What would YOU like to see on RoadKill?

[RockJustRock]

O.K., so I don't watch rusty junk on TV. Drove enough of it back THEN. Had enough of it. I guess I need to suggest an alternative.... How about a show about magazine cover cars and where are they now? I mean one car per Roadkill episode. SOME might just EVEN be junk and rusty to please the viewer base. ANNNND if F&F can't FIND the car why not build a tribute? My FIRST pick would be THIS one. JUST because it made the cover WITHOUT the owner knowing until he strolled into the 7-11 and SAW the magazine. Wrote a letter to the editor and was he PISSED!. Now WHAT could be MORE Roadkill than THAT?



Well...... THIS:
Jack Chrisman's WILD Rear Engine Mustang was snapped up by an LA area funny car racer's NEPHEW who proceed to terrify staging lanes and starting line employees ALL over So Cal with it. Guy's name was John Force, you MIGHT have heard of him. They've survived the Vee Drive so far, go for the chain.

yeah, I wouldn't want anyone to know I owned a Falcon (if I ever did, which I swear on a stack of Freigburgers I didn't)...

I want to see something I wouldn't think of doing.

which is mostly what they do now.

[RockJustRock]

Considering it further.... The Falcon Tribute wouldn't be straight up because they would be REQUIRED to make ALL 10 mistakes and more. Too much Carb and Cam. Race Oil on the street (well, in the pan). No Bumper on at least one end. Funky Glasspacks. Straight axle, ladder bars and air shocks. Non-D.O.T. wheels and tires. Extreme gauges and gears. Wait? Doesn't Blasphemi have ALL that?

Blasphemi is a race car...CJ was talking about street cars, dressed up to look like race cars, wasn't he?

I think I would like to see them road tripping the junk they already have and improving them or doing an event with them . Like their drag events run the 55 chevy or draguar . autocross the 240-280 Z stuff like that . Power tour something that isn't new and suppied by Dodge (I'm not saying they did this but just saying no new car ). the occasional bring a car back from a deep slumber is o,k, and for crying out loud do not take a useful truck and make it totally useless like stubby bob .

[RockJustRock]

Doesn't Finnigan street drive Blasphemi?

Oh, gawd, not the what is a street car riff!

[oletrux4evr]

Yeah, but so do the guys on Drag Week. Many race cars are streetable.........and many street cars are raceable.

Heavens NO! Wash and PAINT them?

10 years of sweating whether my malaise era stuff was nice enough for the strip or show and THIS is at SEMA!

[squirrel]

my truck was nice enough for the strip when I was 18...and it was covered in brushed on house paint. It had a big block in it, so appearances didn't matter. For about a year, then I started on the bodywork!

[pdub]

Of all the Road Kill episodes I've watched, I'm left with one thing. That is, these guys have the funnest job in the world. If it's putting a blower on a Jaguar, or road tripping something that was painted with a dead chicken. I'm not sure what they ... WHO they are trying to appeal to. I can't quite get my head around it, but they are for sure having fun. And if they blow up, they've got a ride home, with all of those cameras around them. Just sayin.

[oletrux4evr]

I love this series. I'd like to see more of it!

[malc]

So far I'm not griping, they've managed to do something in every episode I'd not dream of doing.
I can't understand why they do what they do in such self imposed conditions, like engine swaps in parking lots with snow or trips to Alaska....in snow.
The last episode of Roadkill Garage was educational for me...carb tuning the truck using an Air/Fuel gauge.

[squirrel]

As someone who's participated in Drag Week and LeMons Rallys and stuff, I totally get whey they do things in harsh self imposed conditions.

It lets you know you're alive.

[SuperBuickGuy]

either that or you're a masochist
