There’s cars in them thar hills! No, really, there are. I don’t care what part of the country you are in, walk a little bit and chances are good that you will find a derelict car somewhere, one that just didn’t quite make it to the crusher but that the title holder or property owner isn’t bothered about moving. These become yard killers, lawn art, animal havens, “eyesores”, and the reason why that one creepy guy with the really old tow truck cruises around your neighborhood offering to remove your old scrap car. It’s sad to know that most of these leftover wheels will end up either rotting back to earth in place or will be dragged out unceremoniously en masse and crushed when someone finally kicks the bucket.
Roadkill’s wonder twins decided that coming up to somewhere in Tennessee to hunt for a project car was a great idea. Since neither Freiberger or Finnegan is related to the owner of the yard they chose to hunt at, they were out of luck…and that was before they got to work. Originally they were going to build a Corvette, but when that plan sank like the Titanic, Plan B for Big-Ass Buick got put into place. Specifically, they chose to excavate a 1956 Buick Century from out under at least thirty years’ worth of blackberry bushes, kudzu and whatever else was entombing this big finned monster. Someone tell me where I can buy my Roadkill machete, or my Roadkill chainsaw! They look like they work amazingly well!
Not up to the guys typical low standards…should have ended up on the “cutting room floor”. No pun intended. 🙂
That’s 28 minutes and 07 seconds I’ll never get back. Haven’t seen many worth watching in quite some time and if that’s the best they can do, stick a fork in them cause they’re done.
Dear Arrested Development Twins,
Call it a day before you hurt somebody and give the hobby an even worse reputation that you already have.
Enough IS Enough. It’s Not Entertaining anymore.
I kept waiting for the part when they got the car running, then the advertisement for MTOD came up.
I’m on board with the concept, and it was funny to watch. But the whole “get it running” part seemed lacking.
At least the Buick they cut up wasn’t worth anything, and the Corvette was nothing to write home about either.
