so i got a lead on a 1963 volkswagen
carmandia this was my dream car growing
up
i always wanted to buy one and have it
restored but the car is all the way in
arizona so what better way to get there
than
route 66 one of the most famous highways
in america
all right he's here let's do this so
i've recruited cory and chum to come
with me to have a weekend road trip
it's gonna be a blast what's in the box
i didn't have a suitcase
route 66 roadside diners
there's got to be some cool stuff on the
way i got the whole rv
packed full of stuff we're going to buy
stuff and
just going to have a fun weekend yeah
let's go all right shotgun
route 66 can i get a horn
how far does route 66 go rig well
originally
route 66 went all the way from chicago
to california
it was basically a highway they built so
you get across the country
easily they used to take horse and
carriage on it no
because it's a highway it was built for
cars rick i want to make a stop up here
in a few miles
i got an amazing lead on a roping
machine we're gonna go check that out
and try to buy that
okay it's a roping machine yes like you
know
to practice roping as a cowboy
which you're not a cowboy well i was
born to be
okay the whole trip is based on my
carbon gear
but we can stop anywhere you guys want
to stop as long as we get back to work
on monday
and have a good time and no one's going
to fight
all right sounds fun and i'm cooking
well we might be fighting them
[Music]
here it is i hope you guys are ready to
get your cowboy on
so this is what you're talking about
shop yep you must be kimmy i am
there it is rick okay that is different
yes come on i'll show you okay
everything i've read about rodeos borla
says was originally just some guys
sitting around a corral somewhere and
said
i could do that i have two roping
mechanical steers they're to practice
roping the short one that one is just
roped off the ground
and any age can rope it the big one is
better to be roped off of a horse i
would like to get four thousand dollars
for sparky
and eight hundred dollars for shorty
that looks impressive this is shorty
okay
he's a roping steer he mostly works on
concrete or something solid because he
just spins these wheels in the dirt
and sparky three there
sparky three he's also mechanical
runs off of a remote you rope the head
you turn him off
and the healer comes around and ropes
the feet and you can do practice runs on
him
a lot of the pro ropers have live cattle
but they also learn and train their
horses with mechanical
okay so can we see this thing work you
absolutely can
see it's 600 pounds but if i can move it
anybody can
so now you just uh press the button and
it goes yup absolutely
you ready i'm all ready all right
[Music]
i told you it was cool rick i knew you'd
love these
all right i'm impressed it's pretty cool
and so this thing is sort of like the
same thing it is
it's a lot of fun for kids learning
position when you're roping
so when a kid comes out or an adult
whichever because it's fun for all
[Applause]
that's horns and that's what you want to
catch this is definitely cool
so how much do you want for these for
the big one 4 000
and for the little one 800. okay i got
to say the big one pops
that's a little much fun um this one
right here is pretty cool though
what do you think no i think it's great
you know because believe it or not there
are a lot of people in vegas with horses
i'm one of them i'll give you 400 bucks
for shorty
just so i can play with it maybe resell
it
oh i got a trailer right there 400 huh
400 bucks i think it's a deal and i
might have a grandkid that could play
with it so
okay 400 bucks we got a deal yep all
right thanks
you're amazing i'll get you paid you
guys loaded up
all right rick roped me in to selling
a little shorty for 400 so that's just
gonna have to do
