prayer, in their buses
where we figured out that I could use Dave’s good spare and everyone had to
give up lug nuts to give me enough to get mobile. Phew!
The gas station guy, who watched the whole drama as we used the bathroom to
wash up or sold me Fix-a-flat, was fascinated, in an old guy sorta way, that we
had fixed and were on our way. That is not the first time that spectators were
amazed that we were fixed and had to go, thank you.
We had a Porsche guys look at us and were also amazed that we were on our way.
Bus people are different.
