This 870 Mile Road Trip Might End With Jail Time For Matt's Off Road Recovery!

[@teresawoodruff1170]

I'm a 64 year old man. And a big fan of FabRats and Matt's off road recovery. Absolutely loved this video. Thank you all so much ❤

[@walterrich9780]

Matt, he's like a regular comedian . I love the little comment about the gas situation that was funny.

[@EvanMoon]

Your videos are great. It’s like “ In the life of the rich and famous but it’s in the life of this guy with a welder”

[@kelvin0mql]

Funny… the preview snip of this comment ended “with a wel…” …and my vile brain completed that as “…well-endowed wife.”

[@timkaldahl]

I would say based on the level of joy I see that they are exceptionally rich. Anyone who can say they have enough is far richer than a billionaire who needs "just a little more" to be happy.

[@i-_-am-_-g1467]

I work at the Pasco airport!! I’m so sad I missed you guys! 😢 really good video by the way!

[@Josh-GT]

870 miles on a new build? Talk about standing by your work! Great job Fab Rats team! ✌

[@BR-ms9lj]

That's the warranty

[@Josh-GT]

@@BR-ms9lj No doubt! 😆

[@kayfelix5054]

What are you amazed about? This is not a self-made device. A car that you put together from known good parts must drive 1000 miles without problems. Or is the standard in the US so low? If the Wrecker can do 1000km offroad without problems or cracks, that would be a sign of excellent work.

[@Josh-GT]

@@kayfelix5054 Is the standard in the US so low??? No. And hey buddy, if you can do better, then post a video on KZbin and I'll watch it and make my own assumptions on your build. Until then, I think you should shut it.. you and your kilometers. Big mouth

[@davidparoz7370]

Michelle can sing. Matt should not give up his day job!

[@richardcarnahan6335]

Hey guys you need a vacuum canister. The old cars never produced enough vacuum continuously. The canister holds the vacuum you need while accelerating. Best of luck with the trip.

[@braxtonnelson7422]

Yep... I was just going to suggest a vacuum canister. In lieu of that, maybe some bailing wire? Fun video!

[@masterbates7016]

You may have just helped me solve my trucks issue.

[@oregonfordguy9812]

also a must for big cam engines too.

[@scottsherman8356]

What I was thinking. Lol

[@paulplant7956]

Heater issue: Vacuum bottle, Or bring the vacuum hose into the car and have the passenger suck on it when you want heat.

[@paulhall170]

As much as I always enjoy your builds, this is your best video since the Firebird episode. It's so generous of you to give away a car into which you've invested so much of your lives; you are wonderful people!

[@Sanderly1820]

This was the best video I've seen, I'm from the UK,and I'd love to vist the states, but it will bever happen I'm terminally sick so this is my road trip, thanks Paul, Matt, Michelle and Jaymie, awesome love prayers wish to all that read this from Truro Cornwall UK

I'll be praying for you Phil.

[@SuperIanjohnson]

Best wishes from from the Isle of Wight. I'm like you; I would love to go to the U.S, but I will never be able to afford it. Good job that we got these daft guys to keep us happy..

[@bradh74]

Michelle is the only one that could sing in my car, without hurting my ears. Nice job Lady. Have fun, be safe and remember friends don't let friends drive Mopars!

[@thereplacementfordisplacement]

Happy for Doug, that was definitely a car guy car. Short of a frame off restoration it will never be something that you hop in an drive all over, it will always need love which is the definition of a car guy. Congratulations Doug!

[@peterirvine5417]

This is one of the best feel good vids this year. (the other one was Rudy surprising Colin with his square body.) All smiles for the whole 3 adventure packed days. So good that a genuine “old car” buff like Doug was the recipient. I really expected Michelle to run up and hug Doug immediately, but I had to wait to almost the end. Great road trip with great friends. Thanks for sharing

[@ae80typed]

Buncha moms & dads acting like teenagers. What's not to love??? This is just pure, basic joy! Watching Matt & Paul being kids again is so wholesome. Glad you're all safe & sound after that HARROWING journey lol! Keep it real & keep 'em coming. Best of wishes to your whole family.

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

As an Aussie watching from my PC at home here in Melbourne, I love this kind of stuff as it shows me more of America and the landscapes and quaint little towns. It seems Doug is a great bloke to win and have the Coronet and I'm sure he will cherish it for many years to come. Well done to you all and this is yet another reason why I love watching your channels.

[@SketchyAsFunk]

Trade me houses for a week. I'm only 6 hours from fab rats lol

[@prussiaaero1802]

Yes indeed, love the tour and the landscapage. (Oi Oi Oi.)

[@steelmill]

Great road trip guys it was cool Matt and Jamie could tag along.Doug and his family seemed like cool owners of the ol Mopar.

[@jeffprice6421]

"The gas gauge doesn't work", ooooh, that's why Matt is there. He is an expert...

[@wb2dx717]

being without any family to celebrate thanksgiving with i want to say thank you to the fabrats clan for sharing your time with this old guy. you are like my adopted family via video, a heartfelt thank you and please keep going as you brighten up people's lives. bless you in all you do

[@Westcoastjazzer]

You are all very special people! It looks like the car is in good hands now and it's probably a forever home too. You made the new owner very happy. It was really cool watching what you did for him.

[@blackbuttecruizr]

What a wonderful thing to do for him! That journey to give it away will be the memory of a lifetime for the 4 of you.

[@robertpage9044]

Australia 🇦🇺 please never lose this mateship, you mob Ozzie,, talk for bunch , could fit straight in Super good family entertainment

[@kenm6948]

Enjoyed traveling with y’all! Happy for Doug winning the Coronet! A couple years after I started driving, the police in Pasadena, CA were driving those. You could hear them coming a mile away when those big four barrels kicked in.

[@ugobug]

awesome trip! I have eaten there at that very Oregon Trail restaurant! it was very good. Bummer it wasn't me you were coming to visit ;) but it couldn't have gone to a greater guy! Loved watching this! Congrats, Doug!

[@frankmeiser8287]

The video was good and funny ,watching to see whatever could happen. The police pull over was good and you caught a break. I am glad to see good friends ,taking a road trip together. Also, the car went to a good man who loves older cars. Thank you for sharing your experience with your viewers.

[@warrendemars]

Congratulations Doug! Wish it was me!! Of course, I'm not sure whether Matt and Jamie would have tagged along since it would have been a 26+ hour road trip! :)

[@reddog543211]

Awsome video you guys....so cool of a segment give-away....Michelle hugging Doug at end was heart felt.....editing done excellent....Matt pulled over ha ha ha ha....thanks for sharing this video with us

[@williamsanders2808]

That first plane is what we call a "Puddle jumper". Love the fact that that car went to a car guy!

[@PaulBarwick]

You four and your families never fail to brighten my day. God bless small town values.

[@2high2flyfpv88]

Small town values? Like pushing scams? The Scotland land title thing is a scam from 2006. The Scottish government has warned people about this for years, yet idiots that are too lazy to do research, fall for it then get others to buy into the scam also. I wouldn't call pushing proven scams, small town values.

[@lbeliel4128]

How cool to have you all in a person’s driveway!

[@Minionmoto529]

In a worl where you could be like anyone, be like fab rats and Matt's off road recovery. True, honest hard working American people who are just all around genuine people.

[@thatottawaguy]

Michelle held this vid together IMO, and her editing it stellar! I love the Fabrats and MORR teams…and since I edit my own videos I know just how much effort Michelle and Tucker (MORR) put into making them and for making sure we get to experience everything with them. Happy Thanksgiving to you guys, though my Canadian Thanksgiving was a few weeks ago, I’m still very thankful for your kind and amazing families…I look forward to these videos every single week!!

[@brettallenthomas]

Ditto.. the unsung heroes of KZbin videos are the editors.. I also edited videos for my wife's Crafting channel and usually spent 3 times the amount of filming time editing... it's one of those jobs that if you do it well, nobody even thinks about it, but if you mess it up, everybody notices... Michelle, you're doing a great job, cuts, audio levels, video balancing etc, all are spot on..

[@JimSealyJr]

I’ve thought many times that if Michelle did a side channel with behind the scenes howtos, it would be a top editing channel.

[@doortech8227]

That was such a fun Ride-a-Long. Thank you, Paul, Michelle, Matt and Jamie, for being awesome people. Doug was a very deserving winner. Fantastic all around!!

[@jeraldhite9744]

This has become one of my favorite channels. Just to watch all of you genuinely enjoy your adventures. All of you enjoy your Thanksgiving!!

[@ronnydowdy7432]

Good give away. Glad the heater was fixed before Doug took the title. At least I think the 65 got a good break in for the engine. Enjoyed the series.

[@chrisrock8710]

File this under E for Excellent and Epic. Can we all give Michelle props and love for her video editing skills while in the air!! Hair is on point even after hours in an airplane too, sheese….. Love y’all

[@mikehuven6600]

I've watched the entire journey of the dodge coronet, it was a great series!! You people are great!!

[@Jon-pt8un]

I had a 1965 coronet with a 318 single throat carb and a factory custom interior with bucket seats, floor console, automatic shifter on the floor. I put 300,00 miles on the first motor before changing it, and had around 200,000 miles on it before the car itself just started falling apart. I loved that car and wish I would have kept it. this was from the mid 70's to early 80's.

[@wilbertnez4577]

It’s good to see you all traveling together. Glad you all had fun. Grueling but fun. Three days is quick

[@jamesennis4446]

Great video guys! Thank you for taking us with you.

[@wildfire925]

Not only doing the give away being super awesome, but someone from a place I grew up around won it. Fun fact, my ex-wife (we're still good friends) is from Baker and is related to half that town. There's a lot of history in that area of Oregon. Great job navigating cabbage hill btw, I love driving that stretch.

[@micahhenry4998]

He is going to enjoy the car u guys are amazing loved watching you rebuild the cornet and giving it away

[@justlooking2222]

From someone born waaaay before this car was built, the humidity being expelled from the occupants is why the inside glass fogs. Cracking open a vent window (hence the name) will keep the inside windows from fogging. In modern cars, the AC also runs in the winter to reduce the humidity and keep the inside windows from fogging.

[@onefootfighter22]

You and Matt have a really great thing going on and I super happy for Doug! I'm sending your tee-shirt's as gifts 🎁 this year, you guys Rock!

[@WildNwhEELING]

I LOVE how @21:29 it says the destination is on your LEFT , and ALL 4 LOOK TO THE RIGHT 👍 💯▶️

[@jameshowey9958]

Awesome video, brought back fond memories for me of my younger days. At 16 road tripped a 72 Chevelle from Texas to Washington state in 1984, burned a quart of oil every 50 miles but made it. In 86 drive my 71 road runner from Washington state to Illinois in January with no heater, fun times like your trip. Than in 89 I did the big Texas to Alaska in December and January in a square body long bed, had a quad, 8 extra tires and 40 extra gallons of fuel in the bed. Rolled the truck in the middle of the night in the Yukon, got it flipped over and continued on my way to have a axle snap 100 miles from Anchorage. When I left Alaska four years later drove from there to Florida than to Az with my new wife and baby and thankfully that trip was uneventful. Keep up the good work, your videos are always entertaining.

My 2001 Ram 1500 had the same issue. There's a $20 vaccuum valve that comes off the side of the carb. Replace that and the door will stay in place. If not everytime you go over 2500 rpm you'll lose the heat.

[@fritzie1968]

You people are good folks . I hope. That someday I can meet all of you. I am only 65 years old , but I remember my 69 dodge coronet RT. It had the 3 big taillights in the back. I wish I still owned it. I was only 17 when I bought it . I surely do miss it. You people make me happy when I watch your videos.....thank you. ✌

My mom custom ordered her 1964 Pontiac LeMans. She specifically didn't want an 8 cyl so she ordered the inline 6. She wanted a "4 on the floor" so she got that. Not a common choice with the 6cyl. She wanted seat belts so she added that to her custom order! Miss that car so much!

Maybe next time I might get lucky and win something cool!!! Heck I’d just love to see you guys make it closer to the middle of the the country like Iowa or even farther east!!!
