Okay, I gotta admit, the modified school bus is waaaaay cool! Much better than the ol' box truck conversion I was originally going to do before we found "Testiclese."
Could you imagine catching the bus to school in that thing?
Okay, the gauntlet has been thrown, if they can drive that thing to Midland, we'll have a race!

I did see a jet powered port-a-potty once. That was very interesting to say the least, but it was one cool piece of engineering.

I saw that jet powered outhouse at ICAS last year. All I can say is that the driver probably needs ALL of the toilet paper hangin' on the wall after making a run !

Are you looking at installing outriggers in case that huge hulk of whirrling aluminum decides to demonstrate torque reaction and you guys find yourselves with a huge wheel/axle twist on high power settings?
Also, how big/how many chocks for that puppy?
I also really love it's name, good choice

Well, as you can see, work continues on our engine test cell. We've even named it after the Greek God of High Horsepower......."Testiclese."

Only problem I see is if the brakes fail, that's a fast ride in "reverse"!
Steering axle in the back! That would really be fun.
