*grin* this bus is HUGE, but i must admit ivan is one of my favorite vehicles to drive. ivan intimidating, a real challenge, but you all know how i love challenges.
ivan is one of 7 terra buses in the world, the other six are in greenland. in total he weighs 67,000 lbs and the wheels stand nearly 5' 6'' off the ground. he is an all terrain vehicle built specifically for artic/antarctic climates, slow travel. he has 6 gears, and a gas tank that hold 80 gallons of diesel. we use about 1/3 a tank of gas every time we drive over the scott base hill out to willy field. a gas guzler if i have ever seen one. *grin*
around here we joke that folks back in the states are going to start ordering delta's and terra buses to transport their kids to school because hummers are no longer big enough!
i hear that we can hook up our ipod to the inside stereo system. *grin* which is a super good thing because this beast moves slow!!
