Cross country in a hearse? As bad as you think...

Chris has a very unique car - a hearse. If you think it is the perfect car for a cross country journey, you are incorrect. The inescapable logic did not stop him from trying though.

"High to harambe" my favorite quote of all time

[@brettbilger1390]

So glad this guy is back. Anyone who does donuts with a dead body in their car with the blessing of law enforcement is welcome to tell me bedtime stories any morning of the week.

[@Meekmillan]

Brett Bilger wait a min...

[@Morphxeus]

WOW, a talking parrot with excellent humor!

[@variousengineering1965]

Bedtime and morning in the same sentence 🤔

[@harshpandey5228]

Donut Or burnout?

[@DrakeKillah]

Yes, because some of us actually go to bed in the morning, not the night. I can attest to that XD

[@jeffreyalford3548]

I needed to watch this video twice because he made so many quick jokes. This guy is an awesome story teller

Mosquitoes pacing you at 95mph? Must've drank the blood of Usain Bolt

[@cartelautomotivo]

such a good story teller ... I lost it at "I'm ginger, my shoulders look like they've been hunting with Dick Cheney they're so freckled"

[@LosantoBeats]

In deed. Could listen to this guy for Hours!.. He should have his own show/youtube channel.

[@abnormal1743]

@@LosantoBeats, he has a KZbin channel The Rockabilly Arts.

[@EdBolian]

Chris is an amazing storyteller with unique and awesome taste in automobiles. Enjoy!

[@hard_celery5583]

Not sure if you watch Silicon Valley but they used "shrewd negotiator" in the season premiere. Better trademark it while you can!

To bad he and you are promoting someone who doesnt pay there bills. Lmk if you want screen shots.

[@EdBolian]

Not sure what you mean @Zombie4loan.

[@hard_celery5583]

I guess you can say he was a shrewd negotiator.

[@RedMo46]

That was the most awkward cop selfie I've ever seen oh my god hahaha

[@MrHondablink]

Back in spring of 1986, I had one of the best family trips as a kid. My parents and sister delivered a used hearse to a friend Needles, CA from Mankato, MN. In the back was a used body lift and used stainless steel embalming table. Having to stop in CO for the construction alot was always great. (Roads were 1 lane and you would have to wait for a pilot car.) Crowds would gather around trying to get a peak inside. People would gasp as a family of 4 would pile out. Seeing this and thinking about that really makes me want to get one just for fun.

[@bigmac965]

"Vampiric". What a great word!

[@guskipper1194]

"Like I have been hunting with Dick Cheney" - I'm dead.

[@theresaoakes9387]

I actually had to pause the video I laughed so hard. knew I'd find a comment here close by.

[@Russiansniper93]

"They're just pacing us, looking over like, 'HAHA'"

[@AlbertoDsign]

I don´t get it...

[@damianthielemier6249]

Noteable size? Dude, we’ve got mosquitoes in Arkansas that can stand flat footed and molest turkeys. And rolling the window down? Nah, you’re just breathing ‘em now. Haha

[@jonsmith1259]

"Water pump was making noise like a Quarterbacks shoulder" Good one!

[@mauser8515]

Hahaha, Being an Alabamian and having lived in Georgia, I can say that both state's law enforcement can be d-bags when it comes to how they view folks that like fast machines. Also the lack of Auto repair support on weekends is pretty scary, lol. Good stories man, thanks for sharing them. I decided to take a "knocking" Harley XL1200 on a cross country trip from Alabama to Wyoming to only blow a head gasket in Iowa. By a stroke of shear luck there was a Harley Dealer in the middle of nowhere, so I pulled in to ask them to perform a timing adjustment. At the time I had no idea it had a blown head, I simply knew it was popping and running lean. While waiting to hear what was going on with the motor and why it was running so lean, I had lunch at the only diner for 100 miles with a local farmer. After lunch the farmer and I parted ways as his bike was ready to go. The shop manager brought me back to my bike on the lift and showed me the blown head gasket and told me the repair and knock could be upwards of $1200 which was more than the bike was worth. The farmer had told me earlier that if I needed a place to crash to come out to his shop, so I gave him a call. He said, grab the needed parts, and "come on, I got you". I reluctantly purchased the $85 in head gaskets/seals and had the bike hauled 50 miles out in the middle of corn country to his property where we pulled up to a big two door shop for combines and tractors. Inside in the corner he had a lift, and every tool imaginable made by Snap-On. He and his wife greeted me at the bike, and they offered up a warm meal, a shower and bed during my stay. Not only did they deliver this man stayed and helped me rebuild my bike in a matter of hours while sharing wild stories of bootlegging, racing, and bike building. We wrapped up the repairs at 1AM, cranked it and had a couple of cold ones once it fired and idled smoothly. The next morning at first light we shook hands and he gave me a bottle of outlaw tempelton rye. I spent the next two weeks on the road living out of a tent, and the bike had zero problems after that. The greatest experience I've ever had on the road, truly.

[@justletmecomment6453]

"Just lookin' for a shady spot to take a nap" I'll have to remember that one!

[@Dknife9]

my 4th car as a teenager in high school was a 1972 Cadillac 4 door hard top - friggen awesome cars

Saw a hearse, thought about Arne

[@danield6723]

Story took place in 2005, but there is a 2009+ Infiniti G37 at 5:40 .... time travel

[@psychoholic]

+Dan C It was an ‘08 G37S. Some of the pictures from the story were from the trip (like the side of the road and the state trooper) the rest were of other pictures I have of the car. Note the different wheels in some of the pictures (it currently has 20s on it). Most of the trip pictures were of landscapes and other cars since we were in the car most of the time.

[@psychoholic]

That's between you guys. I'm his friend and not his accountant or keeper.

[@zombie4loan287]

Enjoy having a friend who calls you trash! His words. Let me know if you would like to see how shady your so called "friend" is! I have it in Texts

[@flyboy3306]

about $1,000.00 in CA prices for gas

[@chicago1680]

Great story!!! Love the details had me cracking up. Glad you made it!!

[@ConvoyBebop]

Small world of cars here... a couple of months ago before I moved away from Colorado, I bought a 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Funeral Home limo, 6 Doors, 3 rows, originally sold to a funeral home in Oklahoma, nothing crazy except for it has a 425 in it now... upon seeing how convenient it would be to haul a small army of people, my sister and brother-in-law decided that they could use one for them and their 4 children.... we found the perfect 1992 Fleetwood front wheel drive limo on Craigslist, unfortunately we were a day late and a dollar short to buying it, this was back in like February,But thanks to this video I recognized the guy that was selling it as Mr. Helm, purely by the Mohawk. I find it hilarious that I'm sitting here in the middle of the night watching these car videos and had this revelation lol

[@ConvoyBebop]

I wish I would have found her, but this limo kind of fell in my lap because the guy wanted to trade for my non-running MR2, and I do have a problem I like to trade cars to something different, and a 1989 limo with a big block engine swapped into it is too weird for me to pass up.

[@head4ever]

Good story, The Ed guy and the Robb guy are hilarious. I just found this channel today and I've been binge watching. I'm really enjoying this channel!

[@zachiga]

This is by far the best story channel I have ever watched, keep up the amazing content guys!

[@glorylord6]

8-12 miles to the gallon on the best day of it's life and 8-12 gallons to the mile on the rest.

[@ikegel1923]

should have used those coathangers instead of shelling out $5. wrap around and twist the ends until tight, use 2 or 3

[@The_O40]

WOW I remember that car passing me in Meridian I was 13 at the time.

[@CrippledMerc]

He's so right about the mosquitos in Arkansas. My mom and I were driving back to Texas from North Carolina and we had to stop and get gas right near the border in Texarkana. We're basically sitting on empty because I've already gone through 1 gas station and decided to try and find another one because the swarm of mosquitos was so bad. So the next one we get to is just as bad but we have to get gas at this point. We're in my 2 month old Ford Flex packed with the 2 of us, 3 full grown German Shepherds and luggage for 4 people. We only opened 1 door twice, which was to get out and pump gas, and to get back in, and somehow the car still got filled with mosquitos. We opened the windows to try to vent them out once we were back on the highway which got most of them out, but a lot of them got pushed to the back of the car. We were slapping mosquitos for hours. We got chewed up, all our dogs got chewed up, and the headliner in my car got covered in squished bugs and blood. It was disgusting.

[@pwrightisright8611]

So many amazing quotes in this video. Good work.

[@mackwalters9363]

Good ole Meridian, Mississippi. My hometown.

SO enjoyed this... a true gifted storyteller!!!!

"10 gas station stops later....." lol

[@califdad4]

My late neighbors owned the local busy funeral home in our town for many years, and she told me that you never wear out a hearse, in the year's past, the frequent body changes on cars made them look old and out of date long before many miles were on the car

[@friedtoast69420]

This guy share some awesome hilarious stories

Seeing Zachary Helm brought a huge smile to my face as both a gearhead and a Denver punk!

Why, oh Lord, why ... am I looking for Cadillac hearses for sale?

[@davenport9807]

Had the same thing happen to me with the wheel studs breaking after I got new tires put on at Sears. Took it back and made them put all new wheel studs all the way around because there's probably more of them that are almost broken off. Trip sounded like fun except for the breakdowns
