Anyone else watch Roadkill on the Motor Trend yootoob channel?

If you're a gearhead you really need to check it out. A little hard to find since it's a playlist on the Motor Trend Youtube channel but definitely worth a look if you're into car stuff. It's a reality show that's actually real. Finnegan and Freiburger are a hoot.

Best day at work, ever!

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I've been watching it for quite some time now.  =D
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Revisit because Roadkill is officially no more. Ditto its sister shows.

Love the show and watched it religiously when it was on YouTube. Wasn't real thrilled when MotorTrend moved it behind a paywall, but eventually popped the five bucks a month because RK and its spinoff siblings were so much fun. Bailed when MotorTrend stopped supporting streaming devices and forced viewers to suffer the perpetually buggy mobile app. It eventually went to MotorTrend TV where, in my opinion, MotorTrend made the programming too exclusive for its own good.

Freiburger, Finnegan, and most other hosts have their own YouTube channels now. Finnegan can be a little wordy but still fun as he deep-dives into build details. Freiburger's episodes are really cool for me, lots of history and inside stuff. Plus, I enjoy his roadtrips.

David Freiburger posted the news to his YouTube channel last week. He gives a pretty thorough history of the show, how it came to be, and what's happened through the years.

I thought sure I just watched it on Motortrend channel on Dish. Right now they are playing Roadworthy Rescues nonstop.
