From the pic it looks to me as if the bus was going backwards, as opposed to the Hummer going forwards.

Post by: ian_s on December 05, 2006, 12:49:01: the humvee was the US armys replacement for the Jeep, in the 80s
GM did sell a civvy version in the early 90s (later called the H1), but the one you see around these days is either the Hummer H2 or the H3. which are crap. most people dont realise they arent the same thing, even though the original humvee was huge, over 7ft wide.

Post by: skip on December 05, 2006, 18:48:26: I'm not surprised the bus took very little damage. The yanks treat their kid like diamonds. the buses for them were specially designed to save kids at the expense of everything else. the back of the bus is shaped like a wedge, forcing anything coming from behind to go underneath.
Not so stupid those yanks ay :wink:
