Having the thumbnail and title be misleading had an interesting unintended consequence. It's very easy to tell who commented before watching the video. If you're reading this before watching the video, don't listen to me. It's totally six minutes of me explaining why a Fiesta ST is the perfect first car for a teenager. Not that interesting, really. You should probably go watch that Jason guy from Engineering Explained instead.
They'd still wrap in around a tree with all their friends in the back. After all those signs at the top of steep hills don't apply to me, why would I use a low gear ?
The anti-lack of space in the back is actually good! It means, the kids won't ruin any of the furniture inside the real house, won't... soak the couch in liquids of weird origin AND you won't hear 16-year old Mary during her first time, because it's sound-proof. This is rather clever
I am still not sure if it is aprils fools joke. but i would love to have this bus. it would be so much cheaper than my tiny room i pay monthly rent for at the moment. And the bus would be much bigger
You forgot the Trabant! It's even better for a first car (in Western European countries) it's cheap, easy to work on, has no tax, almost no insurance, and it's fun! What does anyone need more?
I actually got a decommissioned minibus as a first car. Most of the problems with the full on bus are solved with the minibus. It fits in parking spaces, is more fuel efficent, and can still fit a bed and stuff to live in! I live in my bus. Its my actual home!
Its good for socialising too, your kid will drive everyone around in the famous party bus :) That massive reproducing problem isnt great, but atleast there is room for the new childs :)
living in a country where you need to be 18 to get a drivers license and 21 to get a bus/truck license which costs a fuckton of money and is needed even when transporting no other people, I can happily report this was the most useful video I have watched. in the last 10 minutes
My first car (in 2004) was a 1982 Honda Accord. Manual, and our house was on the middle of a hill. When we acquired it from a family friend, it sometimes had to start from second gear after stopping at lights because it wouldn't go into first, and shook like a Parkinson's patient if it went over 55mph. When we got it, my dad was on a several month deployment in Qatar, so my mom had to teach me to not only drive but drive stick. When my dad got home at the end of the summer and looked at the car, he discovered that two of the four sparks were corroded through the gap and that the clutch petal was miscalibrated. Didn't fix the wheel alignment problem, maybe because it would keep me driving at a slower speed on the highway, I don't know, but the fixes made me manual-for-life driver.
My first car was an 81 Honda Accord 3-door. Puke Green. But more importantly, I'm in my 40s and I will never forget my favorite elementary school bus ever. It was a 1984 Thomas Built SAF-T Conventional with a Navistar International Harvester S Series Diesel with a 4 speed manual. It was owned by a private contractor and had chrome wheels and tinted windows. It was driven by a very butch woman who rocked mirrored Aviators better than Tom Cruise ever could. We had an agreement. She would drop me off at my front door as long as I had a diet coke ready for her when she looped back. I learned early on how well bribery worked.
I live literally a mile from that Kmart so I can confirm that yes it was excersize having to walk ALLLLLLL the way from the back of the parking lot where Robert parked the bus to get to the store.
Some people say that guys with trucks are compensating for something... ...how much you're compensating, if your daily driver is a decomissioned school bus?
The best car is a hand-me-down that the teen is slightly embarrassed to drive but will get him/her to school/work as needed. A 2008 Altima has worked for my son for a couple years.
The perfect first car for a teenager is a 1949 Plymouth with bias ply tires. It can't go fast, the gears have to be shifted manually and it takes 100% concentration to prevent it from wandering all over the road.
Deam in my country u have separate license for Bikes x4(depends on engine capacity). 3 x for cars (normal || limted to 45 with weight no more than 800kg || with trailer). For tractor with trailer. 2x For trucks (box truck and semi), and 2 for Buses (limited to 16 and "unlimited"). Apart of that if u wanna earn money for example using semi truck u have to get additional papers and courses...
Genius! Except for teens being walking horomones. I'm rebuilding a 3.0 V6 to go in a 90's Mazda/Ford B3000/Ranger for my daughter. It's slow, reliable and cheap to insure.
I almost thought it was an old video....then I thought, screw it, I'll watch it again. I was wrong. Much needed hilarity for a Monday! On a side note, I thought about buying an old Blue Bird before college....way cheaper than the average car of the same age...alas I live in the city, so no where to park it...
I feel like one of the school busses based on a GMC or Chevrolet van honestly wouldn't be too bad with these points in mine...plus alot of those have a fairly beefy V8 or V6
Unfortunately for UK kids, you still need a commercial license to drive this even as a personal / private vehicle if: you carry more than 8 passengers and/or the bus is under 30 years old. My learning cars included 2 2.8 Capris and a Ferrari 308. And I did just fine! Personally, I'd suggest the Trabant!
I was searching for "bus" to pull up all the vids from the bus saga, and this pulled up and looked fun so I just added it anyways. Actually did not see that coming at all, 10/10 April fools XD 1:56 Ok I know that's the slogan of the bus company... But I can't help reading it as the slogan of the cleanup kit... The best part about this video is the number of things that are actually not wrong... Ok how the actual crap does that not require a large vehicle license. That's mildly terrifying.
What about the small version of a bus? An '85 Chrysler minivan! It can painted yellow and can serve as a place to sleep. (I don't recall any camper conversions for this but get a VW bus camper then.)
Best first car for a kid is a Trabant Wagon. You gotta mix your oil with your fuel and do all your own maintenance, which makes you really appreciate the convience of modern automobiles, no door dings ever, and it keeps the shallow fucks out of your kid's car, especially if things are gonna get hot and heavy in that wagon back.
My 08' Rabbit I had was a cool car, and when I hit black ice and slid into a pole i walked away clean. VW may not be super reliable but damn they make sure their cars are safe.
Almost none of the points you made apply to the situation in the Netherlands. For one, there are no school buses here. But I still enjoyed the video :)
I thought that the Trabant is the perfect one...at least that's what I expecting when waiting 18 years to get a brand new one instead of buying one second (or more) hand.
O...kay... I don't even want to know how youtubes algorithms work if almost every single video in the suggestions on the side is of a 16 year old girl getting or showing off her first car... oh and one scotty kilmer video with SCAM in a red speech bubble with an arrow pointing at him in the thumbnail LOL
If your college-bound teen is somewhat awkward, I'd have to suggest something like a 4-cyl Nissan Frontier or Chevy Colorado. Deeply underpowered. But once word gets out "that gamer guy in 302 has a truck", people will be knocking on his door every single day to go get pallets, cinder blocks, and cat-pissed couches. Instant social life.
learned how to drive manual when i was 14 and i drive a for 1987 ford bronco with a automatic i want to swap it SO BADLY but its just kinda hard as that requires A HELL of a lot of work
Back in 1985, a kid I knew got an old early '70s Corvette Stingray for a high school graduation present. I asked if his dad was trying to kill him. Corvettes had a long reputation for being dangerous death-traps that would turn themselves into shattered piles of blood-covered fiberglass when these things start to veer and fishtail out of control (or just hit something when going on a max-speed kamikaze jaunt). The marvelously self-destructive 1970 Chevrolet Corvette 454 Roadster being a prime example of automotive beauty and power. Throw caution to the wind and mash down on that immense engine screaming 390 HP and 500 lb.ft. of torque. 1971 bumped this up to 425 HP with the LS6 Chevelle engine. th-cam.com/video/QRJ7fIRYVVw/w-d-xo.html

As a truck driver - I get the whole "You gotta learn situation awareness when your in everyone way" this...this is my life
I want to thank you for partaking in every boy's dream: Taking a school bus and converting it into an RV. Also, happy April Fools Day
My school-bus idea is taking a Blue Bird RE and cutting it in half, thusly creating a small but operational private bus transport.
They'd still wrap in around a tree with all their friends in the back.
After all those signs at the top of steep hills don't apply to me, why would I use a low gear ?

Speak for yourself lol
Okay, you talked me into it. I'll trade you my crappy 3rd gen Camaro for the bus...
I came for the cars but I stay for your humour. You have me in stitches every video! “18 times the weight of a duck... that ways a thousand pounds”
