To this day and forever, my absolute FAVORITE episode on any of the shows, was when you and Freiburger stopped by your parents’ store on the road-trip in the Crusher Camaro. The unbridled reaction of your Dad when you pulled up to him checking the mail: “Sonofabitch! I’ll be damned! How are you, Son? You are the last person on the planet I expected to see today.” You could hear his smile before you could see it. If you got nothing else out of Roadkill, Mike, that visit with your Dad was worth it all.

Hi Mike. I'd been avoiding leaving a comment for years but finally it seems now is a better time than any. I worked as a Post Production Edit Lead for Velocity and then currently with MotorTrend as my client including through the joint-venture and merger. But before that, I was a avid fan of Roadkill back in college in 2012 and 2013 before working at Discovery. I had the opportunity to pick which network I wanted to work with, and Velocity was my choice. Since I was the one of the few people with familiarity of your show, I was excited to lead the edits in the bay and keep the soul of the show intact as much as possible while potentially bringing it to a larger audience (before El Segundo took over editing for TV). As a fan, I'm glad it continued for as long as it did. We also lost a lot of talent on our side during this whole ordeal, so it wasn't uni-directional (large debt from the merger to make WBD), and I was never at the level to get advance knowledge or any sort of input just to be clear - just a cog in a larger machine. I wish you, David, and the other hosts and crew the best and will look forward to this being a stepping stone in a hopefully much larger future story! PS. I also agree that the first incarnation of the Rotsun was the best :)

[@FinnegansGarage]

thank you for the comment and the inside look. :)

Hey Mike/David, thanks for all the great moments that you've shown us over the years! While I hadn't really watched Roadkill past when MotorTrend decided to leave KZbin, I LOVED the content that you guys put out 10+ years ago. My favorite moments were the episodes where you brought your "builds" to DirtFish and just had a ton of fun rallying around their course. Best to both of ya and hope that you guys can continue on with sharing your experiences and joy with everyone!

[@Stealth.Sierra]

Mike, hearing you and Dave say “This time on Roadkill” has been a weekly occurrence in my life since before I could drive. Roadkill is the reason I got into cars and I have nothing but fond memories of watching you guys live the absolute dream with all the hotrods and projects. Meeting you at Cleetus & Cars in Bristol was an absolute bucket list experience for me and I’ll never forget it. Long live Roadkill, I hope you and Dave continue to make content together here on KZbin to continue the legacy

[@ImaClutz]

I just want to say thank you to you and Freiburgern. I'm a 50 yo female with 3 now adult daughters. We all started watching Roadkill years ago. Watching you guys and similar shows inspired our daughters to learn about cars. I was never more proud than when our girls announced they wanted tools for holiday gifts and then went on to learn to maintain their vehicles and use those tools. All of that was inspired by the entertainment and antics of Roadkill. I still find myself pausing and asking my husband what something means, thus learning more about how things work than I'd have learned otherwise. So thank you for the entertainment and the education and for inspiring my girls to take care of their cars themselves, thus not having to be at the mercy of others. It's a special kind of freedom when you know how to fix your own car. Best of luck in what you're doing. Whoever you guys end up, we will be following.

As I was sitting through 5-6 hours getting my treatments I would watch all the iterations of your shows, RK, RKG, HRG, Faster and Engine Masters, which made each day of feeling crappy not so bad. They say laughter is the best medicine, and that is very true. You guys made me laugh my ass off with your antics and banter was very entertaining and enjoyable. It sucks that these big companies don't care about the fans, just the almighty dollar. I will still keep my MT subscription so I can still watch all your great shows!

My second son was born August of 2020. My wife and celebrated New Year’s Eve in a children’s hospital five hours from home. We celebrated our anniversary in that same hospital in February. Finally going home that March. Roadkill, among other shows, helped pass the time while I held my son keeping him comfortable so my wife could work. I’d set the iPad on a table next to the recliner and we’d enjoy hours of episodes. He was hooked to all sorts of tubes and wires. Test after test came back “normal”. He was finally confirmed to be one of five children known in the world with an unnamed genetic disorder. Now four, he is unable to walk or talk. But he can make sounds. Laugh and giggle. He is on a feeding tube. He loves the sound of engines and will spend hours with me in the shop. Often found napping in front of the wood stove. I can’t thank you guys enough for helping us get through a very difficult time. You’ve inspired us to get out and do cool stuff with our junk. Hope to see you at a live event someday 🙏🏼

I've been watching Roadkill since Episode 1. I don't remember how I found it when it came out, I was 12, and watched it religiously throughout my teenage years, and it defined who I am and who I became in the world. It made me realize that the 20+ vehicles rotting away in my fathers yard don't all need to be restorations, but rather, something I can slap together and have fun with as is. I met you back in around 2015 I want to say, or whenever you had first built the first painted version of Blasphemi. You brought it out to the Pomona Swap meet, and signed a hat I had, the only thing I had on me at the time, and spent time with this 14 or 15 year old kid talking about your Hemi 55. I never forgot it, and now I am 24, with my own KZbin channel, hoping to create half the content you and the other guys put out, because I have to. Car guys, enthusiasts, we don't choose this life. I was born into it, my father being in the Ford Performance Parts and Cougar business since the 1970's, it took me a long time to realize that what I really wanted to do when I grew up, was build cool cars, and make friends while doing it. I wish you all the best, and hope that you all can continue with new and interesting content for as long as you WANT. And we all get the benefit of watching. Thank you so much, from all the fans, especially that 14 year old that got to see his hero and the car he built, and was not let down. You guys have something very few have. Good Luck, and here's a quote for you that I still live with every day, from the speed businessman himself, Carroll Shelby, "Every morning I wake up with new ideas" #Roadkillforever

[@higgybear]

Okay sorry for the late comment, Roadkill to me is the mecca of car shows, So much it got me back into what i love. Its the phrase "Don't make it right, Just make it run" I now have a collection of cars that just run. Im beyond proud of the fact that you guys got me back into a hobby I love. And I owe you guys because my daughter and I bonded watching your shows. I had been saving up money to go to a RoadKill event but knowing you are still going to create more content then I'm not upset.

Finnegan, from the 80s-90s mini truck days (Resoloutions anyone?) through to Roadkill, you have created fun, automotive content. I've happily absorbed a great deal of it, and intend to continue that as long as you post content. I hate that another one of my favorite things to watch will be (is?) no more. Mostly, I hate that everyone has lost their jobs, and so close to the holidays to boot. I hope everybody lands on their feet. Can't wait to see what you cook up next. And, for the record, the Rotsun with the race V6, would be absolutely epic. Glad we could all be part of the RoadKill ride. Cheers

I bought a 1988 Grand Wagoneer that was SBC swapped, was someone's abandoned project, and it barely ran. I was in way over my head but I jumped in with both feet, I learned how to work on it on the fly. It's now so reliable I use it as a daily driver to work every week. It's been eternally rewarding and I never would have done it if it wasn't for roadkill. I've been watching since the beginning and its remarkable the impact it's had on me. Thank you Fin.

[@charlesputt8588]

I'm 9 days late to the comment party, but here I go: You, Mike, are more or less personally responsible to what I've been up to in my spare time for the past 8 or 9 years. After randomly watching a Hagerty stop-motion video featuring a rebuild of an MG engine, I let autoplay roll with the next video, and the next video started with a '68 Charger sliding to a stop in front of a camera, and you were there saying "In this episode of Roadkill, we rebuild a '68 Charger using use motorhome parts!" That video had my attention for the next 40 minutes, and thus my addiction to KZbin as an alternative to regular TV began. In that same episode, I heard about the Monaco that was used to race in Lemons, and I was like "What's Lemons?". So I looked up the episode where the Monaco was taken to a 24 hours of Lemons race, and now I'm a Lemons race driver (kinda, almost). Then I saw the video about the Lemons Rally (probably the closest you recorded to my house) and I was like, "I can do that, too!" and now I go on Lemons Rallies whenever I can. Later on (2018 or 2019), I met you in person at the Carlisle Ford show, and I asked you to deliver a Freiburger Pilsner beer mug to David. Then I took ErictheCarGuy to dinner later that same day. I've done a lot of fun stuff thanks to all the KZbin I consume, and I figure I have you and David to thank for all that. So thanks, Mike. I've been watching yours and Tony's and David's and Lucky's and everyone else's KZbin shenanigans and I look forward to what everyone's doing next.

[@nazimthedream]

Thanks!

[@FinnegansGarage]

u rock. thanks for the support!

[@hrg_tv]

Damn man. I lll be honest I shed a tear watching this. Fucking legends.

[@sellickusa]

Epic legends in the automotive space

[@chloehennessey6813]

Me too. I’m so glad they’re both here on YT. Otherwise I’d be ugly crying.

[@RobertGracie]

I remember watching Roadkill for years, I raise my hat to you guys, you went above and beyond what I thought was possible, I remember when you guys region locked it to the US and me in the UK was unable to watch it anymore, but I am going to miss you guys so damn bloody much, you should upload ALL your episodes to KZbin all 170 of them so they are free to access world wide!

[@Onewheelordeal]

There's no way they own those episodes, especially ones produced since the Discovery acquisition

[@agentcrm]

Discovery are the ones that did the Geo-blocking. There is a lot of episode that have been thrown on youtube, you just need to download them quickly before they're hit with copyright and taken down. The only people who can legally post the episodes are Discovery.

[@Str8upGoufy]

Im a bit behind on watching the videos on how/why. 1- Thank you so much for making some of the best car guy entertainment out there. (I’ve always said that OG TopGear, Grand Tour, and Roadkill are my favorite shows). 2 - I am so sorry it’s over, but I’m SURE you will land on your feet. (Not even that you have been knocked down, you seem to have done well getting a solid channel built and merch as well). You guys are the GOAT as far as representing us - the average car guys working on our cars in the driveway (sometimes the side of the road) and other places we didn’t plan on lol. Duct tape up and carry on sir!

[@Gretscho44]

Dude I'm following you from France since the beginning of Roadkill. So I can tell you I’m gonna buy all the merch' I can. We need a show with Dave, Steve, You and all the hosts to fill our veins with good Roadkill spirit. Take care and thx for all the entertainment !

[@Yvolve]

Roadkill is the only car show that can exist without constantly being compared to Top Gear/The Grand Tour, and has created a whole new genre. To me, it will always be on par with those shows. I have to mention MCM as one of the all time greats and for predating Roadkill, who are still going strong. Absolute legends and the episode with them is still one of the greatest. We're going to miss this format but I'm so happy all the MotorTrend hosts have YT channels.

[@weirdlifesolutions1516]

Please launch a Patreon so we can donate. Roadkill, you and Dave and all of the stuff that came from that has carried me and numerous other people through some really tough times. I'd be absolutely happy to help support you guys continuing to do what you do.

[@Crazy_8_gaming370]

I have been watching you guys since I is about 12 now I'm 22, I'm going to miss you guys for a longest time I'm alive. I started watching you guys for after my aunt died. You guys got me out of a deep depression and now I'm going to start watching you guys for from the start up to the last episode. You're the reason why I'm in the cars and always will be. You guys keep doing what you guys are doing. Forever in my heart you guys are the best that can't wait to see you guys are roadkill nights next next year and hopefully I'll bring on my car for you guys to all enjoy. RIP roadkill

[@justingould7348]

Thanks Fin, Freiburger, and the entire crew. I can honestly your videos have meant so so much to me any many others. Roadkill has been a movement and I hope it continues on in one for, or another far into the future.

[@vxpenfold]

Not gonna lie that opening montage had me tearing up 😔 watching you guys on that journey has got me through some pretty crappy times and I can’t believe it’s all coming to an end

[@the_wingnut]

That may be the first time I've got choked up watching Roadkill content, at least that I can remember.

[@alfredjohnson2191]

That Finn laugh and David saying this is “garbage” makes me laugh every time. Thanks guys!

[@Ace_of_Spades-oe2yv]

Been watching you guys since the beginning, attended Roadkill Nights in 2016 and 2017, briefly got to speak to you both when I was in line for the hellcat thrill rides. I’m sad to hear you won’t be making new Roadkill content but look forward to seeing what your channel comes out with it.

[@brandonscottartitst421]

We lived vicariously through you guys! A show about doing epic shit with your friends and loving every minute of it. "LONG LIVE ROADKILL"!!!!

[@andrewschmidt5312]

Don’t usually post to channels, BUT an exception for the Roadkill programs. I enjoyed the programs not only for the content, which was classic, but for the fact that we got to watch every host do something they enjoyed and have fun with that. That is what made the programs. For me. Not everyone gets to do what they love to do for a “job”, but some are blessed , and we were blessed because we got to sit in with you. Thanks for some of the best entertainment and learning experience I’ve had in a long time. Best to all of you.

[@themessy001]

17:30 Doesnt make enough money for them! Roadkill is the ONLY reason I ever subbed to Motortrend. I cant get enough of you guys, the show was amazing. I hope you can get something together and do something similar on KZbin.

[@richardleser6505]

I now understand what happened to Roadkill but for all the people in this show and all those who helped make this show. Thank so much !! It’s been a real great if not the greatest car show. Your ability has not been erased and I will definitely help support you, buying merchandise and whatever else. Thanks again!!

[@themueth]

43:37 this makes me happy, coming from the world of reality tv, the crew that makes it happen often goes unnoticed, thank you for mentioning them.

[@ddog1996]

This intro had no business going that hard. I’m not crying you’re crying. I’ve watched Roadkill since day one. It really hit me hard when I heard the news. I will always be thankful for the drive and joy you guys gave have all given us.

[@1967RTMOPAR]

Nothing ever lasts forever unfortunately, it's all a moment in time, enjoy the moment. Life moves pretty quick, make the most of it. Ever since the Motortrend app stopped for people outside the USA it's been difficult to see episodes. Thanks for giving us great content Mick. Hello from the UK 🇬🇧

[@aidenmckenzie195]

Too bad to see Roadkill go, I dont think you guys realize how far you really reached. You put cleet ahead of you on your scale but I think so many young people started watching roadkill and got that automotive itch before many other channels. Coming from a non hot rod family and not being in an automotive trade I learned more that anyone can imagine watching you guys make rust, run in farmers fields.Thank you Fin and Freiburger for unforgettable entertainment! Going to watch the boatbill episode for the 68th time...

[@FunForAll58008]

@@aidenmckenzie195 i couldn't agree more. They changed the automotive world in my humble opinion

Another victim of Warners rapid over-expansion. I don't see this as the end, I see this as the hosts and hopefully the show too, coming back home

[@amramurphy4931]

Mike, David and The Dulcich, y’all have fans for life. It’s sad that MotorTrend didn’t see the technical information, the joy and motivation you guys gave to the world. I’m glad that you guys can collaborate together now without reservation and can create true masterpieces. Can’t wait for the movie either! Definitely going to watch! From all the motor-heads across the world we salute you and can’t wait for the new incarnation you guys dream up!

[@GarrettCrespo]

Came to this video way too late, but Roadkill is the reason I had the courage to buy a project car and get it running instead of getting it right! They got me into drag racing, modifying, and having fun with cars! Even when the cars let you down. Thank you for so many years of amazing memories and inspiring content! Can’t wait to see what all of you do next! ❤

[@ABSINTHEMINDEDPROFESSOR]

no sir, THANK YOU! and Mr. Freiberger for keeping my ass well entertained for 13 years.

[@williambremner9022]

Add Lucky Costa's channel link to your list dude. Thanks for 13 yrs of amazing automotive mayhem! You guys laid down the gold standard. Can't wait to see what come next. Enjoy your beer...you've damn well earned it!

[@HPSFRoadrunner]

Props and good luck to all the 'behind-the-scenes' people that made the show possible. Thanks for all the laughs and learning. I am sure this isn't the end of ROADKILL!

[@HPSFRoadrunner]

...victim of corporate GREED.

[@Bennyboysspeedshop]

I have been watching Roadkill since the first episode here on KZbin. It is the reason I got my project truck, then another car, then another truck. None work but I've been having so much fun. I even started my own channel to hopefully be like you guys. To be honest, life got a bit dark there and watching your videos and working on cars got me back to a safe place. Almost didn't make it. You guys made me realize the impact cars have on people of all ages. I work now as a mental health therapist with kids with all sorts of trauma and hope to one day open an automotive shop/therapy clinic for kids to help them. Its really emotional watching all those channels come to an end but I'm excited to see the future. I will be a forever fan of you all. Hopefully when I get the therapy shop thing going, we can convince you guys to come by and do burnouts in the parking lot. Thanks for all the laughs. Thanks for saving me.

[@Qwazier3]

Stubby Bob sticking that trailer hitch....best day at work ever. I'm so sad he drives off into history along with Roadkill.

[@cheechmagee8512]

Real talk,..IF you want to keep going, and make more shows, pursue David’s idea again of starting and owning a media company. Take all the hosts, all the crew people, and make another attempt. The fan base is here to support you, put it behind a paywall. I’d be willing to pay as a show of support for your time and efforts. I’m sure many others would agree.

[@TG-wf6ln]

THIS!

[@jerfizzle]

Putting a previously free and popular youtube show behind the Motortrend paywall is what started the decline of Roadkill in the first place and led to this

[@cheechmagee8512]

@@jerfizzle Respectfully, I disagree.

[@XanderH4W6]

​@@jerfizzlehow did that start the end when MOD started in 2015 and it's currently 2024. If you couldn't be bother to pay $5 a month to keep watching Roadkill and all the other shows they produced you missed out. I gladly supported the guys that way from 2016 until WarnerBros pulled the MotorTrend tile off Prime Video. I don't mean to sound harsh but I can't stand how many Roadkill fans still whine about $5 a month ffs.

I’d pay for Roadkill Dirt every day Hot rod garage Ect. Anything with the David’s, Dave’s, Fin, Lucky, Steve, Alex, Tony. I’ll pay for.

We lost the shop shirts need to happen , we as fans will continue to support you and your friends 🤙🏼

[@CameronElliott-nn3co]

I learned so much from ROADKILL and became a better "out of the box" thinker from watching the show. From sneaking episodes on the computer lab's computer in HS (and getting in trouble) to watching episodes on duty during the holidays... ROADKILL will forever be my favorite show. I can't wait to see what y'all do in the future. I know it will be epic; filled with rust, oil stained pavement and rod knocking engine pumped full of NOS!

[@HighRevNation]

Now it's our part to step up! Lucky for me, you got a merch store that has a lot of options!

I've been watching roadkill since the beginning. I've always wanted a roadkill shirt, BUT now I'm not giving any money to MT or whoever owns them. I will continue to buy my FSM and DF merch. Because it supports YOU guys. From the bottom of my heart Finn, Thank you for all of these years.

[@thomassjcowley]

Well that was a damned emotional first 5 minutes of that video and I recognised pretty much every single episode in it and that was a significant chunk of time-out in my life over the last 13 years. Loved you from when I caught the first episode. You and the Roadkill team are epic. Very best regards from the Isle of Wight in England.

[@DanPalmer79]

Thanks for the ride guys! We will see you on your channels.

What comes next involving Finn And Fry will be even better, we aint scared.

[@NoBody89000]

So many years ago, I ran across a video on KZbin that has been posted for a week.. Video was a couple guys doing something so stupid as buying a car they knew nothing about, wrenching, driving it across states. It was insane. My son watched it with me, we both got into it, started watching every episode that was posted, every episode once it went to MotorTend. That show, was Roadkill. It gave me something my son and I could do together, enjoy, talk about, get outside and wrench on our own cars. I know everything comes to an end, but I was in no way ready for this. I hope you and David can find happiness, achieve greatness, and find a way to keep doing things you love. I wish you guys nothing but love.

[@muserediscovered3750]

Well shit. Been digging Frei and Finn's respective YT channels lately so I'm sure we will still be able to get our RK-esque fix there now. This is not the end but a new beginning. Nice montage BTW.

[@dana.7500]

I remember TNN back in the mid-90s, shows like Horsepower, Hot Rodding, and Car and Driver. Then Speedvision came with the same or similar shows. Discovery in the mid-2000s with all the chopper builds and Monster Garage era. Then, Velocity. Thankfully, youtube exists and anybody can create content.

[@audikris]

You and Dave F need to just do your own thing. KZbin can handle it, we'll all pay to watch it.
