First off, that's really cool about how there was a driver on the inside. I never knew that. The more you know!

Secondly, oh no! Telethon, anyone?

While I'd rather 40k go to families in need or a charity, it would be nice to preserve it since MC couldnt raise the 7000 dollars to buy the real original Electric Mayhem bus on ebay in 1998(and thus, some other person bought it and the bus got torched to the ground)

Also it's hard watching the original film...it's so full of magic...that "Movin Right Along" scene to me alone is a thousand times better than the new movie imho

I think Jason Segel should donate the money to the museum in exchange for letting him drive it to promote the movie (or DVD release, since it'll take some time to restore it). *cough cough* Are you listening Jason? :wink:
