I beg your pardon! This vehicle is no kind of van. It is a sporty sport utility vehicle. Especially the GT!

Seth is fantastic; have been following him for SO long.

I think he was very honest about the goals and contributions from corporate donors - it's a project viewers wanted and we viewers are curious about the results, which are somewhat predictable.

I'm sure the Walmart bike's (Ozark Trail Ridge) sales will spike as word spreads - I think a good value deserves to be shared around.

A better frame, etc. would result in a better bike, but that is super obvious.

Infecting the next generation.

Andrew's new ride is a leftover Specialized Fuse Sport.  Specialized stopped making the bike in 2022 but had made so many that dealers still had them and they were blowing them out.  Original MSRP $2400, paid $999.  Bought one for Lily two years ago for $1600 and thought that was a screaming deal.  Can't wait to get him out on the trails if it would ever stop raining around here.
