TRY HOLY! https://uk.weareholy.com/autoalex Get £5 off your first order with code 'Autoalex5'. Get 10% off any following Holy orders with code 'Autoalex'. Our tired 1979 Mercedes G-Wagon, Gertrude, tackles the final leg of a 2,000-mile road trip from Las Vegas to Houston, Texas, battling overheating, low compression, gear oil leaks and terrible fuel economy as we drive from Denver past Pikes Peak and through New Mexico. In Texas we watch stock car racing at Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo, see the famous 72oz steak challenge, spray-paint Cadillac Ranch, get pulled over by Texas Highway Patrol, ride in a driverless taxi and take on a mechanical bull in Austin. But will this classic G-Wagon survive the heat, a tropical storm warning and endless breakdowns to reach the Modern Air Cooled car meet and a final stop at NASA in Houston?
