2000 Miles in the Worst GTO Ever! Holey Goat Returns Home

[@harvyss136]

JD is lucky to have a dad like you. And your lucky to have such a cool kid like JD! Great video guys!

[@duster71]

I totally agree, this was a wonderful adventure for father and son

[@FaTWizard]

I have to agree! I wish my dad was was cool with him! My dad was a dick!

[@louispacheco7443]

Perfectly said

[@futten3230]

was gonna say that hes a lucky kid to get to go on an adventure with his dad thats just a great dad right there

[@slayerfam2]

Most dads don't make videos to earn their income to be able to do things like this with their kids .... and are "dicks" because they work their life away to provide for unnapreciative little pricks as yourselves ..... and probably gets no action from mommy dearest anymore ... gotta look at things for what they are ... maybe your dad's aren't really dicks.... maybe they are just tired and worn down from years of making a hard living... not making thousands and thousands of dollars making little videos .....

[@rocktoonzz]

You know this is a trip that JD will remember fondly for the rest of his life. He's going to have some stories about his old man that no one is gonna believe. Good thing you documented it all lol. Love what you're doing, and how you're doing it!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks! Yeah, at least he'll have proof!

[@madengineer9072]

@@PoleBarnGarage You're a good father. This is the type of stuff that really molds a young a boy into a man.

There was another famed car that healed itself as it drove. They called it Christine.

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Love you took your boy on that trip. He will remember it for the rest of his life.

Hopefully he'll pass it along

[@matthewold5530]

Awesome. Making memories with your kid is what hobbies are all about.

[@jacquikowalewsky7691]

Great trip, brought back memories living in Texas 50+ years ago. The message at the end is spot on - cars really are for driving.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

What an awesome trip! Congratulations on a successful journey and planting of the cactus. That abandoned Chevron was pretty cool! Would love to find out the scoop on the wagon

You sir and JD just defined every splinter and spare part of Power Tour... Cant say enough about the respect your son has for you!! And the fact he loves you as much!! Y'all have produced a lifetime of memories that I'll live by....and that we can live by...💪

WOW! Memories are made of this! You got a great Dad. Dad you got a great Son.

[@wolfparty4234]

This was awesome!!! My nephew and I just got back from a 2000 mile trip from Maryland to Texas to buy a truck then drove it to Florida to my 80 year old dad’s house to bring home his motorcycles in the back of the truck to Maryland that took 6 days. It was hotter then you know what and long but I’d do it again in a heartbeat!!!💪🏼🔥🔥🔥👍🏻🤣🙏🏻❤️

[@michaelb.42112]

Sounds awesome , and now you have a bike, too.

[@haemhorrhoidian]

It just doesn't get any better than this,at 35 mins in to see that cactus going home was one of the most touching YT moments i've ever seen,i watched the whole Holey Goat series just this week pretty much back to back and i loved every episode,Dude,you're an absolute legend,the Goat deserves to be back where it belongs,it couldn't have been done by anyone better 🙂 looking forward to more now.🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

That abandoned drive-in is just way too cool. Love it.

[@BillyBob-uc9zp]

TWO THOUSAND MILES. Two thousand miles, In just a few days, With two thousand holes, Shining two thousand rays. The Holey Goat. Resurrected from dead, With no hammer too big, With two pairs of eyes, They aint needing no jig. The Holey Goat. Well that car did them proud, Back to where it was born, Not a breakdown in sight, Bar the odd belt was torn. The Holey Goat. Local temperatures high, Air con on delete, Them highly strung wipers, Would just bat off that sleet. The Holey Goat. The soundtrack was rocking, Just schmoozing them miles, Wernt nothing on earth, Could of upset there smiles. The Holey Goat. Good memories made, A road trip to gloat, For The Father, The Son, And The Holey Goat! 😎

[@1980bwc]

Good job, Billy Bob! See, I can rhyme too. You wrote an awesome poem, for these two. 😁😁😁

Thanks Bryan 😎

@@Rev.Clarence And the Judge on that day, Locked his dear Pa away, It was the end of the line, Over some speeding fine. Well that boy get's to crying, His Pa's heart now dying, Surely bin some mistaking, Them years now forsaken. Well that car copped the hump, Thought that canyon it'd jump, Turns out it don't float, No more Holey Goat . . . There's the country version Andy!!. Thanks for the compliment. Smile on 😎

Awesome

An old car , a Dad and a Son best trips ever. Went from Arkansas to South Dakota in a 65 Impala SS 3 times with my son, best trips I ever had! Old cars bring people together something special about it.

[@cozythunder1]

Making great memories with your son! He'll never forget them!

[@gizzymoto4153]

I've been watching VGG, JYD, and the gang for 5 years now. This and every episode leading up to it takes the cake for me. The end says it all. Great job man. You and your son was shining so bright in my eyes. Love you guys at PBG.

[@irishman63lemans73]

So damn cool. Smiled for entire video. Loved that the former owner brother got to ride in the Goat. Fun trip. Thanks for sharing.

Bro, I came on board through the Junkyard Digs episode. Now I'm watching all your past episodes. Great content and editing. It is so cool to have your son in tow! Keep up the great work, I wish you much success!!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks! I'm so glad this video is getting some love, it's my favorite one

[@michaelb.42112]

Me too. I came here from Junkyard Digs, but prefer this channel now. Doesn't mean I can't watch both, just saying.

[@countludwigvonnippeltassel]

I just love watching these "dad and son" videos. JD is such a lucky lad, he is going to have so many amazing memories and so many fantastic tales to tell his kids. Dalton, you're an amazing dad and you're giving him an education that no school on earth could manage. Long may it continue.

[@BradLowrance]

Love that you're doing this with JD. Just think of the memories he's going to have road tripping and wrenching with his dad! Awesome job, keep up the great work!

[@ChipW]

Ok so, after seeing a couple of shots of people looking at the car at red lights. Maybe pick up a pair of those glasses with cameras build in (or two), then you and JD take a much shorter road trip and just record the looks on people's faces. I'm fairly certain, there have been some good ones.

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

What a Road Trip 😳 You and JD had so Much Fun and The Road Warrior Holey Goat. I think it belongs in Roswell. It's outa this World 🌎 Great Memories.For you boys 👦

[@dave4803]

I love seeing that car. It goes to show an old car no matter how banged up still has loads of life in it.

[@rickloera9468]

That was a trip of a lifetime. JD will have plenty if things to tell his family when he is older. Those are the best trips. My son and I took a random trip on Route 66 from California to Oklahoma last November. We had the best time doing it. Now we are planning the trip all of the way from Los Angeles to Chicago next year. Can't wait. Loved the old drive-in that you stopped at. That was an amazing find.

[@michaelb.42112]

I wish I had kids to do that with. That sounds like fun ! I guess the next best thing would be to go with friends.

Thanks for taking me through the United States I've never seen before. The train is very similar up here in Canada . Alberta Saskatchewan in Manitoba very similar. You don't see a lot of old buildings in relics like you do in your country. I really like the windshield wiper contraption.. Did you say that engine came out of a 69 Pontiac?. Anyway ,,,, thanks again for bringing me along.. great to see you and your son together sharing each other's time.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Yep 69 grand prix, turd engine

I have been looking forward to this video for a while. What a great father son trip. I am sure your son will remember this for ever.

I know this is an older video… but Dalton, we need another road trip video with you and your son. My son just turned 2 and I hope someday I can make memories like this with him! Keep on rocking man!

Couple things. First - apologies to Chris at NNKH. Found your channel after he stopped at your place with that Gran Torino. I went down a PBG rabbit hole and never came back. I play all these videos in my parts store during business hours. Second - JD's face when he was contemplating the dog food bacon jerky was priceless. Great video.

I daily an old square body suburban. I drove it just shy of 20,000 miles, all over the country last year. Almost all road trip miles. Mountains, forests, deserts, swamps of the south, west coast to east coast. Mostly back roads, with miles and miles of dirt roads mixed in there too. Just get out there and explore. I’ve come across some pretty incredible places just out screwing around.

The silver discs on the ground are called platters. The film sits on them and then it's fed thru the projector. I used to work at a drive in, and I ran the projector. Cinemeccanica 9000, quad platter, auto rewind and high output xenon bulb. When they popped they sounded like a cannon going off!

I like the same destinations, and JD gets to see the country, something I have NEVER done, and I'm 55. I like the Drive-In theater. This whole episode is like a living photo album that JD can show his grandkids, when they are on vacation on Mars, from Roswell. The UFO Museum is on my bucket list.
