the 2011 babe rally that ran from New
0:08
York or the Big Apple to New Orleans The
0:11
Big Easy hence bab babe it was over 1500
0:16
miles and uh these two guys Matt and
0:20
Brian who called themselves Crash and
0:22
Burn every year rescued a car for each
0:25
of these rallies and gave it away to a
0:27
family need at the end of the rally and
0:29
the first first car was a Plymouth
0:31
Sundance and this time it's this 1973
0:35
Plymouth Valiant so here you see one of
0:37
them with the organizer I don't remember
0:40

0:43

0:46
got a lot more attention than the
0:48
Sundance the year
0:53
before the picture he wants to take a
0:56
picture guys get any additional pressure
1:00
so you're not going to get the hang on

got move away from they are working out
1:04
their differences on the question this
1:06
what we call
1:11
[Music]
1:14

1:17
whether they would replace a broken
1:18
windshield washer nozzle with a coffee
1:24
straw no this is how we resolve
1:28
conflicts usually without brok broken
1:30
bones Yeah well yeah I
1:32
said last year no it didn't break too
1:35
much hit him in the
1:38
head all right if you're so convinced
1:40
you can generate pressure with the same
1:42
aperture please go right
1:46
ahead my modification is to use the
1:48
smaller one fitting into that
1:55

go yeah yeah so this car cost him $300
3:48
and it wasn't running then because the
3:50
previous owner had made some shade tree
3:52
mechanic
3:53
errors uh there was uh an issue with the
3:56
way that they rered the heater hoses
3:58
which caused a head gasket fail near

Chattanooga team misfit toys racing got
4:03
a new head gasket from a shop 55 miles
4:06
away and uh various teams put it
4:08
together overnight in the hotel parking
