Thanks so much for coming along for the ride with me @suewieczorek7414 !!

Thanks @UkuleleBetty!! The 55 is a running machine!! We had an incident in AZ but it's all taken care of so stay tuned. The Blue Swallow is one of my favorites and the new owners really take pride in keeping it up!!

The Blue Swallow is amazing @johnserou6466 and the new owners take pride in maintaining it to the fullest. All the neon is lit at night - it's awesome!! Happy new year to you too - Thank you!!

Thanks for coming along for the ride with me @papatangoable !!

Thanks for coming along for the ride with me @kileyklonowski4173 !! New Mexico Route 66 is pretty awesome right?!?

Thanks so much @rolandsorensen9628 !! The Blue Swallow is awesome right?!? I love that place!! Happy New Year to you & yours!!

I'd still be stuck out there if I drove it after 3-days of rain @roycroftmichael9374 !! Got any pictures??

Thanks so much @justpassinthruonR66 !! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I can't believe we're almost halfway thru!! How awesome is it that you got the stay there while Lillian was still around?!? And she remembered you!! I've been the host of the Hot Rod Power Tour since 2015 - it would be awesome for you to come out and cruise with us this year. Thanks again Paul - I'm looking forward to seeing you out on the road again!!

Jeff...I would love to cruise with you this year but due to 2 replaced hips 6 &7 years ago, I sold all my collector cars due to difficulty with the clutch and getting in/out. However, I still have a '07 Mustang GT convertible, mint and automatic of course. I would love to bring some of my old Hot Rod decals and stuff I've collected over the years. I could also show you photos of our old '55 150 wagon that Dad bought new (with 265, and 3spd columnm shift). I'm sure Hot Rod magazine has all my old entries, mostly I used a blue '69 Caprice, then a '77 white Grande Lemans, a red '63 Corvette Roadster, and finally a '61 blue Corvette that I bought out in Coos-Bay, Oregon and jioned the Tour in Little Rock, Arkansas, finishing in Madison, WI and driving it home across the border to Oshawa, ON. Canada. I am open to joining the '24 Hot Rod Magazine Pwr tour just because of our connection...I've written you previously. Treasure your Father...I loved the vids when you included him. I lost my Dad 3 yrs ago, but, he did 'good'... he made it to 91, still lived in his own home up until a month before going into hospital AND was still driving! I'm still at the address I was at when I did all those Pwr Tours. I'm also in contact with a few of my old Pwr tour buddies and would love to see them again. Paul.

Very cool@@justpassinthruonR66 you had quite the collection of hot rods!! I hope you can make it for this years Hot Rod Power Tour. My Pop & I are planning to drive up to Montana to visit the Charlie Russell museum. So I'm hoping for good weather

You're welcome @garygentzel7924 !! Thank YOU for coming along for the ride with me again!! It's pretty amazing out there in the middle of nowhere right?!?

Thanks @keeb381 I think so too!! And when I look thru my window I've got the best view in the house right?!?

Yes Sir!@@jeffthisted

Thanks@@keeb381 !! Route 66 New Mexico Part-2 drops on Sunday so stay tuned!!

It really is right @cavemangarage ?!? And the new owners really take pride in keeping it up to standards!!

@@jeffthisted thats awesome to see..love the entire video series

Thank you so much@@cavemangarage !! I really appreciate it!! We're almost halfway through the series.

Thanks for the comment @meandean222 Are you a fan of Rawhide?

Is that a movie of the week @michaelgorman4229 ???

History Channel some years ago

The old first section of Route 66 in New Mexico was on the History Channel@@michaelgorman4229 ? I just saw Two Guns on "Mysteries of the Abandoned" a few months ago but I've never seen this...

The Paradise Motel has definitely seen better days right @garygentzel7924 ?!? And that Shell station looks pretty new too!!

You're welcome @jmark7390 !! I dont remember that, but my Route 66 Arizona videos are coming up in a few weeks so I'll be sure to watch for an abandoned motel with some Datsun's in the parking lot.

@@jeffthisted I will watch too.

Thank you for your support@@jmark7390

Which motel / cafe are you referring to @garygentzel7924 ??

@@jeffthisted I found the trading post in Glenrio - wish I’d taken that exit & ran 66 more But didn’t really have the time

Did you stop in Glenrio@@garygentzel7924 ?? It’s pretty awesome. But there’s now a modern dispensary there…

@@jeffthisted no - went by it on 40 just wish I’d had more time during my travels to Albuquerque & back

Next time plan ahead @@garygentzel7924 Glenrio is pretty cool!!

Thanks for the correction @meandean222 other than that what’d you think of the video??

@@jeffthistedI'm sorry, I should have led with that! Excellent video! I like your work and I Subscribed. I would recommend NM 104 from Tucumcari to Las Vegas, NM. and I-25 Scenery!

Thank you@@meandean222 It's been on my list for awhile... Now it's a priority.

Ok @kttexas34 you do that and let me know how it goes. Safe travels to you

@jeffthisted Tucumcari. most folks pronounce it Tucumcari. ' like Carry" lol love this NM VIDEO! U DID Amazing on this Jeff!!👍👍😎

Thank you so much Kitty@@kttexas34 I really appreciate it!!

It really is a sad commentary right @milojanis4901 ?!? Yeah it’s been closed since last April or May I think because of the washout.

Sorry @kttexas34 I dont understand your comment. Please explain

You should know that the ladies will always slow you down @macpontiac6465 !! Thanks for watching & sharing & coming along for the ride with me!!

Thanks for all the emojis Mike. Happy new year!!

Thanks @garygentzel7924 I'm glad I could bring back some good memories for you!!

@@jeffthisted sure did - I loved that trip The S/W part of our country especially

Gotta love the southwest right@@garygentzel7924 ?!? Right now I'm getting organized for The Lincoln Highway next year.

@@jeffthisted I really did - was out there to philmont scout ranch in ‘72 and was pretty awed by the scenery then too
