GEMC Minamoto Sky Traveller

This is GEMC's newest bus, the GEMC Minamoto Sky Traveller, and is easily one of the most realistic available in SL. It uses their new fuel system, engine damage system, and even batteries. So this bus can and will break down or run out of gas if you aren't mindful of the gauges.
It has two gas tanks: one for the main engine, and one for the air conditioning and air compressor engines. In the event that one tank goes empty, the bus is equip with a fuel pump button which as long as there's still gas in one of the tanks, will divide however much fuel is left between the two. In other words, both tanks will end up having the same amount of fuel left.
The bus also has a fully functioning electrical system which is powered by two batteries located under the driver's seat. These batteries power the buses interior and exterior lighting, computer system, and even the starter. If the batteries are either dead or too low on power, you won't be able to start up the engine. Luckily, the bus is also equip with an emergency start button, which will start the engine in the event of the batteries being dead or too low on charge.
One other realistic element to the bus is the engine damage system. As you drive the bus, the engine will heat up like it would in real life. The faster you go, the hotter the engine is going to get faster. Once the engine overheats, you'll hear a loud bang and the bus will stop with smoke coming out from under the hood. Once this happens, the engine is broken down, and won't start until you fix it no matter how many times you try to start it up again. To fix the engine, exit the bus and go around to the back. When you open the hood, smoke is going to come billowing out, so be ready for that. After selecting the "repair" option, an animation will play of your avatar working on the engine. This will go on for about 30 seconds. After that, the engine is all fixed up and ready to run again. Revving the engine too much will also cause it to overheat, so be careful about that. The dash has an array of indicators, so should anything be wrong with the bus, you'll see the proper warning light on the dash lit.
All in all, it's a great bus that's loads of fun to drive. And it can carry plenty of passengers too^_^. The GEMC Minamoto Sky Traveller is available both inworld and in the SL Marketplace for L$2500. I definitely recommend it.

I went ahead and picked Lorna to be the one to drive it for this set^_^.

I don't actually remember where I took these shots. Only that they were taken on multiple roads.
