A decade or so ago, former WSU student Paul Twibell was a registered nurse with American Medical Response, an ambulance service in the Seattle area, which was selling one of its older ambulances. Paul bought it and had it decorated with several Cougar logos. It's seen here against the rolling hills of the Palouse with an American flag, WSU Cougar-head flag, crimson and white streamers, and other decorations.

The Cougulance has since made many tailgating trips to WSU. Now, it sits for sale overlooking Puget Sound. Maybe you’d like to be the next one to jump behind the wheel, turn on the lights and siren, and head for Pullman?
