11-Route 66 New Mexico Part 2

[@meandean222]

Great video, I finally gave a 55' Clipper to a family friend that had wanted it for years, watching it deteriorating. I'm glad that car is his now. I saved it by letting someone that really loved it, have it.

Thanks so much @meandean222 !! That’s awesome you gave it to someone who really loves it.

[@keeb381]

I really like watching your videos, the scenery is great but the sound of the 55 is awesome!!

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks so much @keeb381!! You just made my day!! It's that Black-Widow exhaust - I wasn't sure about 'em at first, but now I think they sound like the heartbeat of America!!

You seem to have a natural talent for finding bat wings! Thanks Jeff

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks @johnserou6466 !! You know those Batwings are my favorite right?!?

Excellent filming and photography! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Loved the Sun 'n Sand Motel with a telephone booth! New Mexico was my favorite on our Route 66 adventure! The landscape is amazing!

Thanks so much @UkuleleBetty !! You just made my day!! New Mexico is definitely amazing right?!?

GREAT, Jeff... I love the fact that you left the train passing by in your Vids. I'm old enough to remember steam locomotives! I've been in touch with one of my old PWR tour buddies. He and his family did 17, all 'Long-Hauls'. He no longer goes. He pointed out the fact that no-one really cared that we had done so many tours in the early days and concentrated only on the Newbie's. I trying to convince him to do one more this year. We'll see. I'm going to write you at Hot Rod Magazine and send you some of my photos. Paul.

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks so much @justpassinthruonR66 !! I hope to see you guys at The Hot Rod Power Tour in June & I'm looking forward to your pictures!!

[@papatangoable]

Interesting to see abandoned gas stations from an earlier Route 66 era, and then finding a Madonna of the Trail marker to connect with another great video! Looking forward to the next journey segment!

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks @papatangoable!! Pretty awesome right?!?

[@gasratzcustoms]

Dude! Thanks for taking us along! Great video! Love that old Route 66

[@jeffthisted]

Wow!! Thank you so much for the kind words @gasratzcustoms & thanks for watching!! I really appreciate it!!

[@The_Mace]

Great video, Jeff! Watch out for Walter White! 😅

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks @The_Mace !! Isn't Walter White a character on a tv show?

[@The_Mace]

@@jeffthisted Yep...that's the joke. 🤣

[@jeffthisted]

Gotcha!! Thanks@@The_Mace !!

The next time your in Albuquerque you should hit up the Frontier they have really good breakfast there i haven't tried their lunch or dinner yet but very affordable and they serve really good salsa especially but you gotta be careful because it's fresh out of a hot pot my brother burned himself touching it once haha but curiosity will get you

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks for the heads-up on the Frontier @lancecharley8822 !! I'l definitely give it a try for breakfast.

[@lancecharley8822]

@@jeffthisted their Carne Adovada is my favorite 👍

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks@@lancecharley8822 now I’ll definitely have to give it a try!!

[@justpassinthruonR66]

Jeff...I can't find the '24 Hot Rod Magazine route map. I guess it has not been released yet. Paul.

[@jeffthisted]

You are correct @justpassinthruonR66 - it hasn't been released yet. What'd you think of New Mexico Part 2?

[@rickolson-51]

Those old signs are worth a small fortune, wonder why they are still there.

[@jeffthisted]

They’re pretty cool right @rickolson3114 They’re probably still there because they belong to the owner.

[@crosleyfiver000destruct0]

Love the vids, sounds like your exhaust has a loose clamp/hanger or something??

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks so much @crosleyfiver8686 !! No... there's no loose clamp / hanger or something... My exhaust is the heartbeat of America baby!!

[@jeffthisted]

@vm722 it’s got an old LS in it now but wait’ll you see the upgrade it’s getting after the GNRS.
