GMC tries to go the salt desert to beat the world record, and it rains:

now we have another GMC owner trying to make his fortune renting GMC's for the burning man festival. and that seems to be starting out poorly:

When I think about it, there has been plenty of time spent in the GMC this summer during some pretty heavy rain storms. Past three weekends in fact, had heavy overnight rains saturday night, and three weeks back, I had to drive home in a storm on sunday when my windshield wipers broke.


would hate to see Dave spend all the time and money getting those basket case GMC's he rescued all the way out to his ranch, to only have them stuck. GMC I would not be something I would want to drive on a muddy desert!
