OK, I PROMISE this will be the last post on this off-topic
subject!
Here are pics of Dave's Challenger bus :

And, for a completely different mode of transport, here's a
pic of my friend Fritz driving around my back yard in his
14' hovercraft last week. (Guy in back seat is my youngest
son.)

Fritz has bought a Pacific island 1000 miles from Hawaii,
and has never seen it, except for Google Earth views. Since
the UM top level domain has been decommissioned due to lack
of use, he has plans to set up a solar-powered satellite
node out there and be the only person in the world with his
own, personal, top level domain. (UM is USA minor outlying
islands.) If this ever actually happens, I may be on the
hook for building the ground station. Likely would be a
Beagle Bone in the mix. But, it would have to be secured
against lightning, salt spray, storm surge, hurricane winds,
etc.
No small feat.
There is about a mile of tidal flats between navigable water
and the actual island, hence the hovercraft.
OK, I admit it, I seem to ATTRACT people with really strange
gadgets. Maybe because I have some really strange ones in
my basement, too.
