18:35 …. Seeing Ed giving the _Golden Nugget_ the beans was all I needed to see to make me smile from ear to ear! 😁

I knew someone else would say it so heres my endorsement.

Tom : 'It's no licensed' Ed : FUUUULLLLL POWWWWEEERRR !

You did great Matt. Can’t wait to see ya there again. Get Cleetus out for some rock crawling in Sand Hollow sometime.

[@3.0colorado21]

Cleetus off asphalt never goes well lol

[@Springfield-eo8jl]

Cleetus has a monster of a sand rail he can bring as well.

[@Brycenwhorton]

That would be awesome!!

[@cinnamonrollypoly]

knowing Cleetus, he'd probably dominate riiiiight up until he makes a mistake right near the end, and then end up losing it all, lol.

So glad Jake was able to make the trip, he adds so much to the channel. Great job on the nugget Tom and Katyln!

[@MarkJacksonGaming]

-- Agreed, need to see more of him. Sorta of the same with Robby Layton: I'd like to see more of Cody.

What you guys did for ed was/is super nice. I could only dream of having friends willing to put in an afternoon of work let alone rebuilding one of my cars for me. Much respect for the Matt’s family!

It was so fun riding with Ed in the Golden Nugget! I hope he starts driving it every day.

[@patrickbalogh2999]

I'll bet that chunk of Golden Nugget that TomTom just cut out would go for a good amount of money. Maybe a little auction on the channel here with the money going to the All Abilities Park.

[@offroad6309]

I was expecting him to flip it around and upside down then reusing, it instead of cutting a new piece. Good to see the seat in a better spot for Ed. To bad it wasn't done at the beginning when they knew it would be a problem. Drive the wheels off it Ed!!!!

That was a very respectable showing Matt. I'm glad you had the opportunity. I hope Ed gets to drive the Golden Nugget more often. They are both precious to us.

Hello there Ed! Man, its good to see you again for more than just a glimpse here and there. I hope that seat makes your Nugget much more enjoyable to drive. Matt, you did pretty well for your first time out there, even with the big boys. Yes, next year! Thanks for the video, all of you.

The Golden Nugget is what started it all for me!!!

First off, that was a fun video. Watching Miss Kaitlyn (sorry, I keep misspelling your name), I think Miss K is amazing. She is an important part of the team. Much like Lizzy, Miss K, you are and will be an inspiration to the younger girls watching you. Great video.

Man Tom Tom you did a wonderful thing. So good to see Edd smile.

I found MORR after I found VGG, and that was after I found Cleeter. I've sat here and wished and hoped they would ALL find each other. This event brought that hope to reality!

[@MaverickGrabber71]

"Lower 48" on the door! 🤣 Perfect 💯

[@justincase8239]

Y'all and Cleeter are two of my favorite KZbin channels, because you are all quality human beings, above all else. That being said, I also have to say, I hope you left a big MORR-yellow stripe down ol' Cleeter's freshly painted wall.

This is a crazy event, and you took a wall strike like a boss without making a problem. If you hadn't gotten snarled earlier, you'd have been fine. No concerns. Do it again, this is like the ideal mix between chaos, level-set and freedom.

Nice driving and nice job on the seat move! Too cool getting Ed behind the wheel. All of that fixin' was for Ed to drive, not to sit on the SEMA floor. 🙂
