Channel Title: Eugene Channel Description: I like taking people on a drive. Come with me as I drive cars and buses and whatever I can get my hands on. <video> POV Bus Drive: Getting the Hell out of NYC in two MCI J4500s Description: An out and back from Maryland to NYC warrants a quick drop-off and leaving Manhattan as quickly as possible. Went pretty smoothly this time around. Vehicle: 2020 MCI J4500 Engine: Detroit Diesel DD13 Transmission: Allison B500 Fuel Sense 6-speed Chapters 00:00 slow in Times Square 03:48 dashing to the tunnel 05:00 Lincoln Tunnel and all its glory 08:32 NJ-495 scramble to I-95 13:04 freedom </video> <video> POV Drive: 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Description: Today, we are driving an ND1 Miata RF, Grand Touring trim with the 6-speed manual. This has the 2.0 liter 155 hp motor that the US received prior to the updated 184 hp engine found in the ND2. This being the RF (retractable fastback) model, it comes with a metal hardtop that makes it look rather sleek, but it is not a full convertible, more of a targa body style. This is NOT my car - as is such, I am not driving anywhere near the limit, and am rather exploring new roads and enjoying the experience. This is not a fast car, but still a rather capable one with limits being found a little higher than expected. Enjoy the sights and sounds this machine makes. 0:00 Start-Up 0:20 Roof Operation 0:42 Driving 1:13 Back Road Driving 5:48 Going Downhill 7:44 Filling up and Looking Under the Hood </video> <video> POV Bus Drive: Cruising the Hills of I-68 with two MCI J4500s Description: Here is a full uncut video of a segment of a deadhead trip to Swanton, MD with two University of Maryland J4500s.

This time, I'm on the Catalina Highway, climbing and descending Mount Lemmon, just north of Tucson, Arizona. I think this is a must-drive if you're in the area.

Today's bus is a battery electric and an articulated bus, both categories I have little experience with. Surprisingly easy to drive, once you get used the pivot point. Plenty of low end torque. Rattle heaven. Enjoy.
