I believe it is Cummins, but I will have to check. (It's based off a real bus, and I know it has the same as our 2007 HDX...hmmm...)

I must say: I find the term "Special Needs" a little rediculous, I think it sounds childish.... I am disabled I just don't like special needs... I don't know why!

 Sorry I needed to vent.

The district that currently owns S10601 ended up needing it for a bit longer. The bus is ready for pickup this week though.

The imagined budget does not allow for a new bus...but a 2006 bus is RELATIVELY new.
