I spotted this amazing bus at a garage getting a little bit of a tune-up one evening in 2006. It’s a real looker! So much to see in that fabulous paint job. (Be sure to click pics to enlarge)
While at home from work one afternoon, I happened to notice this super-psychedelic party bus was featured in the Rob Thomas video ‘Someday’. You can start catching glimpses of it around the 3:00 minute mark. Cool! View video on YouTube
In a side note: It’s kind of funny that they put a bikini top on the 2-headed mermaid on the bus doors
