It was filmed at the Firestone Complete Auto Care at 11524 South St. I was there the entire day as a 13 year old kid and all the crew along with Mike and Dana couldn't have been friendlier. We had free roam of the set including being able to sit in the Garth mobile while helping ourselves to the licorice dispenser.

It used to, but it's been renovated/remodeled. The house in Chas' photo IS Garth's house. Yes, the 7102 house seen on Google Street View matches the house seen in the movie, but that Street View was taken a while ago. In the time since the Google truck went down Texhoma taking images, the house at 7102 was heavily altered. You can tell Chas' photo is of the same property by comparing certain elements, such as the house numbers painted on the curb and the light pole next to the "7102" on the curb. Plus, if you look closely at the satellite image on Google Maps, you can make out the new driveway on the right (south) side of the property — the same driveway seen in Chas' photo, leading to the new garage. Chas' photo is correct ... he just wasn't fortunate enough to visit Texhoma before Garth's house was drastically changed.Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03450382853813148886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194902449691728680.post-15463294006172102762014-08-08T17:05:18.717-04:002014-08-08T17:05:18.717-04:00Hi.
