    On a serious note this was truly an epic adventure and I couldn't have done it without you! I've never met anyone who's down do dig up a sewer pipe, or drive a flood car across the country. I really appreciate you man. Thank you.

    I was reminded of John Candy and Steve Martin driving their burned out rental while I watched you drive the Cadillac with inoperable windows. It may take you a few days to thaw out!

    Not an AT trans expert but i think the water was turning to steam and making the pump cavitate due to lack of viscosity. Great adventure and keep em coming!

    The Allante is still one of the most gorgeous cars ever made if you ask me. They could reintroduce it tomorrow and it would still look fresh and modern!

    That was one heck of a road trip. Randy should be so lucky to have such a nice friend. He is a cool guy of course. Keep up the good work man.

  • @mg8919
    @mg8919 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Awesome adventure. You guys make a good team. It would really suck driving all that way with windows down. Not only the temperature and rain , but the constant road noise would drive me crazy. Thank guys for the entertainment!

    Monkey wrench mike. By far my favorite car TH-cam. Down to earth and fun.

  • @matthewhill5130
    @matthewhill5130 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Because of the water still mixed with the transmission fluid and the high speeds the transmission heated up and boiled the water which caused the overflow out of the transmission fill tube and the transmission quit working. Then when the car cooled down the transmission started working again. Keeping your speed down kept the transmission from overheating.

    You guys are more hearty than I am! I would have either pulled the door panels off and manually moved the glass into position or have made a detour to the local home depot to buy some plexiglass and duct tape to "make" me some windows. I'd also be investing in one of those cigarette lighter powered heaters! You're a good friend Mike! Karma will pay you back in the long run! Thanks for the entertainment!

  • @paul9874
    @paul9874 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Why didn't you go to a Jiffy Lube in Tampa and have the transmission oil and filter changed before you drove home? Cheap dollars vs unknown damage dollars.

    • @RustyZipper
      @RustyZipper 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No hate, They changed them both at Big Al’s before leaving. It’s not in this video obviously, it was earlier in one of Randy’s videos. I probably would have done another flush after it overheated but irregardless, they made it home!

    Props goes out Mike, Randy, Big AL & Samcrac 👏👏👏👏🎬 for these awesome vids 👍× 4 #. Hopefully you don't get that nasty covid witch I'm going threw myself 😔. I must say Mike, you & Randy has one heck of a poker face, because you don't look worried hitting the interstate with a hurricane 🌀Cadillac & a Vett that's been Rhode hard & put away wet lol. Awesome looking rides from my end 🚘🔥🔥💯. Salute guys 😎

    @darylkik777 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Mike, When I saw you in that hat and convertible all that comes to mind is, "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". When they get pulled over near the end by the cop, Neil (Steve Martin) was dressed a bit like you. (They could not put the top on their car.) They had a small fire. Ok, back to your video and see if you guys can make it. Cheers, from Wichita.

    Another great road trip! Wish you guys spent more time in Tampa, you were just down the road from me at the AC hotel. If you guys had a power probe, the windows might go up if you pop out the window switch, and send power directly to the motor. Not sure if you guys tried that, but it was painful to watch you freezing and wet .

    My husband is vaccinated but he got Covid. But thankfully all he really got was one heck of a cough. And I thought I got it cause I am just getting over being sick but I just had a sinus drain thing. Which sounds like what you might have. My mom suggested some nasel spray which helped. So that might be something to look into Mike.

    Great video Mike. Did you guys take the door panels off and try to bypass the switch to make the windows go up? Also you could have went to a Tractor Supply or Harbor Freight and gotten a 12 volt heater. Great job getting them both home.
