WORKING ON MY 1970 DATSUN 510 AND SENDING IT DOWN THE ROAD.

[@ken-uq7vr]

The real prize wasn't the car, it was getting to hangout with Finnegan and Joe! Congrats Kevin, you seem like the perfect fit for that car! Enjoy it, and NEVER get rid of it!

[@bearingking9202]

Lucky guy. Enjoy the new ride

[@seethesvt]

I won a trip to sema with Mike and it woulda been cool but it was obvious he was being paid to be there and it was kind of a let down. But sema itself was freaking awesome.

[@mikeswartspapa]

Dude experiencing a Roadkill moment with Mike just made it all that much better.

[@destructionnl8165]

Exactly. Think i would've been kind of disappointed if everything went exactly as it should've when you meet Mr. Roadkill himself because you won one of his cars.

[@stephenlea5765]

Came here to make the same comment!

[@andrewb5415]

I mean, honestly? That repair stuff and him getting to watch it in person just added greatness to the whole giveaway 🙂

[@EvilDeadFan11]

The gift cards and charging accessories were such a kind and great thing to do. Kudos!

[@doggonedk]

One look at that guy's bench and it was pretty obvious how many u-joints he's changed. Watching a guy like that only two words come to mind skill and grace. That guy was downright graceful smacking those u-joints out and back in.

[@truracer20]

Typically the younger generations cringe loudly seeing a u joint replacement that doesn't involve a Rube Goldberg press operation.

[@willt9172]

And they had four Unobtanium u-joints on the shelf! Super cool place!

[@martyb.1291]

I don't know who's smile was bigger Mike or Kevin but I think it was Mike you have a big heart may God bless you and your family!!!

[@videostar07]

The rust on a u-joint is always a telltale sign, it lost all lube a while back and is grinding itself to pieces. The squeak is the last thing before it implodes. Good catch Finn!

[@rockyota1]

That car is 100% cool. Dude is super lucky.

[@ronwatson4902]

Now that was a show. Worked out perfectly and you couldn't have planned better content. Thank you so much!

[@JonSantosIsBest]

Mike Finnegan is such a stand up guy. He fixed the Datsun after giving it away, gave a bunch of gift cards and was even going to fly the guy out. I've seen giveaways from others and nowhere did I see anyone fly them out for free and fix if anything went wrong. This is one of the reasons why I love his channel and always look forward to his next adventure.

[@truracer20]

Steve Morris gave away Sugar Mama, including, $10k, fly the winner in, prep the car, and take the car and it's new owner to the track for a demo.

[@TrevDoggTV]

Mike gave this dude everything he could think of and then some to make sure he got home! A man of the people

[@DarkHorseCom]

Congrats Kevin. Enjoy the ride

[@dwaynemurphy814]

Congratulations, Kevin. Don't forget Finnegan is part of Roadkill, never know what's going to happen.

[@garrettkifer8332]

"I dont think itll take $500 in gasoline.. so idk.. strippers?" 😂😂 love the thought process.

[@member369240sx]

was my thought before he said it. in my mind "Cool Mike give stripper money too"...lol

[@racebiketuner]

Everything is easy once you establish your priorities. 😉

[@deuceman32]

"I spent most of my money on gasoline and strippers, the rest I just wasted"

[@_JamesBrown]

Where do you swipe?

[@Cleaveland72]

​@@_JamesBrownwhere you wipe.

[@55GMCSuburban]

Congrats Kevin! I've used that driveline shop for over 20yrs. Great place!!

[@aaront4494]

We never did give away cars, but after we built them for people and they came to pick them up they often had similar feelings and reactions. It brought joy to us seeing their reactions happiness.

[@jasonzitt6408]

First off, he won more than the Datsun. He was an adventure. I love this video. Also Im not sure how the guys at drive line services can work with all the trash on the work surface but they do, do good work.

[@bmwpete65s55]

Driveshaft shop having exactly what you needed was a small miracle! Happy for the winner, had a 510 40 years ago and it was a blast!

[@jaredshoemaker9196]

Such a cool experience for a car guy. FSM gives their winners the full experience. Awesome job guys. Best of luck. Take Care!!!

[@jasonpittman657]

Love the autographed hat!! And a bonus sticker pack !! Can’t go wrong!!!! Thanks Mike

[@LukeEdward]

I still can’t believe that with free access to a time machine, you chose to go back 20 years and grab a young Bam Margera to drive your car. 2:25

[@georgem.6136]

Such an awesome car, you know Kevin is Stoked, congrats on the Win!

[@RDSAlphard]

I think he's the best person to win the 510! Hopefully he have better luck with it though!

[@heatherwickersham231]

Let's hear about the 1957 wagon that is in your storage unit.

[@robinwendt5527]

Yes please

[@alvinpowell6189]

Good job Mike and Joe!!! I like the way that went. And you are right, a better person could not have won! Awesome!!!

[@GTkiller82]

I actually seen y'all recording this...Congrats the Kevin on the win !!

[@mudrunner66]

Looking at the table at the driveline shop reminded me of my dad's shop. He made a lot of driveshafts. That was over 20 years ago. Thanks for the memory.

[@joemollet]

Great guys you and Joe are Mike! Love your channel!

[@robertcrego3997]

Awesome how you guys seemed more stoked to give away the car than he was to get it. Truly better to give than to receive.

[@bobbyborba6460]

The car definitely went to the right guy!! Congratulations Kevin!!! Looks like you genuinely the process Mike and Joe. See you guys next week

[@10mwtp]

I've never seen you this filled with joy!! So stoked you're in the position to be able to share cars with others and genuinely be excited for them. Cant wait for the next one!

[@thefounding5879]

No coupon for a tow truck? 😆 Seriously, you are the man Mike! It’s obvious that you care about making this a great experience and a lasting memory for the winner! Respect!

[@SpacelsFake]

The gift cards were a nice touch, and a kick ass bonus, like a sore dikk, you cant beat it. It really shows true sincerity and appreciation for the fans. Kick ass Mike. Keep on keeping on, and as always , #StayFrosty homeslice.

[@jonnewton5929]

Love that dude. Perfect winner. And that is a cool retro little car. Cheers Finn that was fun as.

[@StudioBeast7575]

Congratulations to Kevin and great video Mike &Joe.

[@DaveCarpenter-pd1pp]

Reminds me of the '69 Datsun 510 I bought when I was stationed in Charleston, SC in 1972. Thanks to the Navy shipping it, it went from Charleston SC to Rota Spain, to Long Beach,CA, to Honolulu Hawaii, and finally back to San Diego CA. Somewhere in the middle of that, I had split the exhaust at the tri-Y headers into two pipes, two glas pak mufflers, and twin side pipes just in front of the rear wheels. Rebuilt the engine once (I don't remember why anymore). Kinda tortured that L16 over the years... When you mentioned that squeek, my first thought was a U-joint. I immediately thought of the driveshaft... I don't remember an independent rear suspension on the 510. If you think changing half shaft u_joints is fun, try changing the center u-joint and support bearing on a two piece driveshaft, like my '77 620 pick-up had (but that's a story for another time and place).

[@stevearnold100]

My best friend in high school back in 1974 bought a Datsun 510. First thing he did was put US Mags and side pipes on it. We used to have a blast tooling around in it. Except for the one time coming home from Cal Jam 1 in Ontario when he accidentally ran 2 bikers off the freeway. They chased us down until we got stuck in traffic and proceeded to pound on the drivers window until he opened it up enough for the guy to reach in and punch him a few times. Luckily that was as far as it went. We were just a couple kids wasted from the day and terrified of them.

[@Friscorockhead]

I would've loved experiencing the whole breakdown and repair part. Adds to the adventure. Seem like it went to the right guy!

[@benjiarehart2878]

Congratulations Kevin! Getting to meet one of the best car guys around, and one of the niccest one's was another big win!

[@keithdecker3428]

That was awesome. A little roadkill to start a cool give away. Love these Sunday mornings.

[@dennisonbrower7680]

Chick-fil-a will forever be referred to as “ the lord’s chicken” in my household from here forward…lol

[@brianf8621]

Ditto.

[@MattDoe420]

Hell yeah a Louisiana man won. Congrats brother

[@MattDoe420]

@finnegansgarage06 the victor?? Hell yes!

[@MattDoe420]

So how do i go about this? All i have is an email

[@jasonfox6013]

CONGRATULATIONS KEVIN I think the next giveaway should be a day or two just hanging out with Mike and Joe much love from New Zealand

[@robertrussell7558]

Congrats Kevin. I really like the car. I reminds me of the BRE 510s I built as a lid. Great job Finnegan!🎉

[@GrayMatterBBC]

Always wanted to do a SR-20T 510! Such a cool little car👍🏻

[@ChetanGreywolf]

I have a 1970 Datsun 510 2DS. It has a dogleg 5speed with an L20B. Runs great. I'm in the process of rebuilding the rear control arms because the bump stops are flopping around in the old control arms due to the aftermarket anti sway bar linkage pulling forward and backward instead of up and down. I won't be putting the anti sway bar in until I resolve that issue.

[@Jimmyb918]

Totally awesome share doesn't get any better thanks guys😊😊😊😊😊❤❤

[@mibl01]

Damn he got the whole Roadkill experience with Mike, not just a car pickup... =D Getting picked up in the Daytona aka DumpsterFire, what an experience... Would be sooo stoked. One thing that would top that would be to ride in or to get to drive General Mayhem.

[@neilorange4112]

So cool definitely seems like the right guy got the car

[@kengilbertson1004]

Way to make sure it was good to go before sending him on his way. Enjoy that fun car.

[@Ghostsoulless]

The “Your paragraph text” in the thumbnail 😂

[@jimz68]

I sure miss my '72 510. What a fun car. Same color, too. Great times, great memories. Totaled in an accident when a drunk driver cut me off on the freeway.

[@michaelzimmerman635]

I had one too, same color as well.

[@scottburrow8717]

He got a great car. Love that little Datsun.

[@minimanadam]

Had I been in the winners shoes , I wouldn't have wanted that day to go ANY other way.. go out to lunxh with finnigan and joe get a sweet ,free car and even get to turn a wrech with them too ? Cmon ! How much better could it get ??? You rock Finnigan ! I hope to someday meet you and id let you whip My built jcw mini , lol you'd think its slow but I never been in a truly fast car , so it's fast to me lol😊

[@sleepervega71hill28]

I WOULD love to have the privilege of helping work with you or your helper/friend on fixing it. Let alone being given it. Good game 😀/show! LoL

[@Vibrolas]

You guys are awesome! Congratulations on the Datsun giveaway.

[@ralphholland8735]

😂gunna miss it. My landlord has one. Same color. ❤

[@anthonym187]

So cool you guys should have signed the dash congrats on the new car man

[@scroob72]

All good and great vlog. Just think, same thing happened with Cleetus when he gave that brand new truck away and had to replace the entire engine when the winner came and picked it up. Stuff happens, but all for good reason!

[@richardmallos]

Cute little car. I really feel like the window frame should have been painted black. Once I noticed it, I just couldnt un-see it. I see fox body mustangs like this all the time. It drives me crazy.

[@wheresthebeer1554]

Congrats Kevin, man I would've taken Dumpster Fire and road tripped back to FL with it.👍

[@danieltustison822]

Having to wrench a little with yall and fresh new parts hell that's a win win all the storys with friends lol

[@robm.6400]

gotta totally rebuild dumpster fire , would be amazing !

[@toddclark332]

Fixed and gone💪🏼😎👌thanks for the video guys have a great week later

[@FormulaZR]

I still think I would've been the best winner - but Kevin is a definite solid 2nd place. Seems like a super nice guy that is looking forward to enjoying the vehicle. And if I'd won, I'm much rather go the warehouse and wrench on the car with a beer vs eating lunch. I'm sure he had a blast!

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

I’m sure that Datsun is super fun to drive and rolls thru the bumps if it has like Bilstein’s on it.

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

Congratulations Kevin you’re one cool dude. 😊

[@jesseallan3886]

You are so lucky. This car is sik. In Australia, we only got this car in a 4 door called the Datsun 1600.

[@DanielCarter-bk8se]

This was the first raffle/giveaway I've ever been excited enough to buy merchandise and enter. Only to find out, you could send in free entries, and to lose. whoop. Who knows if I was even entered

[@toejamr1]

Many raffles are like that. I think it’s a law. It’s not easy to get the free entries, tho. You typically have to mail in a 3x5 card with your info on it.

[@danielhughes9556]

Ive owned 3 of those cars. 2 69's, and a 72. All 3 were 2 doors. Im bummed to see Finnegan passing it on. I was hoping to see it stick around. Good luck to the new owner though.

[@CrankshaftTX]

Mike, even though the law firm emailed the winner, (that happens with all of these type of contest winners) most influencers do a face time or call reveal for the video anyhow. It still would have been fun :)

[@eugenesbackyardrepair4593]

I had 82 210sl. Rear window louvers, tinted head light covers, raised letters and American racing chrome rims 😁😁😁. Loved it but lacked power two years after I owned it 😂😂😂

[@philipschrantz8402]

Halfshaft u-joints will squeak like that as the bearing cups wear out! My first car was a 510 and I got good at changing those u-joints in my driveway…

[@Trials-and-Tribulations]

You could use your phones GPS. As a speedometer 😂👍 if gauge cluster speedo stops working. Congratulations cool contest. Next time maybe pickup winner in the blue charger. Awesome youve found a Daytona superbird. I bet its 20dollars to fill the tank👍

[@uncleansanchez]

Doood!!!! My highschool machine shop teacher would have had a cow if he saw that huge mushroom on top of that drift/punch! Talk about a hand grenade waiting to go off. 😆

[@ClassicStreetIron]

Just like my old Berretta, it wasn't fast but it cornered well and was fun to drive.

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

You 'd man Mike! Congrats Kevin!

[@backtoobasics]

Congrats kevin!!!

[@crystalcoats5992]

My first car in high school was a 72 510 Datsun. I first hated it, but then loved it & now miss the hell out of it

[@jerrymarcum4684]

Imagine this situation in different context. Getting picked up by a stranger in Dumpster Fire, being driven all the way to the very back of some random industrial park where there's a dude standing beside a car in the cul-de-sac waiting for you. This is a terrible B movie 😂😂😂 LOVE IT!

[@jeremyhanna3852]

Joe has professed his love for that car a few times so you should give it to him he has earned it

[@LawrenceRoss1906]

As a fellow owner of a '70 510...congrats!!!

[@dilligafmofo5921]

As sweet as the 510 is, I would swap it in a heartbeat for a dirtfish lap in the ROTSUN. 😊 And some Bacon, And some speed parts.

[@Mattmcintyre-x2n]

Love the giveaway was a little disappointed withe the performance of the suspension in the c10 truck

[@ianthompson6268]

that would be my forever car. Lucky winner.

[@jrehtil1494]

Super day, super people, and great fun for all.

[@jeremymaschke8654]

The car is pre-disastered! It will be fine. You would know this line if you've watched the movie The World According to Garp. Great movie with a young Robin Williams with Glenn Close.

[@sleepervega71hill28]

Hello Finn. I'm getting Dave's and Mike mixed up. I had an 80' Toyota Corolla (yellow 💛 and I Still miss it and my 1ST car 1971 Mercury/Ford Capri. Seems like you would've gave him a card for a parts store. But.. You're sponsored by one. Make sure when he swipes the food cards he doesn't get a brown-streak! 😂 Pre-paid food stamps. Hahahaha 🤣

[@HPSFRoadrunner]

He seems like a hella-swella-fella. Congrats!

[@kevinjohnson8758]

Good one 👍. First ride. A 67 pl411ut. Datsun. ❤

[@vinniek3621]

Old trick belt squeak just grab a bar of dove soap hold it on it for few seconds and squeak be gone for while. Always worked for me

[@paulakapablo1749]

It’s not an adventure until something goes wrong.

[@spoonz202]

Sad i didn't win that sweet car, happy it went to a good home.

Might as well get the full FSM experience!
