Paul Stender and his team from Indy Boys have created an unusual school bus that is capable of reaching speeds over 367 MPH. Dubbed 'The School Time Jet-Powered School Bus' is fitted with a jet engine from a Phantom fighter plane; naturally, it also shoots 80-foot flames from its rear.

The School Time Jet-Powered School Bus was created for entertainment and to display at schools to keep kids off drugs. This bad boy isn't fuel-efficient, however; it uses 150 gallons of fuel in just one quarter-mile run.
