There comes a moment in every tailgater’s life where the giant bus/van/hearse in the driveway has to go. Whether it’s because of financial issues, a divorce, kids — something always comes up where you can’t have dial up your boys and drunkenly drive to the stadium. It’s sad, but it’s very true.
Just ask one man in Des Moines who has listed his Iowa Hawkeyes tailgate bus for $5,500. According to the seller, he’s relinquishing control because “kids and life have changed his ability to make it to Iowa City.” Real life is such a bummer sometimes.
Details from the seller:
Great Hawkeye Short bus for tailgating at Kinnick this fall. The interior of this bus in one of a kind and professionally done. From the “Fight Fight Fight” ceiling to the sealed floor, custom upholstery and professionally installed stereo, this bus will keep your party going all the way to Kinnick and other stadiums. Can seat 7 or 8 comfortably to and from Iowa City. Has seating area with table and bar behind the driver seat and two additional pole seats that can be removed if needed. Has additional storage rack on the back, plus the large storage box shown in picture, to haul your tent, chairs and all your tailgate gear.
Moving on from the seller’s sadness, let’s take a tour of what you’re potentially riding during another mediocre season.
Fight, Fight, Fight ceiling:
The custom seating area and speakers:
A potential stripper pole (if you can move that one chair):
And the rear bus storage area:
Not a terrible asking price for what you’re getting. Just make sure there aren’t too many miles on it/hidden mechanical issues.
