Watch the video to find out..... Helluva story.

Gotta love the animation in the video, showing that nice straight-line shot from Reno to Texas, as if nothing happened on the way.... From the video:
Shana: Hey Nikki, glad you made it.
Nikki: Me too, it was a long trip!
(You don't say.....)

WYC, what are those seats, with the way huge headrests? And was Nikki really driving the whole time?

(Truck footage starts at about 3:45, BTW)

Remember that thread well; it was after reading it that we started carrying the spare PCM+IDM on every non-local excursion.

Thanks yall!


Yeah you like that strait line from reno!,! I think nikki almost started laughing the frist time they said "long trip". Long no kidding!!! Nikki and i shared most of the driving. But when we got there they kicked me out for fillming and then Nikki had to drive in and out about three different times. ( we actuly drove in from the other direction) so much for truth in tv..
George the horse is doing well. Nikki worked off of him most of the summer. Riding hard in the mountains . We could have probably got there with George on our oun but it was realy good education to get to spend that time with a world class trainer.. I know my own horse training deffanently bennafited from the trip. Our truck is still purring right along. Thanks to you all and the advice help and other wise..... God I love this country and the connects we make! Glad to finally get to share this with you all.. Fte rules!

Take care all my friends!
Cheers Jeff
