Very cool. I'd love to have my car inserted into the ad like his was then blown up in size. Nice touch :thumbsup:

I watched him once on TV driving his Stanley Steemer. It's one of his favorites.
What a trip it is to get it ready to go. All these knobs,gadgets and guages turning on and off before you could drive it.

But I'd still take the Challenger over it.

I remember him talking about that on his show.  He was joking in the manual that it said:

"If car starts on fire, drive faster to extinguish flames."

Which begs the question, what might Garth brooks have in his own garage? ::)

If you go to spring fling, he usually drives something to the show. He drove the steemer one year, through the swap meet. The pilot light went out on it, I have a picture of him laying under it relighting the pilot. I'll have to see if I can find it.....
