Wow ! I've created a monster , just because I was jealous of another kid's toys. There are lots of things in life that I can't relate too but somewhat enjoy watching . So I think I'll just watch and keep my mouth shut ..... for a change

If you don't like what they're doing and think you could do it better, step up and take your shot. I'll cheer you on as best I can.

I like that generally Mike fixes things the right way . Don't get me wrong iI like road kill and road kill garage as well . Sometimes you just need to get 8t going .
...or keep it going for a little longer . I will miss the blown ramp truck though . I've thought of getting rid of the suburban and doing a big block C50 for hauling a boat . I realize they have been past needing it a few trucks ago though . Still have the truck you went out west for ? The one that milkshaked .Previously HoosierL98GTA

there's such a good illustration on Roadkill Garage's latest vid. The bent Roadrunner that Finnegan and Freiburger saved is back, last time they used an $800 body to make a complete car (kudos). This time they fix a bunch of stuff - but notice, the roof was bare as was the interior and rust is taking a solid hold on it (crap). It's a shame, they saved it only to have it die again from neglect. If only they knew a guy who could throw a bit of sealer on the car to keep it from rusting in half.

I'm a grumpy old fogey but from time to time I think ALL the You Tubers need to stop and think "Would I be doing THIS THAT WAY if I wasn't making a You Tube Video of it?". There is never any shortage of interesting fun things to do with cars. Maybe all shouldn't involve symbolic clown make up. Would you be doing ramp truck burnouts if you couldn't put them on You Tube? Maybe so, but would you attack them with the same fervor? Would you have built a Drag Week car? Probably, or at least that type of ride. But would it have turned into Blasphemi?
The highest praise I can give Roadkill is I've met You Tubers that watch it, subscribe and have no background or experiences with hot rodding whatsoever. They just like the show. But, shouldn't a little bit of effort be put into educating them about the pride and skill the majority put into the hobby/sport as well?
Drag Week was a personal goal for me. I did it twice before MT decided to film it. I've wanted a ramp truck long before Roadkill ever came into the picture. Every car I've ever owned was tested via burnout. The stuff you see built in my garage on my YouTube show is not the same rushed, hacked together stuff that appears on RK or FWF and this is solely because there's no deadline unless I give it one.

With every episode I'm answering one simple question in my head; what happens if I....?" So to answer your question...Yes. . I'd still be doing the same stuff if it wasn't on YouTube, I'd just get it done quicker because I wouldn't be filming myself and then sitting up all night editing the video.
