    I started watching this channel on the episode where you were selling a Yukon Denali and everything that could go wrong went wrong. Despite your best efforts you couldn't make the customer happy and you apologized, let him out of the deal that went sideways. I felt you showed your true colors and have been watching ever since. This episode reminded me why I keep coming back. What a wonderful way to thank Papa Al. You're an inspiration Craig!

    Outstanding! Papa Al is an absolute badass (especially after watching the Sturgis series, and then hearing everything else you've told about him) and deserves that car more than anyone else on this planet. What an awesome and perfect gesture of your gratitude. All of my grandparents passed years ago, but I can only hope that someday I can afford to do something similar for my parents. P. S.: Your grandma is hilarious. Those 2 should have their own RUclips channel

    My late Granddad was a car lover, Cadillacs and Continentals. I never had the chance to buy him a car but my Beautiful Wife and I just purchased an 03 Thunderbird and we christened her Margo after my late Grandma. They were married for 67 years. To me, they the embodiment of grace and elegance. Sure do miss them.

    And i’m jealous- not about the car, but the fact you still can wear your HS letter jacket. 😂 30 plus years later and mine is waaaaay to small.
