We Road Tripped Across America in a 60 Year-Old Truck

Описание: The GRAND FINALE of our insane cross-country adventure! We bought a sight-unseen 1959 GMC ramp truck at auction in New York and attempted to drive it all the way to California. What started as a romantic husband-and-wife road trip turned into an absolute nightmare: 17 breakdowns, lost reverse gear, failing transmission, leaking diffs, roadside fixes with wire and vice grips, near-death scares with semis, and endless hotel mornings in the desert heat.In this final Episode 8, we push the old girl through the last grueling miles – no reverse, rattling noises, scorching heat, and one last desperate push to the finish line. Will the truck (and our marriage) survive? We tally up the crazy stats: 2600 miles, 353 gallons of fuel, 91 hours driving, 32 repairs, 3 tows, and countless smiles from the pink Barbie Jeep towed behind.From NYC streets to California desert, breakdowns to burritos – this was the worst AND best road trip ever. Thanks for joining the chaos!If you haven't seen the previous episodes, start here:    • WORST ROAD TRIP EVER? DREAM OR NIGHTMARE -...
