WHAT'S REALLY GOIN ON?!

[@henrysmith8012]

I worked all summer when I was 16, saved all my money and bought my first camaro. My dad freaked, I had to make an appointment to use the garage. He put me on a time limit. At 2:00 in the morning I fired up the fresh smallblock with open headers, it did not go well. Later on in life he apologized and said he got it, he was not into hot rods but he understood. I still have my second camaro. My dad never rode in any of them. I still miss him at 63.

[@a4000t]

Its was a 70 Chevelle s/s for me.. went similar to what your story was even tho he was a mechanic,he never had much interest in my car or ever rode in it. Ironically my mom liked my car and helped here and there.

[@haworthlowell805]

Ah yes, back when you could make enough over the summer to afford a car. They cost as more than houses did when I was a kid. Im not even that old.

[@Texas21Texas]

My passion started with my 96 ram 2500 Cummins when i was in high school (didn't help as my friend had a 02 ram Cummins built for sled pulling). After that i was hooked wish i had that truck but it was only a 2wd auto flavor. Then it evolved to a 11 ram hemi added custom 93 tune. And was wicked for a plug and play but made a bad choice and traded it because 4x4 is needed

Hey Finnigan and Newbern, I’m a big fan of roadkill and your channel. Very glad blasphemi is back and running again. Not sure if anyone here is aware, but Cleetus McFarland’s freedom factory is in danger of eventually being shut down. A developer wants to build 2700 homes right next to the track. The plan was already passed at the county level, and has since gone to the state where is will definitely be passed. There isn’t much that can be done but he needs all the support he can get. His channel has more info. The Freedom Factory and Bradenton Motorsports Park need to be protected. Too many racetracks and drag strips across the US have already been shut down.

[@FinnegansGarage]

That completely sucks! Cletus has done so much for the motorsports community. It would be a damn shame if some greedy realtors screwed up his racetrack.

Long time listener, 1st time caller here; been a fan since the OG YT Roadkill days. Greetings from Southern Oregon! I watched this entire episode(as well as the 1st one), enjoyed every moment of it and wanted to share this regarding the 10mm gag. There is a strange thing amongst SOME jeepers, to place a small rubber ducky on another (strangers) jeep somewhere as if to say, nice jeep, you've been "ducked". I encourage you to google this strange phenomenon but I also wanted to share that some people don't get or do the whole ducking thing and, someone (an Oregonian jeeper) has started a new/better movement that seems to be catching on and that is to leave a 10mm instead! again, google it, and maybe with your help we can make this become the standard, leave a 10mm on a strangers car as if to say, nice ride, hers something you may even need. that is all...

Its candied fruit used in fruit cakes typically. You can buy it seperately in the baking aisle at most grocery stores. The best fruit cakes use liquor in them (rum is typical in my family). Also suggestion for a future mail opening video.... Have your wife off-camera on the other side of the table providing commentary for the presents. Also a bucket of ice and some tumblers ready to go to chill the fruitdew (or any whiskey you're sent).

C10 kinda sounds like the issue was having with my 350 jeep. Bosch wideband failed quickly, so it would hit closed loop and dump fuel then struggle to run. Apparently this is common of the sensor and the fix that also worked for me is to buy the $200 NTK sensor from holley. Make sure you change the software before plugging it in or damage can occur, so it says. On a terminator system as well.
