Special Events

Rob Richardson from the CMT/Viacom show trick my truck (Viacom did Lance's car on sister show Overhauling). Rob will be driving the "Iron Man" truck or the "Stealth Bomber" they did on the show. He is also bringing Chris Anderson who lost everything including his 18 wheeler while doing chemo. The trucks are awesome show trucks and of course traffic stoppers just due to their size. Chris's truck is called "The Survivor" and was built on that theme.
