No, he’s not from the TV show, Cheers, but he’s been a long time Chevy owner. Remember this post about him?

In this quick video, Sam tells us about his truck, visiting Michigan and about Southern Hospitality….

Just because Team Lansing has arrived in Austin, doesn’t mean the stories stop! 

We’ll be posting more about our adventures here. Plus I’m sure we’ll get lots of good stories in Austin and our drive home.

Stay tuned… More coming!

Get it ON!

Effingham is effin funny!

Worst thing eaten (oddly the same as the ‘Worst thing sat on’):

Team Lansing completed Challenge 27 - take a picture with a cowboy! 
Not only did we get our picture taken with a cowboy, but we played Bear, Ninja, Cowboy!

For Challenge 26, Team Lansing was tasked with cleaning up a local park.

Some of the team cleaned while others waited for their shift to begin.

For Challenge #25, we had to have one member of the team get a temporary tattoo of our team hashtag, #lanchevysxsw

And in honor of Texas, we went big and had not one, but 2 team members get tattoos!

Tiffany Wood brings the finger guns tattoos a-blazing.

Betsy Weber gets the classic tattoo across her knuckles.

Bonus points for 2 sets of tattoos?

Oh, the places you’ll go! On our trip, we got to see a good portion of the United States!

We visited the crossroads of the US in Indiana.

After that we headed through the Land of Lincoln in Illinois.

We played some air guitar in Tennessee.

We lounged around in Arkansas (they had the nicest Welcome Center on the trip. Fireplace FTW)

And, lastly, we messed with Texas.

Challenge 23 for Team Lansing was to get a Pez dispenser that represents a state we pass through.

We got the King of Pez in Memphis, Tennessee! Jumpsuit Elvis FTW!

Sadly the giant Pez does not come with giant Pez candy!

Bonus points for a Pez dispenser that sings?!
