The Home Stretch

After driving for eights days and more than 2,000 miles, the road was starting to take a toll on Oprah, Gayle and the production crew. The road trippers were tired and cranky, and to top it all off, they were a little lost.

Once they figured out the route to Chattanooga, Tennessee, Oprah and Gayle decided to refuel in Nashville and have lunch with Oprah's dad, Vernon Winfrey, and his wife, Barbara.

Oprah and Gayle left the restaurant refreshed, but their trusty Chevy still looked like it needed some tender loving care. Road grime coated the exterior of the Impala and there was only one solution—the "ultimate" car wash! "A clean car is a happy car," Gayle said.
