Hoping for the same bus I had last year. This summer I have IC CE maybe an 03 or 04?

I think my last year's bus was an 05 IC CE. Loved it.

My bus was great (except when the fuel sending unit went on it and it took two trips to the dealer to fix it) and when the Turbo went on it. It was still a great bus. Loved the electric mirrors, didn't love the controls on the steering wheel, especially when stopping on a hill with a curve. Great pick up, good traction, only got really stuck once.

Nothing great has ever been accomplished without enthusiasm!

I will be driving the same bus I got in February 2006 (when other drivers received brand-new IC CE-200s).

My bus is a 2001 Intl/BB, 71 pass., hyd brakes, T444E, AT545. It's a decent bus with less problems than our new ones.
