  Don Armstrong: It looks really good.

  Don Armstrong: How much do you think that that sold for?
• 6:03
  Don Armstrong: Now let's uh just to be fair on this this is not some sort of a hot rod.
• 6:09
  Don Armstrong: Daily driver, it looks like it's a daily driver.

• 6:35
  Don Armstrong: All right.

• 9:50
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 9:50
  Don Armstrong: Next up, this is a Dale Earnhardt car.
• 9:52
  Don Armstrong: That's I I I have to compare it to that because he drove that car with the number three on the side of it forever and ever and ever.
• 9:59
  Don Armstrong: That body style.
• 10:00
  Don Armstrong: I actually have a friend of mine that has a black uh Earnhardt Monte Carlo.

  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, I'm gonna go 11,000.
• 10:23
  Mike Marrs: Complete with the velour interior.
• 10:25
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, and that's very nice.
• 10:27
  Jeff Dziekan: Very soft on your butt.
• 10:29
  Jeff Dziekan: I you know, I why don't they bring that back?
• 10:32
  Jeff Dziekan: I wish they would.

  Jeff Dziekan: I'd buy that.
• 10:34
  Jeff Dziekan: 24,999 for uh Mr.
• 10:36
  Jeff Dziekan: Skeleton.
• 10:38
  Don Armstrong: Okay.

• 10:44
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, I must have.
• 10:45
  Don Armstrong: All right.
• 10:46
  Don Armstrong: Well, um, it sold for 17,588.
• 10:52
  Mike Marrs: It's an SS.
• 10:54
  Don Armstrong: Is it?
• 10:54
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, if you if you look right below the mirror there, it's got the SS add on it.

• 11:10
  Jeff Dziekan: Another rag, yeah.
• 11:12
  Don Armstrong: It's got the Carrera bar on it.
• 11:14
  Don Armstrong: So um I don't think that it's uh too far-fetched for anybody to buy this car.
• 11:22
  Don Armstrong: The only problem that I have with cars like that is that at some point in his life it probably got ragged on a lot.
• 11:27
  Mike Marrs: Oh yeah.
• 11:28
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 11:29
  Mike Marrs: Surely you jest.
• 11:31

  Don Armstrong: For you Oldsmobile fans.
• 12:05
  Don Armstrong: 86 Oldsmobile 442.
• 12:12
  Mike Marrs: That hood looks like it's a little I was gonna tell you on that hood, I was looking at some of the other pictures.
• 12:17
  Mike Marrs: That is the clouds.
• 12:19
  Jeff Dziekan: I was gonna say it's either the other clouds or uh, yeah.
• 12:22
  Mike Marrs: There's other pictures where that's not there.
• 12:24
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 12:24
  Don Armstrong: Except for the wheels, I think it looks pretty stock.
• 12:28
  Don Armstrong: Uh aftermarket wheels on there.

• 12:37
  Don Armstrong: Wait a minute.

• 12:44
  Don Armstrong: All right, I'll go 15.
• 12:45
  Don Armstrong: 15.
• 12:46
  Mike Marrs: All right, here's George.
• 12:48

• 13:09
  Don Armstrong: I will never forget when they first came out with that car.
• 13:13
  Don Armstrong: I drove it and I was not impressed with it, and I hated the look of it, and I still feel the same way about it.
• 13:18
  Don Armstrong: It's an 05 Ford Thunderbird.
• 13:22
  Don Armstrong: So you're going to buy the car just because it has a Thunderbird name.
• 13:25
  Don Armstrong: This one here has the optional removable top with it's got the opera window in the back.
• 13:31
  Don Armstrong: Could you make it any uglier?

  Don Armstrong: 12.
• 13:39
  Mike Marrs: So but you drove one of these, Don?
• 13:40
  Mike Marrs: With the VM?
• 13:41
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, when it was when they when they first came out.
• 13:44
  Don Armstrong: But it was it was probably somewhere around 2001.
• 13:51
  Don Armstrong: Is that when they first came out?
• 13:52
  Don Armstrong: Somewhere in there?
• 13:53
  Don Armstrong: Same car, same body style.
• 13:55
  Don Armstrong: You know, not much different.
• 13:56
  Don Armstrong: But uh they quit making that pretty quick because it didn't sell.
• 14:00
  Don Armstrong: Well, hello.
• 14:01
  Don Armstrong: So how much for the O5 Thunderbird?
• 14:03
  Jeff Dziekan: Heisman says 17, I say 12.
• 14:05
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh George is a little under 10 grand at 99999.
• 14:08
  Jeff Dziekan: Well, you win.
• 14:09
  Mike Marrs: And then uh David came in at 12,000 as well.
• 14:12
  Don Armstrong: Well, so uh Heitzman, I'm sorry, uh Jeff Zeken and David Ainsley.
• 14:17
  Don Armstrong: It sold for$13,388.
• 14:19
  Mike Marrs: Right.
• 14:20
  Mike Marrs: So they could split it.
• 14:21
  Mike Marrs: Each one of them take a bucket seat.
• 14:23
  Mike Marrs: God, no.
• 14:24
  Mike Marrs: Take a hard top and a soft top.
• 14:26
  Don Armstrong: No, that'd be one of those you'd kill your friend.
• 14:28
  Don Armstrong: Um last up, this is a 1981 DeLorean DMC 12.
• 14:36
  Don Armstrong: But it looks like it was in the process of being restored or stripped or something because uh it's in a chop shop.
• 14:42
  Don Armstrong: It's in a chop shop.
• 14:44
  Don Armstrong: I would imagine that somebody said, ah, what a great project car, and then said, uh-uh.
• 14:48
  Mike Marrs: I think he I think he said it set for like 12 years in his garage because it was he was gonna get to it eventually, but he gave up.
• 14:55
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, one of those kind of things.
• 14:57
  Jeff Dziekan: Does it have a flux capacitor?
• 14:58
  Jeff Dziekan: That's gonna raise the price.
• 15:00
  Mike Marrs: I did not see one.
• 15:00
  Mike Marrs: There's an engine shot there, but I don't recognize the flux capacitor.
• 15:04
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm gonna go eight grand.
• 15:06
  Jeff Dziekan: That's that's pretty much parts car.
• 15:09
  Mike Marrs: Well, Mr.
• 15:09
  Mike Marrs: Heisman agrees with you at eight grand.
• 15:13
  Don Armstrong: Anybody else?
• 15:15
  Mike Marrs: I think everybody else is still in a state of shock that that it's up there.
• 15:19
  Don Armstrong: The 81 DeLorean DMC 12, you see pictured here, sold for$17,745.
• 15:25
  Don Armstrong: My guess is it doesn't really Joyce's punitive, punitive, punitive damages.
• 15:31
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, you'd never want to buy a car like that.
• 15:32
  Don Armstrong: Not me anyway.
• 15:33
  Mike Marrs: Well, that's a serious basket case.
• 15:36
  Mike Marrs: You know, you literally got to put it in baskets to get it home.
• 15:39
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 15:39
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 15:40
  Don Armstrong: Not not for me.
• 15:41
  Don Armstrong: All right.
• 15:42
  Don Armstrong: Um, we need to take a break.

• 18:01

• 18:01
  Mike Marrs: That's it.
• 18:02
  Don Armstrong: The note from the home.
• 18:04
  Don Armstrong: From the home.
• 18:05
  Don Armstrong: All right.
• 18:05
  Don Armstrong: We're going to do driving destinations now, Mr.
• 18:08
  Don Armstrong: Mars.
• 18:08
  Don Armstrong: You got that queued up and ready to go?
• 18:10
  Don Armstrong: Oh, uh, Jeff's got it cued.
• 18:12
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, all you need to do is say the words, Mike.
• 18:14
  Mike Marrs: Um I'm ready for it.
• 18:16
  Mike Marrs: And I was really looking forward to this one because Mother's Day is coming up, so you've got to do a little planning ahead for some of these things if you want to make a nice little getaway.
• 18:24
  Mike Marrs: And so these five places are going to be, they're less than a half a drive from half a day's drive from Houston, Austin, San Antonio, even Dallas, Fort Worth.
• 18:33
  Mike Marrs: So we're talking about a Hill Country getaway here, but we're not talking about a regular getaway.
• 18:38
  Mike Marrs: We're talking about glamping, Texas style.
• 18:40
  Mike Marrs: And what you want to do then is uh have you know it's we're talking about open skies, a glass of wine, and uh maybe a hot tub and no kids around for the majority of these.
• 18:53
  Mike Marrs: So the first one we want to start with is Safari for the soul.
• 18:56
  Mike Marrs: Now, this place is outside of Austin in Marble Falls, built specifically for couples.
• 19:02
  Mike Marrs: There's no kids, no crowds.
• 19:04
  Mike Marrs: Got some luxury tents that are tucked along the river that's not very far from Lake LBJ.
• 19:09
  Don Armstrong: Would you please wait a minute, wait a minute, would you please define a luxury tent?
• 19:15
  Mike Marrs: I'm working on that.
• 19:17
  Mike Marrs: So you got the luxury tent, you're gonna have possibly private hot tubs, outdoor showers, movie setups.
• 19:22
  Mike Marrs: Sometimes some of these will have air conditioning, but this particular one doesn't.
• 19:26
  Mike Marrs: It's more of a tamp, it's glamping, more of a wine set out and look at the stars type of thing.
• 19:33
  Mike Marrs: And uh but that one's at Marble Falls.
• 19:35
  Mike Marrs: Now, if you want to, I got one up here I'm saving for you, Don.
• 19:38
  Mike Marrs: If your idea of glamping is a little towards more towards modern, the wall Walden Retreats Hill Country.
• 19:45
  Mike Marrs: So this is another 21 and up venue that you can go to.
• 19:49
  Mike Marrs: It's about an hour west of Austin.
• 19:51
  Mike Marrs: It's based on 96 acres out on the Pertinales River.
• 19:55
  Mike Marrs: These are architect-designed 500 square foot tents.
• 19:58
  Mike Marrs: Now they got big glass views of the hill country, they got soaking tubs, big decks all around it.
• 20:03
  Mike Marrs: They have air conditioning, they have heaters, they've got running waters, private baths, king's eyes bed, and even a kitchenette.
• 20:11
  Mike Marrs: So it's quiet, but it's out in the middle of the wine country, so you can also get you some wine, sit out, watch the sun go down, and have a big time with mom for the weekend without the kitties.
• 20:21
  Mike Marrs: Now the other one you can go to is your mom.
• 20:25
  Don Armstrong: Not your your mother.
• 20:26
  Don Armstrong: That would be that would be the mother of your children.
• 20:30
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, okay.
• 20:30
  Mike Marrs: Mother's Day, mother children.
• 20:32
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, the mother of your children.
• 20:33
  Mike Marrs: You probably don't want to take your mom mom.
• 20:36
  Don Armstrong: Correct.
• 20:36
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, that's true.
• 20:37
  Don Armstrong: Just wanted to make sure that we got that straight.
• 20:42
  Mike Marrs: All right, so the uh Udiscope Echo Glamping Resorts.
• 20:47
  Mike Marrs: Now, these are some elevated lamping pods.
• 20:50
  Mike Marrs: They're kind of futuristic.
• 20:51
  Mike Marrs: They got a lot of sci-fi type stuff in, a lot of technology, but they got private jacuzzies, they got a dining area, they got a patio that you can sit out there and look down across the hill country.
• 21:01
  Mike Marrs: And because it's outside of Austin, far enough, you can literally see a lot of the stars.
• 21:07
  Mike Marrs: So it's not like a typical hotel that you want to go to for the weekend.
• 21:11
  Mike Marrs: Now, if you want something to get a little more laid back on the other end of the spectrum, go to the Juniper Ranch and retreat at Canyon Lake.
• 21:20
  Mike Marrs: Again, this is 21 Plus place, and they've got bell tents and vintage airstreams so that if you want a little RV feel to it, you can get that.
• 21:28
  Mike Marrs: They got hammocks, they got hot tubs, and it's near Canyon Lake.
• 21:32
  Mike Marrs: It's about 30 minutes to Nebrons from there if you decide you need to go into town.
• 21:36
  Mike Marrs: And it's um it's a place where you slow down.
• 21:39
  Mike Marrs: You know, you can drink your coffee a little bit longer, but the phones don't work so good, and the internet don't work near as good as the phones work.
• 21:47
  Mike Marrs: But if you really want some more room to roam, go to the Space Camp Resort.
• 21:53
  Mike Marrs: Now, this is a resort out in Hunt, Texas, near Kerrville.
• 21:56
  Mike Marrs: So it's a little bit further out, but uh it's a little more West Texas.
• 22:00
  Mike Marrs: Is less crowds, but they got the glamping tents and the cabins, and you have access to the Guadalupe River and a private lake.
• 22:08
  Mike Marrs: So if you want to go do a little river, but again, it's a little bit further west, so you've got the cloud.
• 22:17
  Mike Marrs: I mean the the skies are a lot clearer because you're away from all the ambient light that's around.
• 22:22
  Mike Marrs: So it gets out there if you want to do a little nighttime viewing.
• 22:26
  Mike Marrs: It's a great place to go and do that.
• 22:28
  Mike Marrs: So you can do all of these things, and you can have a lot of the comfort of being kind of out camping, but you've also got the comfort of uh air conditioning and heating.
• 22:38
  Mike Marrs: They're all within a lot of things.
• 22:39
  Don Armstrong: And if it just so happens that you smell weed wafting through every once in a while because hobs aren't nearby, they'll have to take them 30 minutes to get there.
• 22:47
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, you remember.
• 22:48
  Mike Marrs: You got to back up to the one up, I think it's up in Hunt.
• 22:50
  Mike Marrs: That's where you're gonna kind of get in that that secondhand smoke that you gotta watch out for.
• 22:55
  Mike Marrs: But anyway, so these play none of these places are very big.
• 22:58
  Mike Marrs: So if you want to go to these places or others like them, you need to plan ahead and make your reservations because some of these only have 11, 12.
• 23:07
  Don Armstrong: Absolutely.
• 23:08
  Mike Marrs: I'm gonna give you a map I'll tell you where to go.
• 23:10
  Don Armstrong: Oh, he's gonna tell you where to go, alright.
• 23:12
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, yeah.
• 23:12
  Don Armstrong: Well, he's told me that several times this morning.
• 23:15
  Don Armstrong: Well, thank you, Mr.
• 23:16
  Don Armstrong: Mars.
