I only posted this because I was surprised to get anything this adequate.  
When I saw the bus approaching, I  prefocused (through my car windshield) on 
a crack in the pavement that I hoped was about the same distance as the 
vehicle would be, then panned as it passed at about 30 mph.  This with a 
manual focus lens at f/1.4 (my Olympus Zuiko 50mm f/1.4).
