Imagine this: you're eight years old again, waiting for the school bus. There you are with your bowl haircut and a fresh pair of LA Lights when a school bus pulls up with painted flames on the side and real flames coming out the back. You think, "Oh no, am I going to school or through the nine circles of Dante's Inferno?" because your literature game was that tight in third grade. That'd be terrifying right? Fortunately, we've never heard of such a bus actually being used to pick up kids. But that doesn't mean they haven't been created. Check out the butcherings of a childhood staple with the 15 Most Ratchet School Bus Conversions.

"Kushti Bok" means good luck in Romany. But there's no way it being stamped on this photo didn't have something to do with the word "kush" being a part of it.

And I thought my dad loves his deck. At least he doesn't try and take his with him everywhere he goes.

There is way too much going on here: "DESTROY THE ORCS", the rising sun, and what looks like the eyes and mouth of a fish from Spongebob.

Can't you imagine eight cats and stacks of newspapers dating back to the '70s filling up the inside of this bus?

This bus has been converted to a Fish and Chips restuarant. Wouldn't a British flag be more appropriate than the Canadian one?

This jet-powered school bus shoots out 80-foot flames and can climb to 367 mph. Don't go chasing it if you're late in the morning.

LOL at "Higher Education." That's one way to label the ridiculous lift kit.
