You’re literally preserving history, Jacob. Not to mention so many of us get to live vicariously through you and your journeys. Thanks man! ❤
exactly how is he preserving history when all he is doing is documenting history other people preserved also he isn’t the first to document any of this
I would love to see a Buc-ee's review soon! Gas stations are very fun and unique from state to state! Can't wait for more Jacob!
The cars at 14:10 are actually Corvettes people have ordered to be delivered and picked up at the museum. The Museum works quite regularly with the GM plant for stuff like that. And they even let you watch your vette be built on the assembly line
That is fantastic!! By the way i love your name. I don't know how old u r but it us very nostalgic for me.
You're right about the shirts. I always feel like I have a wet spot in the shape of the design when I wear one. Especially in the summer.
I really think they need to keep these old timey roadside attractions and shops hotels etc keep our history alive !!!
I love that you have been to this fun town mountain for so many years. You are like it's historian. You are the one showing people it's still around.
Had to end the video once you were eating. Not you it's me. I have noise problems.
@gumbofumbo9283 oh! Omg me too!
What is it called? 🤔 anti-asmr? Lol! It makes my skin crawl. It is everywhere these days 😪 even in my meditation feeds! I really can't take it 😩 help? I'm thinking of seeing a therapist about it bc it's so bad. But, they have other people who need more help right now. Not enough therapists to go around. Anything you can suggest would be appreciated. Have a wonderful day 😊 thanx for sharing 😊
@@nobleharvey9935 i have problems with loud noises and crowds. I have also worked in the medical profession. I can tell you. That yes there are alot of people who need therapist now. There always will be. So don't
@@nobleharvey9935 sorry hit the wrong button. Anyway don't continue to suffer. Get the help you need. If you don't have the money for therapy, check with the health department in your area are your doctors office to see if they can help you find help to get one. Also check online. Good luck. I hope you get the help you need.
Used to be all drug sl
Epic Trip!
"Swallowed eight incredibly expensive, rare cars, so the rarest corvettes in the world, (Sinkhole hand gesture*) swallowed them into the sinkhole"
Thank you Jacob! I am not a huge fan of cars either, BUT LOVE THAT MUSEUM. I love all things Kentucky!
The guy holding the camshaft is the late Zora Duntoff, who virtually saved the Corvette from distinction by being the first to give it a V8 and pursue racing it. For years, he fought for a mid-engine Corvette, which just recently happened with the C8, starting with the 2020 model year. Zora’s ashes are enshrined at the Museum.
Did you mean extinction?
And the mid-engine C8 is the kiss of death for the Corvette.
@@allensherrill850 yes, typo, sorry.
You’re in my home state! I remember waking up to the news that the cave that’s under the whole state of Kentucky swallowed up the some of the Corvettes like they were Hot Wheels 😂 my best friend and sister both at the time only lived 2 minutes from the museum. Went there in early 2000s for a field trip.
Once again you have shown me things in my state that I didn't know existed. Thanks Jacob!
You didn't know your state existed?
Went to the Corvette Museum in August 3, 2021 on the way the Nashville. Also bought a DVD about the sink hole. When we were there they had people there to pick up corvettes that they had won. It was amazing to go to this place.
This was a very fun video!! I hope you enjoy your time here in Nashville!!
Wow having those corvettes fall in a sink hole 🕳️ my neurodivergent mind would be praying 🙏🏼 and thinking about a sinkhole the whole time I was in there 🤣
When you think you are having a bad day at work, remember, at least you are not a turd clown! Great video, Jacob!
17:23 - that was a significant scene. You walked right by. That wasn't a couple of Corvettes - it was a Corvette, and it's main competition at the time - The Ford Thunderbird in red. Really cool of Chevrolet to have one in the museum.
I also love those Oh Snap pickled vegetables but I was blown away by the amount of sodium in them, even for pickles, it's an unholy amount of sodium. Great video as always Jacob!
You find the coolest things and places another awesome day ☺️😘☺️ had a good time today thanks for letting us travel with you 🙏 ❤️ see you tomorrow 💐💐💐💐
Now that was fascinating. Sink holes really scare me.
Our California earthquakes will shake you up too! 😅
Thanks for your videos mate found you by accident while not working over here in England helps my mental health a lot 👍
I don't know who's a better tour guide, Jacob or author Bill Bryson. Both are brilliant and very funny. Glad to have you aboard!!
@Mary Blaufuss don't know bill bryson I keep spotting the sports stadiums as that's all I watch in England 😆
Hi Jacob, just wanted to share our Corvette museum story with you. We made plans to go visit the museum right after the cave in happened. We could not cancel our trip was too close to reservation, so we said we would go anyway, and we could find something else to visit. To our surprise the museum was open, but they had the hole roped off, and we actually saw it better on the news, but really made it interesting to be there, so all in all we had a great time. By the way the first Corvette was made in 1953, and the first Ford Thunderbird was made about a year later. A close friend of mine used to own a Thunderbird, and used to go on road trips in it there were three or four of us who would go. It had the beeper noise that would keep beeping when you got low on gas. He used to stop and get two or three dollars wort, and we would get maybe five miles and beeper would be going off again. We never had video phons or cameras durning the time period, but we did roadside attractions before they were a TH-cam item. Thanks for reminding of two wonderful memories with one video. Love your videos, we never miss any of them. Dianne and.Bob
What a great story of good times!
Great idea with the gas station meal selection.😊
I love the Corvette. I'm from Michigan and I had an uncle who used to work as an Engineer for GM at the GM Tech Center in Warren, Michigan. He would get cars periodically from GM, he actually got a Corvette one year.
My now deceased fiances dad worked for GM in Michigan...he was tragicly killed at the plant he worked at by a malfunctioning robot!
@@nosolar2023 wow sorry to hear that
Jacob if you haven't been there before you need to check out the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville. Also Antique Archaeology (American Pickers) has a store there as well. Thanks!
Love the Corvette museum. Cool cars!!!
thank you for making and uploading these for us, we appreciate and love it so much
Welcome to my state, Jacob! Glad you’re here, enjoy your stay! :)
Seriously Jacob you just scared the hell out of me with that thumb nail ! I see you in a photo with a wrecked car and a title that begins with The Massive Sinkhole ( I stopped reading title). Immediately I thought ANOTHER ACCIDENT! Well I am glad to see you are ok, gosh this has to be some curse.
That was the first time (and hopefully the last time) I’ve heard the term “turd clown”. :-)
I went to the museum as well and I figured they would’ve done something more with the sinkhole cars
One other Kentucky soft drink you should try , is Ski. It’s popular around Campbellsville and Columbia and it was mentioned in the song “Doumas Walker” by the Kentucky Headhunters .
SKI IS really good and ale 8 of course
Loved seeing a bit of Bardstown and Bloomfield KY in this video! These are the towns my parents grew up in . . spent a lot of time around that area, even though we live down in SC. Seeing the one corvette that had been down in the sink hole was really cool - gotta get to that museum some time. Thanks! Love your videos! -Zach
Next time you are in California you need to head to head to Newport Beach (just south of Los Angeles) to see the unique henge that they have there... It's not stonehenge, it'e not carhenge, nor RVhendge or tractorhedge, its BUNNYHENGE!
This was such a great Video!!
Filled with fun things to see!
Love the fork in the road!
Thank you for filming your wonderful adventures!
Great places. Yes, I only know of one Mobile gas station that has a garage and a full-time mechanic, by USC in Los Angeles, which I use often because the mechanic is great. Most gas stations now, other than this one that I know of, no longer have a garage with repair and service. Thank you for sharing. Keep safe!
Love you Jacob!!! Love the flying j gas stations! Thank you for doing ROSEBUD at the end 💜👍
Omgosh, I love the KY magnet of a mullet and sunglasses, best thing ever 😄
My family lives in Winchester, the home of Ale 8 one. First tip....ALWAYS get the glass bottle. It is so much better. It is ginger ale with caffeine. In Kentucky, they just leave off the 1 and call it Ale 8. Best paired with Grippo's BBQ chips.
Safe travels!!!
I love the addition of gas station cuisine! Sheetz all the way if you are traveling in regions that have them!
That line of partly buried tractors is the Deere John Project, with the tractors arranged by age (not size). Inspired by the Cadillac Ranch, it was designed by Linda Bruckheimer, wife of Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and is a tribute to the region's history of farming. Although the Bruckheimers live in Los Angeles, Linda Bruckheimer is originally from Kentucky, and I am told she has become quite a booster of Bloomfield, where this installation is located.
Enjoyed the Corvette museum, Thanks Jacob.
The cheesy pepper jack taquito on QTs roller grill is particularly delicious, especially with a packet of Chilula hot sauce.
Cool to hear you like Bray Wyatt and interested to see what they do in this match at Rumble too!! Great vid as always 👌
A fun and very entertaining episode, packed with big and small interesting and noteworthy things along the road.
This trip has been so interesting to me. Thank you for showing it to us.
Whatever you do, don't let the tank run low. I came close to being stranded innthe woods near Paoli, Indiana, because I failed to stop and fill up in Evansvile.
Yay Corvette museum was awesome! We love cars! The one dummy was holding a camshaft. Wish you would have shown the blue devil up close.
Gas station food, you should try QT they have amazing made to order food, WaWas same and of course Buccees!
Have a great Roadtrip and thanks so much for taking us all along!
the choose youre own adventure nature of this is fantastic. Been a fan for a while but this is amazing! Hopefully it is not placing too much stress on you!
There is a nearby Airplane park that you missed! Just 10 min from the Corvette Museum. Definitely worth a quick walk through
I definitely recommend quick trip for gas station food, and have had some meals from there myself! They have a kitchen (never ordered anything from it), but they have taquitos and other stuff on the rollers, and the walking nachos!!
Take a shot each time Jacob reference his car crash.
Pitch black match reminds me of the Cena Wyatt match
Same. We shall see Saturday.
Was just there this summer! Always awesome seeing places I’ve been make it to your channel.
There is a giant castle just north of the airport in Louisville, KY. That would be cool for you to at least check out.
Wow you are less than an hour away. Wish I could have met you.
Sinkholes freak me out 😮
Interesting stuff in this video. I remember in Michigan a lot of gas stations had wrapped baked goods in a basket at the counter where you pay. My favorite was the oats/peanut butter/chocolate no bake cookies. I didn’t see much in the way of sandwiches etc food then.
I found it funny, that you mentioned those amazing no bake cookies at gas stations in Michigan! Lol, I actually bought and ate one this morning, while out running errands.
@Sparty4789 haha Ya I loved the no baked. And I never see them outside Michigan. Especially up north
I'm guessing Frances the Mule is the star of the Mule Day Afternoon?
From northern KY and we call it ale 8. Lol we ignore how the company thinks it should be pronounced and do things our way here in the KY. love your videos and you and jenn. Enjoy your trip where ever we may take you. 😂
I would have voted for Pigeon Forge but I guess you've been there often enough. Sometime if you're ever in the tri cities area, there's a barbecue place called the Ridgewood Diner, it's been there for decades. It was old when I lived there in the late 80s. Great barbecue though.
I recommend the Flying J truck plazas you see on the Interstates across the country. They serve Truckers and there is a cool selection of transportable foods
Loved that Kentucky T-shirt design too, but I also can’t wear the “thick plastic” print on shirts! I guess I’m not the only one lol
Same. It makes me feel as if something is heavy on my chest.
Went to Corvette car museum over 2 years ago. My guys loved it ...
Birmingham Alabama would be my choice. Thanks for selecting Nashville . . . so much to do there.
Please visit the American Pickers Museum/Store in Nashville.
I like your idea for gas station dinners.
I'll be going to the Corvette Museum on my way home from the Smoky Mountain in late April.
Very brave for trying the gas station food!
Yeah, especially a station that labels hard-boiled eggs as fruit.
Ok,"Turd Clown" is my new go to phrase when dealing with morons!
I really enjoyed the mix of features in this post. Thank you, Jacob.
I"m still laughing at "The turd clown" remark.
Oh man, I remember the sink hole story. Glad they were able to turn it around.
I grew up in Louisville, and my Dad's family is from a town about an hour away from Bowling Green. Been to the Corvette Museum myself, and driven by there, and the other places you visited, especially Cave City and Bardstown, more times than I could count. Even went to Guntown Mountain, and rode the chairlift, with my husband, just before we got married-so about 20 years ago, lol. Also, I remember seeing on the news, when the giant sinkhole at the Vette Museum happened. The hole itself was once actually on exhibit, for a while. IIRC, they had a clear floor of some sort over it, and you could see all the way down in there, and see the cars, too, before they pulled them out. Not sure how close they actually let people get, though.
One last thing: If you're in Southern Kentucky again, and looking for local drinks, PLEASE try Ski! It's delicious! Way better than Ale8-1! (Yes, I know that's blasphemy for a Kentucky girl, lol!) It's a citrus soda, but like orange and lemon. I basically grew up on it, lol. It's a little like Mountain Dew, but WAY, WAY better!
Oh, and that mullet-ed beer wasn't just any beer. It was a PBR, lol!
Choose Your Adventure road trip is awesome! Gas station dinner segment is also fun. All killer no filler
Put those sassy pickles on your hot dog next time. Yum! Two things: 1) Kwik Trips have great food. 2) I wish we had ramen areas at gas stations like they have in S. Korea or Japan 7-11s
Hello from Gatlinburg TN 🏞️🏞️
To this day, cookie dough is still my jam. It slaps. It slays. It’s the best…despite my mom telling me I would get worms from eating it. 😂
I have lived in Lexington since 2014. I didn't know about most of these places thank you for sharing
loved the visit to the corvette cars , also want to mention some gas station at christmas time have festive unique collections worth visitng them at this time of the year
36 minutes in he mentions Big Red soda. They sell it as a fountain drink in some gas stations here in Tennessee also.
I loved guntown mountain so many memories from that place. Cave city is pretty cool.
I like how they made the tragedy of the sinkhole into part of the attraction. Well done!
love how the Pitch Black bottle says NEW even though it's not new
11:37 I stayed at the Wigwams Village last summer in Cave City, KY, last July and had a blast.
Turd clown sounds like an amazing insult lol
Red river gourge kentucky has alot of cool roadside attractions.
Good Morning Jacob 🙋🏽
I live near Franklin, KY and drive thru there a lot. Don't live too far from the Corvette museum but I never been there, maybe one day.
thank you for taking me along, be safe in your travels.
pilots/flying j have the best roller food imo
Super fun
My mom got her Batchelors degree from Western Kentucky. She used to receive their magazine until she died.
CB, you really covered ground and showed a lot. Thank you for showing off my home state where I've always lived, KY! It's been years since I've been in the corvette museum. The red car at the barbershop was a Thunderbird. Hoping you'll grab a SKI next time in KY. I believe Portland was TN
pitch black is really good and as soon as I saw that Royal Rumble match I knew they were going to bring it back
Enjoyed the video jacob glad you got to visit franklin I love that town
They have changed a lot in there I was there little over a year ago and had all the cars on display that was in the sink hole that’s crazy
cool to see the Corvette museum after the sink hole .. I went as a wee little child and spurred my love of Corvette's and as an adult have an '84 Corvette now
Kentucky is my favorite state
31:40 do you think that the people in the corvette museum, the statues in the barbershop (17:39) and the woman(17:56) in the window were looking at a UFO?
Possibly a dirigible!
Awesome you stopped within a few miles of my house. I live right between Bloomfield and Bardstown.
For your next city, keep an eye on winter storm Kassandra.
I'm two hours away from Bowling Green ,Ky.. Been to the Corvette Museum twice
I think that chicken thing is called a "taquito."
