What a unique find. I love the take off sound and the parking brake being set. Safe travels and bon voyage 🛫

[@DanAndZay]

I like that sound too but I don't have 2006 c2 where I live

[@JasonFlamingo]

Unpopular opinion: I drove my first C2 a couple of days ago (2017 anniversary edition with a Cummins/Allison Trans, air ride/seat/door/brakes) and liked it better than the Vision and CE I drove.

[@ICFE300]

C2's are way nicer than a Vision in my opinion.

[@0312Productions]

You right…unpopular. 😂 I agreed with the Vision part, but you lost me at the CE.

[@austingregory9118]

I agree, I’ve driven all 3 and the C2 at least the ones we have here in NC are the best.

[@seanthe100]

These are some of the hand down best sounding engines made me fall in love with buses when we got them brand new in 05 plus the parking break.

she sounds real good makes me wish the district I'm in don't retire theirs next year....

[@nowhere2471]

I always thought those Mercedes C2's sounded good.

[@bus213]

Nothing beats an IC Bus of course, but I think C2s are nice buses.

[@jaloncola8805]

It’s sounds like Cummins isb 6.7 when it takes off

[@LeteizJordan317]

Actually It's Sounds Like A 5.9 Cummins

[@Wilacoyotaye1960]

It sounds like the CE300

[@montesa35]

Are there any school buses powered by Japanese engines?

[@leteizjordan298]

It Kinda Sounds Like A 5.9 Cummins When It Takes Off

[@Pa_school_bus_enthusiast]

Back when c2s weren’t complete garbage
