The way you two put content together and the scenery that goes along with it is truly impressive and a great watch. As soon as I saw the release of the 500R, I said to my wife H2L will definitely be trading in the 450R's.:) You guys do a great job and we love the videos, btw, I like that you guys ended up at a bass tournament!

    Really wish music wasn't being played when engines are screaming, we like to hear the sound of an engine or engines ripping at 7,000 + RPM too! !

    Whats the difference between the 600hp V12 and the 500R. Obviously the 500R is a smaller package. I would have though a 4 x 600 would have been a slightly more efficient setup. These videos show what is great about the USA, and serve as a wonderful tourism advertisement.
