Scrapers, gangsta tanks, big *** buicks . . .

So I know most of you have seen, heard of or maybe even know someone who has one. They are typically domestic makes of cruisers, luxury or just full size sedans with HUGE chrome wheels and far too much bass. Sometimes the owners even have the money to pay for an outrageous paint scheme with gold flake and lace print. What is the point of all this?

Having lived in Oakland California my whole life I thought I had seen it all. That sure wasn't the case last night. On my way home at about 12:30 I come to an intersection and see a vehicle I knew shouldn't be up and driving around at this time. Huge wheels, probably 28". I don't even know if they make them that big but it looked like they came up to my stomach or higher and I'm 6'. The bass was overwhelming and I was across the intersection. Bright yellow paint that was gaudy to even look at even at night. And plenty of the friends along for the ride.

What you may ask was it? The one thing in school you never wanted to show up in. The one that has numerous stigma's about it. The one vehicle that should not have giant rims and thousands upon thousands of dollars invested in to it. A short yellow school bus. I only wish I had a camera.

See, that bus at least was modified to hell . .
It was this exact model. Just a fresh blanged out yellow paint job and some HUGE *** wheels. I guess it was like the ghetto party bus . . .

I think it is very cool, I bet you can smell the zig zags burning when that bus is dippin through the hood. It's probably suited to meet the needs of the Mobil woodsman as well. Now thats my kinda bang bus
