Roadkill (2012–2020): Season 4, Episode 10 - Roadkill - full transcript

Freiburger and Finnegan travel to Santa Rosa, California, to drive a crazy '74 Mazda REPU mini-truck all the way back to SoCal, where they'll compete in Optima's Search for the Ultimate Street Car Challenge.

- This is the new episode of Road Kill,

but you know what?

There is another one that
you can watch right now

Yep, you can go there now and subscribe

and get 30 days early access
to every episode of Road Kill.

- [Mike] And on this episode,

we're going to prove that a
$5,000 mini truck can hang

with $50,000 muscle cars at Optima Search

for the Ultimate Street Car Challenge.

- [David] It's the extra $45,000

for keeping the wheel from falling off.



- Now I believe that's for the ambulance.

Hold on.

- Ohh.

(car engine passing)

(brakes screeching)

(rock-n-roll music)

(car engine passing)

- [David] We're in Santa Rosa, California

and this is the first time
that I've ever seen this truck

that I bought to surprise Finnegan.

I saw it on the internet

and I'm like that is what we have to have.

This isn't going to seem as
exciting as what's been...

- [Mike] What did you buy me?



- [David] Built-top.

- What did you buy me?

- But I will say.

- Huh.

- [David] It has an engine
- [Mike] Aww.

- That we have never messed
with before on Road Kill.

- [Mike] That is cool.

- [David] You know what it is?

- What is this?

- This is a '74 Mazda REPU.

You know what that means?

Rotary engine pick-up.

- [Mike] Can I keep this?

- It's good, right?

- I love it!

It's almost too nice.

- [David] You want to check it out?

- [Mike] This thing is awesome.

What, it has bucket seat already?

Wait a minute,

that's the gas tank.

Wait a minute, I've seen this,

oh my God.

(laughing)

It's a 455 Olds

- [David] With boat headers!

- [Mike] Oh my God.

(laughing)

This is the greatest truck ever.

- [David] Isn't it?

And it has like a Schneider cam in it

and Demon carb and the whole deal.

- [Mike] Oh my God, this
is a poor man's Porsche.

- [David] No, it's a Mazderati.

- I can't, will it do wheeleys?

- The guy we bought it
from claims that it runs 10

and claims it will do wheeleys.

- (grasping) We have to find out.

- Isn't this the greatest ever?

- I'm in love with this.

I'd absolutely,

I don't want to change anything.

This is amazing.

- I know!

- Holy crap.

We're going to knock it out
of the park on this one.

He combined two of my
favorite things in life,

mini-trucks and boat-motors.

And admittedly, the 455
Olds in the boating world

is what's referred to as an anchor

because they just blow up there.

They're not good motors.

But when you put it in the bed of this,

suddenly it's okay with me.

It's the greatest engine on the planet.

- The guy claims that he
bought this to go drag racing

and he took it to the track once

and got thrown out because it went 10.

There, now it will break.

- There's only one question now.

Can you make it wheeley like a boat?

- Out of the guy's driveway?

- Yes!

(chuckling)

- I would like to.

- Dare ya.

- So here's something
really important to know,

Park.

You got first, second, third.

- Wow.

- No neutral lock out.

Yeah, that will take some getting used to.

The plan now is that we
have to drive the thing

about seven hours home

and do some tinkering with it

and then run the thing at the
Ultimate Street Car Challenge,

which is happening in Fontana, California

at the speedway.

Is that thing going to perform well?

It really doesn't matter,

because have you seen that thing?

- That's good.

(car engine roaring)

(laughing)

- All the noise is back there.

(tires screeching)

(laughing)

- [Mike] That wasn't very good,

but it did it.

(laughing)

Definitely did it.

- [David] Oh yeah.

That was like going to
your very first two feet

of driving a vehicle or burn out.

- Ughhh, no.

- Oh, you're kidding me.

You are kidding me.

- [Mike] You just got popped.

- [David] Wow.

- That was two of them.

- Yeah, I think I should've just park.

He's not coming.

- Wow.

Go get a lotto ticket right now.

- Exactly.

- And put gas in the tank 'cause we nuts.

- [David] Yeah.

He is coming.

(laughing)

It just took him a while.

(guitar music)

- No.
- [David] Oh.

Either that or he's going
to pull over in front of me.

I think that's what he's going to do,

no.

- [Mike] I know.
- [David] Very strange.

- [Mike] Look at his,
looking for somebody else.

- Yep.

- [David] Well, I've rode
three blocks in the Mazderati

and my fear level is increased.

Whew,

oh yeah the breaks are,

yeah, look at that.

Oh something is seriously
wrong with the front end.

Feel it?

Yeah, this demands improvement.

I like it.

- [Mike] It's so much po10tial.

The suspension situation is unfortunate

considering we going to a road race.

(chuckling)

- [Mike] Maybe it'll get
better the further we drive.

(laughing)

(car engine roaring)

I feel reasonably safe in this.

I love this truck.

- [David] It's the mini muscle truck

or is it the Mazderati?

- [Mike] Repo?

- [David] Repo.

(laughing)

The low rider was
hilarious in its own way,

but this is the finest bit
of engineering in style.

- [Mike] And the low rider was like epic

in a disposable kind of way.

- Yeah.

- I want to take this
home and cuddle with it.

- Yeah.

- It's different high.

(country music)

- [David] Shocker,

we've made it all the way to San Francisco

with no trouble so far,

which was kind of of a miracle

because the engineering on this thing

is sub-road kill at best.

The 455 Oldsmobile is
attached to a transaxle

that you would've found in say
a 1969 Oldsmobile Toronado.

Both the Toronado and
the Cadillac Eldorado

were front-wheel drive big V-8 cars

that used this transaxle.

The basically use is turbo 400 guts.

It's kind of a genius, actually.

And it's installed in the
truck with 69 Corvette A-arms

and brakes and custom half-shafts.

Not very elegance,

but functional.

Remember that time when the
crusher Camaro in the freeway

pulled it down into first
in about 80 miles an hour.

- Nah.

- [David] If you do that in this,

it goes into park.

(laughing)

(engine pop)

(laughing)

- It's quite a machine.

(upbeat music)

- [Mike] This is probably one
of the few places on Earth

where having this truck,

which means you have less game

then if you were driving a Prius.

(car engine roaring)

- It won't do it.

- 10s.

It runs 10s.

- Oh my God.

What if we get stuck up here, dude?

- [David] The hilly part is coming.

- I thought this was it.

- No, look at the map.

Check it out.

- Whoa.

- [David] Keep off walls and roadway.

That's a tip for you.

- I'll try.
- [David] Keep off walls.

- I'll try.

- [David] That's pretty amazing.

- [Mike] Former knot knocks,

ready to go?

(car engine roaring)

- [David] 10.

- 10.

- [David] It's a really cool truck.

I like it,

but it might have been
oversold just a little bit.

- Yeah, maybe a little bit.

(car engine roaring)

- [David] We kind of did the
tourist thing in San Francisco

and burns some time,

but no big deal.

The truck is running perfectly

and we should be able to swoop down

into the LA area tomorrow with no problem.

(relaxing music)

- [David] We've just drove
about 40 or 50 miles.

75 to 80 miles an hour.

(car engine roaring)

And she's leaking oil

from a lot of different
orifices right now.

- I might pass this, am I?

Whoa.

(chuckling)

- We're rolling down the highway.

This thing's running terrible
and running pretty hot

and then we discover this.

Pretty much infinite variable
timing adjustment there.

Can you hook this to the alternator?

Is it too closed to the head to attach?

- Yeah.

Bad things are going to
happen if it falls off.

(engine starting)

So we just try to reset the timing

and

we can't find the timing mark.

(engine starting)

- That's a good fire

- Fire.
- [David] Here, watch.

It'll get bigger.

- [Mike] Aw yeah.

(laughing)

- There we go.

- I guess tighten it up and...

- Oh yeah.

It's perfect.

It'll runs 10 now.

(laughing)

- Well the 455 Olds turns
out to be kind of a turd.

So we made a new plan.

We're going to take
this thing to our buddy

at Westech Performance
in Mira Loma, California

and strap it to the chassis dyno

for a tune-up before we head
to the Optima Challenge.

- This is new.

It did not like that timing at all.

- [Mike] I don't want to
be anywhere near that.

- So I think,

we're going to sit it for a while

and let it cool down

and we're going to have to regroup

and figure out what to do.

Maybe Westech will let
us run in the morning.

Maybe we'll just show up
at the Optima Challenge

as complete leakers.

(car engine roaring)

This is a pick-up truck.

When air flows over these things

and I know this from aerodynamicists

and racing bionicles and such.

It reconnects like here.

It's horrible.

It leaves a giant vacuums right here,

literally a vacuum where
there's no air flow.

When we're driving, I'd stick
my hands outside the back

and it feels hot right here

with just stagnant air,

where as there's airflow right here.

This is the worst possible
place to put the radiator,

which we did not do as you know,

but we're going to fix that with ducting.

Three of these right across the roof,

which are going to fit perfectly

with ducts right down into the radiator.

- Well, yes.

Yes, it is.

- It's going to be good.

- Look at how much we care.

- This is how much we care.

- Toolbox liners to protect the roof.

- [David] Yep.

There's actual engineering to this.

- Engineers everywhere
are shaking their heads.

(muffles)

- Right now,

if you pull over...
- [David] (muffles)

- They're losing it right
now on the internet.

You idiots!

- Yeah.

- They're throwing rolls
of actual duct tapes

at their computer screens right now.

- I would just go ahead and tuck it in.

- My pipe's so big, I can't tuck it in.

Oh my God, this is amazing.

- [David] Yeah, imagine three of them.

- That is amazing.

- Yep.

- Oh my God, that is amazing.

- Yeah.

- This is some Darth Vader
looking **** right here.

That's going to be on there
for two, three years, at least.

- [David] Really?

- Before it needs a touch-up.

- If you think this is butchered,

wait until you see what's
going to happen next.

- Now she truly does
have junk in the trunk.

- Pretty good?

- Oh dude.

- But this side, I can't do that.

- [Mike] I want people to
know we invest in this.

The zip ties are good enough
to install a fuel pump.

The C-clamps are good enough
to hold a fan shroud in.

- [David] I feel like
we can add one more here

and it wouldn't be like over-kill.

Oh, this is some
back-to-the-future level stuff.

- [Mike] Does it needs more or is it good?

- [David] Wait a minute,

it's 2015.

The Cubs have win the World Series.

We go back to the future,

this is going to work.

(car engine roaring)

Oh this is flawless.

- Yeah, the tubes aren't even moving.

- [David] Not even.

- You know why they're not moving?

- [Both] Because there's no fresh area.

- [David] Yeah.

We've just proved the theory.

We've stop to get gas

and I glanced over at these things

and I'm like hey,

I have a flapper valve venom.

These are one way.

These are vents, not scoops.

And so now we're pulling the screens off

and taping these up

because we're that good.

This is the most genius
thing we've ever done.

- [David] I would call us
really smart innovators

except for bahumbug guys
that have been doing this,

since like you know 1958.

- [Mike] Yeah, but not
in a rear engine Mazda

in Sahachi Beach.

- [David] No one's done that.

- On Thursday.

- I think we have a win.

- Oh, most definitely.

- Major success.

(car engine roaring)

- Yesterday was kind of debacle,
but we made it to Westech.

We're here this morning

and we have our garbage
truck for the dyno.

First thing we're going to do is run it

just to find out how
pathetic it actually is

and then we're going to
try to make it better.

But we always have to guess first

what kind of power it's going to make.

I'll give it 245 at the wheel.

Lets see what Finnegan says.

- Hold on, let me check.

Yeah, the astronomy says 220 max.

It's a pile.

(engine roaring)

- Oh.

(engine popping)

(laughing)

170, you were right the first time.

- [Mike] Wow.

- [David] That is pathetic.

- [Mike] 10 seconds truck, huh?

- It makes 312 lb-ft in 170 horsepower.

We need to fix that.

- Okay.

Let's uncork it.

- Cool.

Look at that.

- Oh, that's going to help blow.

So that's a four inch collector

trying to go through an
inch and a half square.

- It's going to help a little flow.

- We're going to make it at least 200 now.

- Think so?

- Forget about this.

(laughing)

(car engine roaring)

- Wow, smooth it out a lot.

- We lost power.

- So, what happen just there
is we pulled the mufflers out,

which made it super super lean.

It was way too rich without them

because it was essentially corked up.

Before we mess with that,

we're going to verify
the ignition timing on it

so we don't complete blow it up

'cause when we were trying to do it

on the side of the road the other day

we couldn't see the mark at all.

We're going to try to make that right.

- If this doesn't make 200 of the tires,

you pretty much just
set the engine on fire.

- [David] I did that yesterday, remember?

Meanwhile, this is really good.

- This works great.

Yeah, five and seven are swapped.

- Five and seven swapped.

- And three looks burnt.

- [David] Yeah, three
was touching the header.

It was more wires right here.

So this dangler is junk now?

Burnt.

- [Mike] Yeah.

- Okay.

Well, let's run it again.

I bet it starts better now too.

- Probably.

(laughing)

(car engine starting)

- Ugh, that sounds much better.

Ugh, that sets off car alarm now.

That's good.

It's going to be so fast
now as eight cylinders.

- [David] So I got to leave in
10 minutes to pick up my kids

so you're going to be on your own.

I expect this thing to run
10s by the time I get back.

- No pressure.

- The plan tomorrow show up
first thing in the morning

like 7am

and sign up for the Optima
Ultimate Street Car Event.

It's the Ultimate Street
Car Racing Association

and we're going to do an auto cross,

a speed stop challenge

and a big open road race

and Finnegan's driving

because I'm not.

- I think we're going to have
to bribe our way through tech

'cause I don't know about
the other competitors,

but I wouldn't want to be
behind this on the race track

after it dumps a quart of ATF
of motor oil on the surface.

10 seconds truck.

(engine roaring)

(alarm set off)

Well, it's smooth now.

We have an actual curve to look at

instead of a roller coaster we had before,

but we're now making 401 lb-ft of torque

and 250 horsepower at 3500 rpm,

which is way better than it used to be,

but not nearly to its potential.

Well, this junk isn't
exactly making the power

that we would hope for,

but it's probably good enough for us

as we enter the Optima
Challenge tomorrow morning.

(tires screeching)

- [David] We've made it.

This is Auto Club Speedway
in Fontana, California.

The event is an Ultimate
Street Car Association Race.

It's sponsored by Optima

and it is a multi-tiered competition.

There is going to be a road rally.

They're got autocross,
speed stop challenge,

and then a big road course.

We're going to attempt
to do it in our pile

of our Mazda pick-up with
a 450 volts in the back,

but we already have a glitch this morning.

- [Mike] It's a beautiful day in Fontana

and it would even be better

if I had a set of tires to race on

that actually fit the truck.

Back, that's okay.

Front, not so much.

This friends,

is a 20 years old set
of Uniroyal Tire Paw,

the same tires I had on
my camaro in high school.

Not good,

and we planned on replacing them

with a brand new set of
Continental Extreme Contact,

an excellent tire,

which would be awesome if
that can actually fit the car.

Dave ordered a set of wheels

and the fender is still
siting on the tire.

So we can't exactly go
racing with this these.

- [David] So apparently, this is the truck

that Finnegan is precious about.

We get a Mazda mini truck

and Finnegan refuses to
size all the fenders.

Go figure.

- [Mike] Who ordered the wheels?

- I did.

Sight unseen, guessing.

- [Mike] I'm not judging you,

just brought it out there.

- I asked the guy.

He gave me measurements.

I ordered the best I could.

- Is this the same guy

that told you it was a 10 second truck?

- Yeah.

- [Mike] With pop wheeleys and...

Alright, so we have tires.

We just need rims.

- [David] Yeah, if we had a wheel

with more back spacing, right?

- A lot more.

So the bumper here is like,

this whole deal starts soon

and there's no tire shops over now.

So we either race on these all weekends

because we can't change them

or sit around and wait
for a tire shop to open.

- You said they won't tech these?

- They look at them and went dude, no.

I said don't worry,

we got new tires coming.

They'll be here in the morning.

I'll start googling tire shops.

This is Freiburger's credit's card.

That is a truck with ball tires.

I'm making sure *** happens right now.

(car engine roaring)

Okay, so I went to the
tire store to get tires

and what's your name?

- David.

- [Mike] David made me do a burn out

in the parking lot on my way out.

(laughing)

And what happened, David?

- Broke the U-joint.

(tires screeching)

(guitar music)

(muffles)

- [Mike] David is going
to help me fix this now.

I think we should replace
all the U-joints now

that we've broken one.

Again, who's fault is it?

- Guess it's mine.

(laughing)

- [Mike] Like you said,

at least it happened here
and not at the race track.

That right there is going to be an issue,

that's where the U-joint broke

and it was spinning around.

That's the ball of bolts heads.

It'll takes some work to get that off.

(delightful guitar music)

- [David] We've got our
tire problems solved

and that tire shop fixed
our broken U-joint.

We've got the truck all sticker up

and looking like a race car,

but now we got to go figure out something

that is going wrong with the carburetor.

- Well, that's all you
got to do to test this.

We don't need any room.

(car braking)

- That dies.

- [Both] Uh-huh.

- Our demon car basically is leaking

every time I break even remotely hard.

Fuel is being pulled out of
the boosters into the car

and because the throttle blades are shut,

it's making the engine shut off.

(engine roaring)

- Worst.

So what's happening here

is that the rear float level is too high

and when he stops,

it's gushing fuel not out the vent tube,

which is normal,

but it's coming out the booster.

So I've had to put the rear
float bolt level really low

so that it doesn't dump gas in the engine

as it comes to a stop.

There we go.

(car engine roaring)

Fixed!

- Sweet.

Nice works!

- Two simple tools.

(car engine roaring)

Well, I've fixed the dying problem.

We haven't fix the break problem.

We're about to fix the oil problem.

- And there isn't any.

- Yeah, you can't have
a problem with the oil

when you don't have any, right?

- Are we putting training fluids in

or just ignoring that?

- We have nothing resembling a funnel so

that means it's good.

- Alright.

Okay, this is our first
shot at the autocross.

What've we done so far?

We've have flown to Santa Rosa,

bought a 74 Mazda off of
Craigslist that legibly ran 10s,

but really was like 20s.

We fixed the cooling system.

We did not touch the breaks

or the suspensions

or the bushings

or the seat belts.

So I predict extreme amounts of mediocrity

out of this right now.

Oh, and did I mentioned?

I haven't even seen the track yet.

Here comes Road Kill.

(car engine roaring)

(country music)

Common baby.

This is actually pretty good.

- There he goes for his
very first autocross path.

Oh, he even got a little over-steer.

- [Mike] Whoa.

- [David] He's never been
around this track before.

We've seen how that usually ends.

- Ha, I'm a little bit lost.

Uh-oh.

Motor's fogging.

Oh, nice.

(laughing)

- [Mike] Three seconds into the run,

the engine is sputtering.

It's coughing and ultimately
it just shuts off.

I'm coasting across the finish line

so the truck's got all kinds of potential

if we can just get it on right.

Motor's not happy at all.

(muffles)

That was fun.

- [David] That actually looks pretty good.

I thought it was going to
under-steer a lot worst,

but he was actually over-steering
and had some control.

- [Voiceover] You ran a 58.

- Is that good?

(laughing)
- [Voiceover] Pretty good.

- I need to go drive a rear engine Porsche

because I think that's
what's going to be like.

- Really?

- Yeah, the under-steer
I was worried about,

not there at all.

And I didn't have to break
that often which was good

'cause the breaks are horrible.

The problem now is in the
S, the motor shut off.

- Well, we have rescue right here.

This guy's going to loan us a screwdriver

and a plier-ace so we can fix it.

- Yeah, put the magic touch on this

and we can go faster

'cause it went up 58

and the motor was off for
at least 4 or 5 seconds

more than once during the run.

- So I just need to drop,

you think both of them a little bit,

quarter turn?

- Yeah,

no the only bummer about it

is it doesn't under-steer.

What it does do is you're
going, you're gripping

and the back of this thing wants
to come all the way around.

- We saw that.

I thought it was good.

You recovered it.

Let's do it again!

I thought I had the carburetor dialed in,

but when Finnegan went
out on the autocross,

the engine kept dying

and it seem like it was still flooding.

It was like starved for fuel

or it was choking on fuel.

- Oh, if the motor would stay running,

I could go so much faster.

- I was messing around
with flow adjustments.

We're playing around with the squirter

and all of a sudden,

we noticed the thing had no fuel pressure.

- Wait a minute, do we
even have fuel pressure?

- [David] No.

The problem the whole time
was a clog in the fuel filter.

We got that thing blown out

and finally Finnegan was able
to go out on the autocross

and get a clean run.

- Alright Mazdog.

You and me, let's do this.

(car engine roaring)

Common baby, common.

Not bad so far.

Ohhh.

Saves it, kind of.

Common baby, climb.

Common baby (muffles)

- [Voiceover] Survey says.

- Whew.

- [Voiceover] 55-34, best pass of the day.

- $5,000,

a little bit of elbow grease,

we're only a 4.5 seconds behind a GTR.

- [David] Yeah.

- [Mike] A GTR folks.

- [Both] All wheel drive.

- Turbo.

And that guy's probably
a professional driver.

- That's only 4 seconds.

- Only.

The best part about this truck

is the front wheel driver
old Toronado axle stuffed

in the back of it

because you would think
this thing would under-steer

and it doesn't.

Not at all.

It just grips, grips, grips,

and then it spins out,

which is what I did on my last run

and you know what,

I don't care because
this is a $5,000 truck

we bought off of craigslist,

spend a couple hours working on

and it's almost hanging with super-cars

because Road Kill.

(rock music)

- [David] It's Sunday morning

and we're all pump up
to hit the road course,

but first, we got to
swallow some humiliation.

We're going to go through the
judging portion of the program,

which is mandatory at
the Optima Challenge.

They're going to look over
the truck for engineering

and fit and fitment and amenities

and all sort of stuff and
we will prove to be mint.

- And we didn't want to fatigue

the car stereo battery wiring
by zip-tying it rigidly

so we just let it move around and flex.

- Tell us about the paint.

- It's there.

- All of it?

- Original.

- It's factory, one owner.

- Then a custom cooling?

- Right.

Not everyone has that.

- What happened to the center one?

- [David] He had to..
- [Mike] Had to see

on the road, of course.

- Ahh, people are on unrealistic rules.

- We're all about the safety.
- [Mike] We think safety

first.

(laughing)

- [David] All about safety.

There are three run groups

at Optima Events for the run course.

There's novice, intermediate, and advance.

Where did you think we landed?

Well, Finnegan signed up for novice

so that he wouldn't
end up knocking anybody

out of their competition
because this is a points meet,

but that meant that he
was not going to be able

to pass any cars.

- I don't think they have
a lot of faith in me.

All I said was I needed to
be behind somebody to follow

'cause I've never been on the track before

and there's about 10 people in front of me

and two behind me

and they're still telling me
to go to the back of the line.

No faith.

Oh, here we go.

This is the first time we've
ever driven this thing fast.

(Exciting music)

- [David] Now Finnegan's
on the road course

and honestly, this is where
I'm happy it's not me.

There's some high speeds involved here

and the truck's breaks are sketchy at best

and Finnegan claims this thing
turns in better than expected

but I'm thinking that's
not a real high bar.

- [Mike] Whoa.

Uh-oh, uh-oh.

These brakes...

Oh, not good.

Not good, okay.

I can smell though

and I really can't feel them.

- [David] Man, the Mazderati is out there

and it's not too embarrassing.

I expected it to have puked
oil or overheated at this point

or spun off the track or something,

but he's hanging in there

and in fact, I can't help but noticed

that the Corvette in front of him

is not exactly running
away from the Mazda.

It's almost like this isn't Road Kill.

- I'm not going to lie,
this is so much fun.

- And we're having fun for five grand,

which was too much to paid for that turd,

but that's not important right now

'cause Finnegan's really happy.

- Road coursing with four wheel drag race.

Uh-oh.

I almost went off.

Let's see if they black lightening.

- You're going to blow up yet?

- Miraculously, it's still running.

- I don't see fluids or
connecting rods falling out of it.

- 210 degrees, the cooling system rocks.

- That's amazing.

AC plumping for the win.

- I love Home Depot.

- We're going to need you to just pull up

and catch that Corvette.

- I'm literally on his
back bumper right now.

- [David] This is probably pretty fun.

I'm kind of jealous.

(car engines roaring)

The Mazda has survive 15 minutes of abuse

at the hands of Finnegan at
Auto Club Speedway in Fontana.

I'm going to alert the media.

Survival, I think that's the main thing

that we can claim here.

We ended up not running
every single element

of competition at the Optima event,

but we had a riot

and that was the point the whole time.

Optima is the official
battery of Road Kill

and they wanted us to do
this basically to show you

that you can show up at one of these

Ultimate Street Car Events

and have a riot without
having to spend $100,000

on a Pro Touring Camaro or Sevelle

and we did it.

The thing is we fell
in love with the truck

at the same time.

Yeah, it's got a whole lot of trouble,

but Finnegan and I have
been going back and forth.

Should we hop up the Oldsmobile?

Should we put a big block Chevy in it?

Maybe a turbo LS motor.

All I know is this thing's
going to hang around.

It is now part of the Road Kill family

and so you will see it
again here on Road Kill.

(muffles)

- You know what the real bummer is here?

If this was a Chevy Love, we
can call it the Love Muscle.

- Three words of advice.

- [All] EFI.

(laughing)

- You got it.

- How's your sweat?

- Present and accounted for.

- The transgression, I think is okay.

- That's hot!

- Really?

- That's really hot.

(burp)

Excuse me.

$5000 folks, get yourself some of this.

Aww, I can't believe I'd
just said it out loud.

- [David] This one's smoking.

The other one is not.

- Let me check under the hood.

- Let's just make sure that's not on fire.

- That's break smoke, huh?

- Yeah.

It's fine.

- I got an idea.

- Ha?

- I'll loan you my sweating
driving suit and helmet,

you go out there.

- No thanks, I'm good.

(laughing)

- Around the Bay Bridge

and now I got Journey's stuck in my head.

♫ Living in a lonely world

♫ She took the midnight train

♫ Goin' anywhere

♫ Just a city boy

♫ Born and raised in South Detroit

♫ Hold on to that feelin'

♫ When the lights go down in the city

♫ Who I want to be there in the city

♫ Anywhere you wanted

♫ That' the way you needed

♫ Anywhere you wanted ♫

(laughing)
