Kansas Route 66! I found the original MATER Truck!

[@ladyofsteele0511]

Can I seriously just say thank you for this? I've had Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 7 but went through a decently long remission in my teens and I LOVED road trips. Being a California girl made it even easier to love Route 66. It's kind of weird how I found you because I missed working for Disney and all the magic I found there, but now you've taken me down a road I literally drove down before and cannot even attempt at the moment due to health restraints. Justin, one day people will see the absolute heart in these videos and you'll be repaid for all this incredible effort. But until that happens please know the work you are doing for some of us is priceless.

I'm enjoying it for a similar reason... I have an autoimmune illness and I absolutely love travelling across the deserts of Australia and through small strange towns, but at the moment it is just not possible. This is really filling that void! On top of that it's just quality information he's passing on... he's not just doing it for the sake of it, he's doing it because he's so deeply interested in the locations and their stories.

[@yarrakhavuc]

you're comment is priceless, il bet you a angel irl love from europe ( visiting california , route 66) in the summer tho !

[@ChuckEllis]

This road trip is seriously inspiring me to take my 1964 Valiant down Route 66 when I'm done restoring it this year. Thanks for making this awesome series. Now I know all the awesome places to visit.

[@debramorris4290]

Thanks for covering my neck of the woods.

[@628DirtRooster]

Looks like such a fun historic tour to take.

[@5150pistolpete]

I first came across your videos searching for Route 66 documentaries. Wasn't even sure if it still existed. Originally from Australia it's stuff like you show that was the huge inspiration for my passion with America. I now live over here and am yet to travel outside of the Pacific Northwest. But let me tell you...your journey really makes me anxious to take some time off and travel. Thanks for all you do Justin! Safe and fun travels!

[@shannonkahermanes6080]

Love Pixar! So cool seeing where some Pixar History was inspired!

[@jodyb55]

I lived not far from there in Joplin for a few months. My good friend and were sick of sitting in the house during one winter day and decided to drive a little west on Route 66. Really cool to see some of those places in this video that we went through!

[@ferg1680]

You just crack me up Justin!!! You are the only Vlogger I follow that makes me laugh out loud !! That broom guitar just cracked me up, Your mind is a terrible thing to waste !!! Keep doing what you're doing, Bro. Thanks again for the laughs..

[@TampaJay]

Really cool road fact!

[@TishRigo74]

Thank you for another awesome video Justin!

[@jay5729]

Glad to see you're ok Justin.

[@BreeandBaby]

So cool to see the inspiration for Mater! 😍

[@j.donaldson2758]

Justin is having a bit of a flashback to a previous life in the stinger. It happens to the best of us.

[@Yey1nasJourneys]

I don't know why you aren't getting more views- I am loving this series! Keep it going on! Keep encouraged- it's awesome!

[@racheldelgado9216]

Loving tagging along Route 66 with you. Started following Oscar after seeing him travel with you.

[@Inferalanding]

Congratulations on getting the pronunciation of Miami correct. Looking forward to the next installment. All the best and happy travels.

[@Elemiriel]

This is marvelous! Super grateful to you Justin! You and Tow-mater look like you could be good buddies! ^_^

[@Songbird514]

Loved this! This series is awesome, thanks so much Justin!

[@airmail793]

I was beginning to think that some country sheriff had you locked up in his jail. :) Fun video. Welcome to Missouri!

[@kamsavart]

I've been on Route 66 one time back in 2012 travelling on highway 40 from California to Tennessee. My favorite part of the trip was New Mexico. Both that state and Route 66 inspired me to write my second book. Very memorable experience.

[@teenagefirework1]

What a fantastic video, literally so much fun watching you.

[@DavidSanders-mj5rr]

Nice details today!

[@RhettyforHistory]

So a couple things in commerce you skipped around Mickey Mantle. Just behind you on the otherwise of his statue sits some toxic water. In fact it's super toxic! It comes from the Picher-Cardin mine area. You can literally see it from the statue. It comes out from underneath the school area. The garage/barn where you were at is where Mickey Mantle was taught to be one of the best switch hitters ever! His father and grandfather would throw to him and he would have to try and hit it over the barn. There are a lot of abandoned buildings in such in that area. Route 66 runs right along that toxic area but it's sort of been suppressed. I would say the majority of people that drive on route 66 there have no idea they are driving over the most toxic water in the U.S. Sounds crazy but it's true!

[@rosshayes4628]

Loving these videos! I'm off to America (I'm from the UK) to work in two weeks time, and your videos are getting me pumped! Thanks for the great content :)

[@johnsonfamilyvidsvlogs3745]

You've inspired me Justin. I've lived not far from these areas for years. I need to check them out.

[@markonthemove79]

whats up Justin? You and Adam are the reason I started a daily vlog Thank you

[@JeromeAz57]

Galena, Kansas. Galena is what they get lead from. Must by why they named the town, Galena.

[@scotleahotrods4351]

The Tow Mater replica in Kansas was built by Scotlea Hot Rods - their first attempt at Tow Mater. The latest can be seen on the Scotlea Hot Rods KZbin channel.

[@LEAMUIRLEYN]

I'm eating some cookies that have the states on them, and I so happened to bite into the cookie that has Oklahoma on it as soon as you said it. 👌

[@LizzieQueen18]

Yay Missouri! I've lived here my whole life :)

[@sierravegawarholy3504]

I love the subtle office references, Justin :)

[@Haleyangelo]

OH MY GOSHHH!!!! I'm literally screaming I'm so excited!!! You came through my home town!(baxter springs!!!) No one I know visits here so it's awesome!!! My dads shop is right next to the visitor center!!! There is also a place that sells old fashioned sodas and ice cream called monarch pharmacy in town! It's really cool! I love seeing your videos Justin! I've been watching you for about 3 years now and I'm so excited I'll be in dinseyland in July! :) maybe I'll get to see you!(also sorry for posting on Instagram too about this xD I'm just so happy!)

[@guapoberry]

Whoa, what an ending!

[@kolbygarrison6550]

[@johnniebgoode]

Well, I appreciate the Route 66 videos.

[@lisaa5192]

LOL Justin you are the greatest 😀

[@JenniEspi98]

You should visit Seligman, AZ. It's on Route 66 and they have replicas of the cars from cars

[@Cutelatinguy2]

FINALLY!! I was waiting all weekend for an update!

[@Matyme]

I just found your channel 2 days ago while my husband and I watched Disney vlogs. It was the one where hurricane Matthew was about to hit Disney World. I wanted to watch your other video you did about the aftermath of the storm but it was too late so I had to just do it another day. Today I thought I'd look for that video so I go to your channel and click on your videos and see you are in Kansas. I got curious because I know Kansas doesn't have much of route 66. I'm going to make this short. I live in Miami, OK. lol So it was extremely weird to see somebody that goes to Disney alot come by this small town. My husband and I go to Disney once a year and we are always watching Disney Vlogs. I just got to say you are seriously hilarious. You got a new sub not because you came by this small town but because of that ending. LOL Also I learned alot. I didn't know all this stuff was so near by where I live. I'm originally from the 909 area in California and it was cool to see you are from Anaheim. Anyways going to go watch all your videos now lol.

[@vickiechandler3112]

LOL...i was just telling my teen daughter about a trip i took to the Hoover Dam and jumping back and forth between states and time zones there....look it's 1 o clock, look its 2 o clock..1 o clock again...LOL I cracked up when you did it with the state line. You need to make a side trip to the spot where all 3 states meet (OK, MO, KS ) it is near the Downstream casino and is one of our stops west for our trip next year and we will be hitting Galena and friends up on the way back.

[@rebeccacurtis8886]

Welcome to Missouri hope you come to Springfield so I can meet you well have fun and save travels :P :D

[@fromthewoodshed]

Short but still fun, with only 14 Route 66's

[@raquelwatson9541]

Boy oh boy!! Your crazy. Lol. Anyway you made me laugh so hard and thank you for making my day. Hope to see ya in Chicago!

[@davidray3133]

I'll be in Chicago tomorrow to see my three-week old baby nephew!!!!!!

[@jimmyggh1]

Awesome!

[@AmusementLabs]

Hello, good vid Justin. :)

[@DannyD714]

wow,you had some real rock star moves with that broom. ever think of starting a band?

[@Olivia-sk5ws]

You make me want to go visit route 66

[@kansasgirl73]

Not on Route 66 but you should have come north to Fort Scott. We have a National Cemetery dating back to Civil War days and a historic Military Fort used during the Civil War.

[@LivelaVidaCrueltyFree]

Loved this !!!!! Tow tater

[@wyattpentz9710]

You should stop in carthage! It's a cool town.

[@mebluewater]

what was in that place were the Truck that inspired TOW MATER was. I see tables out front, can you eat there

[@garfixit]

Love it

[@sarahscchumacher7692]

Your really funny.thank you for your channel

[@slavkoziga9713]

Pretty good

[@okiecubsfan1961]

The ice cream is good from the dairy king in commerce. I lived in Miami for 9 years. Kukus was a big deal and had good hamburgers.

[@mysticblue3387]

Just looked up the real Mator tow truck and wasn’t disappointed

[@Mechtrekica]

Abandoned road = No one around as you dance like crazy on it!!!!

[@kansasgirl73]

Looks like you almost got to see a Kansas storm. 🌪🌪🌪🌪😅

[@haileyrae3426]

the state line part really made me laugh lol

[@thomassanders2074]

4:25 GREAT SCOTT!!!!

[@kansasgirl73]

The Bordello building is supposed to be haunted. And fun fact the tree carvings with the crows was done by a guy I went to highschool with. He did that with a chainsaw! He has a Facebook page called Carving for Christ. Check him out he is amazing at what he does!

[@joshandrylan2220]

I ❤️BACK TO THE FUTURE!

[@tangleduniverse5042]

he said I love you all !!! :D yaaaaay!!!

[@ChristopherCollinsworth]

Dude....lol you need to get back to Baxter Springs. Things are happening here. About 75 percent of downtown has been bough and the other 25 seems to be being bought. It looks a lot different right now. Still working on it but wont be to much longer it will be done. Also Commerce might be where Mickey was born. But Baxter is where he got his baseball start playing for a semi pro team call the Baxter Wizkids. But for real you need to get back here soon. If you do I will be happy to pay your dinner any where. But you would really like Cafe on the Route. Also Towmater needs to be moved to Baxter since Radiator Springs was a reflection of Baxter Springs in the movie. Good video though.

[@jdnrotterdam2150]

Long wait for a short vlog

[@joeysimmons4716]

was so close to my hometown in kansas only about 30 mins

Shame that the sidewalk highway was much more visible until just a couple of years ago. The gravel has ruined what was left.
