Roadkill (2012–2020): Season 4, Episode 3 - Roadkill - full transcript

- [David] Three of the
most powerful machines

you can buy today come from Dodge.

And we've got them all.

The Hellcat Twins, and
the track ready Viper SRT.

Today, Motortrend's going to
find out which one is king.

- Hell no.

This is Roadkill.

(car engine hums)

(tires screech)

(big cat roar)

(energetic rock music)



(tires squeal)

- [Mike] Can you believe it?

Roadkill is going to
be sponsored by Dodge.

Yeah, like the guys who
make these new Hellcat V8's

and the Viper, and they gave
us these cars to play with.

Check it out.

First up is the Charger Hellcat.

The most bitchin' family car ever.

The four door with 707 horsepower,

and 650 pound feet of torque,
all from a supercharged

6.2 liter Hemi V8

Then there's the Challenger Hellcat.

This car is actually a little
bit slower in top speed,

because of aerodynamics.



They say it'll run around 199,
but we've witnessed this car

run 10 80's in the quarter
mile on drag radials.

It'll run 11 20's on street tires.

And again, it's got that 707
horsepower Hellcat motor.

And then, at the top of
the pile, the Viper GT.

Dodge's hand built super car.

Seriously, hand laid
carbon fiber, hand painted,

hand stitched interior, we
don't care about any of that,

because this thing has an 8.4 liter

645 horsepower V10, and a
claimed top speed of 206 mph.

What's really funny, is they also say

that this Viper will
get 20 miles per gallon,

and I guarantee you we will
not find out if that's true

on this episode of Roadkill.

- We're going to go wreck some
junk before they figure it out.

Somebody at Dodge is going to
watch the show at some point,

and go, hey wait a second, no.

- They're going to go,
step into my office.

Why?

'Cause you're fired.

(loud laughs)

Why would you give
those idiots three cars?

We're pretty far out of our league

with these cars, and so
we called in some help.

Yup, our old friend Larlos
Cago from Motortrend.

- If I didn't know them,

I'd say this is pretty intimidating.

- There's Carlos.

(loud engine growls)

- Thanks for the proper Roadkill greeting.

- And that's how it's done.

Hey, I almost killed the dog, c'mere.

We brought the real talent.

- Of course.

I'm wondering what I'm doing in the middle

of an abandoned airport in Irvine.

- I heard you were bringing the food.

- This is like we want
to get warmed up on the

Motor Trend head to head program.

The deal is, we figured out,
Dodge is sponsoring us now.

- [Carlos] Okay.

- Someone at Dodge is eventually
going to watch Roadkill,

and realize this is a bad idea,

so we got to get the
cars while we've got 'em,

and derby the absolute wee out of them.

- Before they figure it out.

- Before they figure it out.

- You want to masquerade this
as some form of head to head.

- Exactly

- okay, okay, well your
typical head to head

uses performance tests,
subjective feedback,

analyzing all the data,
somehow deciding a winner

between the two cars.

- Oh, no, we don't care.

- [Mike] That doesn't sound
like destroy all tires.

- No, (laughs) that doesn't
sound like destroy all tires.

Burnout for distance is what's
going to happen right now.

- Okay, I'm up for that.

- So, there's three of us, three cars.

Ro-sham-bo for which car
you're going to take.

- Ooh.

- Okay, ready?
- [Mike] Yeah.

Smash, last pick.
[Mike] Dang.

- Ready?

- [Mike] God, it's like dodge ball.

- Boom, first pick.

Boom!

- I'll take the Viper.

- Okay.

- Challenger.

- I'll take the station wagon.

Well maybe you should
set the pace with that.

You know, a bogie here.

- [David] We can do that.
- [Carlos] Yeah.

- [David] I have no objection.

- All right, right now
we are going to test

Freiburger's foot dexterity.

He's going to do a burnout
for distance, with a dog,

and a small black Chevy in
the bed of the muscle truck.

Go for it!

(truck screams loudly)

- What does that rank on
the all time list of--

- Both best and worst.
- [Mike] That works.

- 'Cause we've never done this before.

- [Mike] Pretty weak.

- I have confidence in the
Mopar's doing better than that.

- Well they're not carrying
a motor in the bed, either.

- Well, yeah, that's for traction.

- And a dog.

- The dog was helpful.

- [Carlos] For ballast?

- Is that the standard right there?

- Sure.
- [Carlos] Yeah.

- [Mike] Five-ish.
- That sounds right, yeah.

- Can I park this garbage
and let's get to some actual

tire spin.

(truck wheezes to a start)

(truck roars)

- This point is going to be
really good for you and me.

- Yes.

- To be clear, when the tires
stop spinning you lose, right?

- Yes.

- Yes.

- There's no chance you
can bang shift that thing

fast enough so that the
tires spin all the way

from first and second,
and from second to third.

- Okay.
- [Mike] Yup.

- Okay.

- That's what I'm saying.

- That's what you say.

- We will look at the mark on the ground.

- Okay.

- There will be a gap this long
in between first and second.

- Yeah, sure.
- [Mike] Don't lift.

- Not your transmission.

- I have a strategy.

- [David] Yup.
- I have a strategy.

- [David] Okay.

- So, the real secret here is,

I haven't told them how to
turn off traction control.

That's my big secret, big plan.

Their ineptitude dealing
with modern electronics

should help me win.

Now, if I could figure out
how to move the seat forward.

- I've written in my
editorial column four times

that I want a Hellcat.

Finally, they listened.

They're going to be sorry.

- [Voiceover] Five, four, three, two, one.

(engines roar)

- [David] I'm ashamed to admit it,

but Carlos took me to school
on burnouts for distance.

- I think the first session
of the burn out drag race,

is fairly definitive as to who won.

- [David] It is.
- Would you mind saying that?

- Oh no, you dominated,
I'll give it to you.

He cheated.
- [Carlos] Yep.

- You dominated, and I
was completely stand up.

- What's the strategy?

- [David] I left the
thing in first manual,

and just let it hit the
rev limiter and keep in it.

And that actually gave me more distance

to shifting to second.

Now, if you drag the brakes like he did,

you can go pretty much forever.

- [Carlos] Go forever.
- [Mike] Yeah.

- I think we're going to
have to go to the video

so you can be wrong.

I did not drag the brakes even once.

I whole shotted it, after
I warmed up the tires.

Let off the brakes and let it go.

I did not use the brakes
during the burnout.

- So, the best way to do
a long burnout in a Viper,

if you're going for distance,

put it in second, red line the engine,

clutch dump and pray.

- [Mike] Yeah.

- [David] Now in the second competition,

we're going to do burnouts again,

but this time it's an actual race

to see who can cross the finish line,

with the tires on fire,
ahead of the other guys.

(upbeat fast music)

- [Voiceover] Five, four,
three, two, (engines rev) one.

(tires scream and engines roar)

(camera shutter click)

- I beat Carlos (laughs).

- Apparently the technique in this car

is just leave it and drive and mat it.

'Cause I got way more burnout
distance that time, right dog?

- Victory doughnut.

(tires squeal)

- Oh yeah, that was quality.

- Second place.

- Freiburger won that one.
- [Mike] Absolutely.

- I put it just in drive and matted it.

Look how much farther my burnout went

than on my initial run.

- [Carlos] It's all strategy.

- I know it.

I failed on the first time.

I think that might be further than

your Viper burnout in second gear.

- I'm just going to say, the Viper has

the least amount of power here,

and the most amount of tire.

Both in terms of size, and like, compound.

So, I'm working with a disadvantage here.

- But, you're Motor Trend.

- All I'm hearing is blah, blah, blah.

- Motor Trend's numbers are
always faster than reality.

And that's what we're seeing.

- We're just better drivers than reality.

- I see, yeah.

- I tell you what, if you can
open the hood of the Viper

in less than 30 seconds,
I'll trade your cars.

- [Mike] Does it open
forwards or backwards?

I don't know anything about Vipers.

Is there a button inside?

- He is an expert working with cars.

He built the Blasphemy.

He should know how to do this.

- I dunno, how does it open?

Is the engine in the back?

Is that what's going on here?

- That's exactly what it is.

- I dunno, how does it open?

- If you ever see a
Viper in a parking lot,

and you want to screw with the owner,

you take that lever.

- And walk away?

- Don't.

(electric hum)

So as the technical advisor,
Motor Trend representivie here,

I feel like we should talk
about what we've learned

in the past test.

- What I've learned is there's
still tread on those tires.

We need to devise a much more

efficient test at destroying them.

- We run a handling test,
a figure eight, you guys

won't care about that at all,

because we actually measure g-forces

and lap times, and stuff.

- Blah blah.

- What you guys care about is drifting.

- And smoke.

- So we brought in a
professional drifter, Tony,

would you come on in?

- What's up guys?

- Hey.

- What's happening.

- He's going to teach us what to do.

- We're looking to
destroy a bunch of tires,

recklessly, as fast as possible, right?

- That's sort of the goal.

- Perfect, drifting is perfect for that.

- It's Roadkill in a sentence.

- So, I'm going to show
you guys some tips.

And we'll throw you
through a short course.

You'll get three turns each.

And I will judge you on
your best single run.

And we'll find a winner.

- You're the judge?

- [Tony] I'm the judge, also.

- Do you take cash?

- No, I do take cards.

- You take plastic.

- How about random tools?

- [Tony] Tools are great.

- Tires, you need tires.

- Yeah, we always need
tires, so that's perfect.

- So, Charger?

- Yeah, you guys want to hop in
and I'll show you how it goes?

- Shot gun.
- [David] Dog, c'mere.

- All right, so you want
to use weight transfer,

and the throttle in this
thing to get the drift going.

So you're going to go like this.

(tires screech)

Back around.

(tires screech)

- So just one S?

- At the beginning when you said,

that you're going to go like
this, what did you actually do?

- You turn the wheel so
that you get the suspension

loaded one way, and then you cut it back,

and hammer on the gas to
get it to start to rotate.

You're going to roll up.

You're going to turn to the right

with the weight on the outside,

and then cut it back.

Steer it and throttle, then rotate back,

let the wheels spin.

(engine and tires scream)

- [Mike] Cool.

- That was fun.

- Piece of cake.

- I like your job.

That was pretty good.

- [David] The first guy out is going to be

the first chump, so naturally
I put my hand up for that.

And I'm going to go out in the Challenger.

Now, I proved that the
Challenger is capable

of the ultimate burnout,

and I'm probably not going
to show a whole lot of skill

in drifting, but I am going to
give you a lot of tire smoke.

(tires scream)

- Aggressive, no weight transfer.

(tires screech)

- [Mike] Bye bye.

- [Tony] Well, he's got
that forward 280 down.

- So, what do we give
for taking out cones?

That an automatic DNF?

- No, but, well, let's
have like a sliding scale.

We saw that, what do you
want to call that one?

- Very improved this time.

- Not great.

- Yeah, let's do better than that.

We should set the cones
(engine drowns out speech).

- [Mike] I don't think he cares,

because he's probably going
to take 'em out again.

(tires scream)

(loud laughs)

Moving too fast.

(loud laughs)

- [All] Wow!

- [Mike] All of 'em, all of 'em, wow.

- He knows we're not supposed
to hit all the cones, right?

That's.

- I give that a seven out of 50.

- Would you like to
reestablish some cones?

(loud laughs)

- [Carlos] So, the goal
isn't to hit the cones.

- Oh, I thought we were
supposed to wipe 'em all out.

- You did that very well.

You want to go around them.

- Try again, sir.

This time'll be better, I'm sure.

- It's so easy for you to talk now.

- [Mike] I know.

It's amazing.

- Freiburger's last run.

(engine roars)

- Here we go, come on.

- You can do it.

(tires scream)

- [Carlos] Hey!

Not as much--

- Not too bad.

(tires scream)

That's not going to go well.

- [Mike] I wanted to like it, I did.

(car shrieks)

- Now he's not even trying.

- [Mike] I really wanted to like it,

I thought, hey, you
made it halfway through

this is good and then.

- [Tony] That's pretty good.

- At some point, you just
revert to having fun.

- Just go to full high school mode.

- I had it the first
half, that looked good.

- That run was better than the first two.

- Combined.

- Yes.

- No way.

- Which is saying something.

- The last run was the best, for sure,

because you were in a proper
drift through this turn.

If you'd a held that a little better,

you basically would have
been in pretty good shape.

- Drifting, you would have
been drifting, almost.

- [David] Carlos may have showed us up

in the burnout test in the Viper,

but all of a sudden,
he's realizing his flaw.

Because this car is super tail happy.

And I guarantee you he's
going through this course

bas-ackwards.

- I not so secretly want him to fail.

- [Mike] 10 years of Motor
Trend testing right here.

(tires scream)

- [Mike] Four, five, six counts

- He's going to keep that one.

- That's pretty good.

- I suppose I should
probably pick those up

because he did it for me.

- [Mike] This part here was--

- It was impressive, right here.

- It was solid, yeah, right here.

Right up until the part
where he had to make

the tires spin, it looked pretty good.

- Yeah, I would say the
first eighth of a second,

looked solid.

- Yeah, all right.

Second shot.

- [Tony] Oh, boy.

(tires screech)

- [Tony] That's a difficult car.

- Yeah, it's tough.

- He initiated it, like super early,

and I thought maybe that's the key,

but then, you know.

Backwards.

- I didn't finish, does that count?

- It was a half gainer.

- Is that a full run?

- [David] Yeah.
- [Tony] Not exactly.

- If you want to take
four, five, I don't think

any of that's going to help.

- [Tony] I don't envy his car choice.

- The ro-sham-bo,
backfiring on him right now.

- I want to do more.

Just three runs is impossible to perfect.

- Especially when you
consider our lack of talent.

- Right.

- I mean, let's be honest.

- That's what I'm saying.

(engine hums)

(tires screech)

(engine growls loudly)

- There's the anger.

You want to go again?

- Sure.

- [Mike] Okay.

- Oh my god, that car is
so difficult to drive.

(loud laughs)

(tires screech)

- [David] And not so much.

- [Tony] I like how he
picked it right up there.

- [Mike] I like his enthusiasm.

- I give that a little bit of credit.

- That was a good comeback.

- That was pretty nice.

- Over all though.

(raspberry)

- You feel inferior, now?

- [Carlos] Yes.

- Good.

- To the car, not to you guys.

- I did way better, oh yeah, good point.

- So, it wasn't the most orthodox pass,

but I feel the second drift.

- The first drift going
that way was quality.

- [Carlos] Was good.
- [Tony] Not bad.

- [Carlos] Was better than
all the other ones so far.

- We weren't really watching,
'cause your run was over

at that point, though.

- But, that's what we have
all the cameras for, right?

- Remember how I did a
burnout like four car lengths

past yours, and it didn't matter,

because it was off camera?

Kind of the same thing.

- This took more skill, though.

(engine roars)

- That car is awesome.

(loud laughs)

- [David] Last up is our
smack talker, Mike Finnegan.

And we know he's got some chops

when it comes to hanging stuff sideways.

And he's got an advantage,
because the Charger

has the longest wheelbase of the bunch.

It's 120.2 inches, which
is four inches longer

than the Challenger.

He's going to have a fun time.

- If I'm going to attempt to be drifting,

might as well do it with
air conditioning on,

because for once on
Roadkill, I have it, ha ha.

- What do you think, weeds or no weeds?

- Possible.

- Possible?

- Possible weeds.

- Always possible.

(engine roars)

- [Carlos] Shift, shift.

- [Tony] You got to put it in
a different gear than that.

- [David] Need second, buddy.

- Okay, okay, all right.

- Yeah.

- [Carlos] This is looking familiar.

I know what that looks like
from the driver's seat.

- It does great donuts.

(engine screams)

- [Tony] So.
- [David] Cranking?

- I felt pretty good.

He looked controlled.

He didn't complete the
course, but looked very

controlled throughout the whole thing.

And if he could kind of put
that last turn together,

I think you guys are in trouble.

- And the transition.

- It wasn't sliding in there, though.

He was driving it.

- He's got to get that figured out, too.

He's got to get that figured out.

- That doesn't count.

- So, I just learned something.

- [David] What's that?

- Forward with the shifter,
that's not the up shift.

- You've got paddles.

You've got paddles.

- I dunno, I'm following his advice,

let go of the wheel and let it spin.

- You should be in second.

- You should be in second by there.

- [Mike] Oh, I took off in second.

And then I went, it tapped out in second,

and I tried to go into
third, but I, you know.

I pushed it forward.

It's backwards.

- [Carlos] Operator error.

- [Mike] Yeah.

- Run two.

- Yeah, this is fun.

(engine roars)

- [Tony] That feels right.

(tires screech)

- These cars are one of the
greatest ways to destroy tires.

- Yeah, these are good cars.

(tires screech)

- Uh oh, uh oh.

(cheers)

- [All] No.

(tires growl)

- Tires done.

- That's going to make
it hard for himself, man.

- Tire's done.

- Yeah.

- I done ruined the tires.

- [Carlos] Yeah, your tire's done.

- Yeah, I noticed.

I should get points for those tires.

Well, they're dead.

What do you think caused it?

- [David] That's not hot, is it Carlos?

- [Carlos] Not at all.

- I know what caused it.

It's an overabundance of talent.

- You're right.

- That's what that is.

- I've seen this a bunch.

- [Mike] I know, right.
- [Carlos] Absolutely.

- They're both done.

- Are they?

- Yeah.

- Go change it.

(light jazzy music)

♫ Da Da-da

♫ Da-da-da-da-da-bah

♫ Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da ♫

- [All] Here we go.

(engine roars)

(tires screech)

- [Carlos] Into the woods.
- [Tony] Hit the brakes.

- [Carlos] Into the woods.
- [Tony] Hit the brakes.

(loud laughs)

- [Carlos] He tried.

He was aggressive on entry, but.

- [Tony] I feel like he kind
of went through the turns.

- I'm just going to try that again.

- That was his third attempt.

(engine roars)

Something tells me, though
there's nothing stopping him.

(car hums)

God it sounds good.

- [Carlos] Yeah.

(tires screech)

- [Tony] Got to get, flip it.

- [Carlos] Oh, oh, into the woods.

Into the port-a-potty.

All right.

There was a lot of under steer, there.

- [Tony] Yeah.

- Well, I need like 10 more goes at it.

- 10 more?

- [David] 10?

- In a row.

- [David] Do we all get that?

- Yeah, we all do.

- You know, I'd say the
same thing about the Viper.

10 more attempts in the
Viper and I might be on it.

- 20 or 30.

- Yeah.

- Well, you got to give us
our overall ranking, though.

- Okay, I would say it's close.

(loud laughs)

- Political, he wants to
come back on the show.

- It was pretty close, but
last place for sure, Carlos.

- Oh!

- Last.

- Even though he was in the Viper?

- Absolutely, doesn't matter.

- Okay, doesn't matter.

- I don't want to see it,
so I can't score you on it.

- You can't watch it, okay.

- And I would say one,
and right behind him, two.

- I would definitely say
he carried the first turn,

and had the hope of making that turn.

- [Carlos] Absolutely.
- [Mike] Aw, dude!

- [David] You didn't do it.

You had the hope.

- [Mike] On the last run, I was like,

it's working, it's working,
and then, oh wow, you suck.

- Yup.

- Well, that's kind of what
we would do for testing,

if we were kind of doing
Roadkill's bastardization

of Motor Trend tests.

We've determined that, I
can do the longest burnouts

in Viper.

- No.

- You can do the fastest
burnouts in a Challenger.

- I still got more distance,
it just happened to be

after the competition.

- After the competition was over, right.

- If we were going by that,
I'd have the best drift, too.

But no, that goes to this guy.

- If we're evaluating
poor drifting skills.

- But that's kind of it.

We could dino the cars, but
we don't have a dino here.

So, that's kind of our day.

- We can strap 'em down.

(intense orchestra music)

- [Voiceover] Three, two, one.

(engines scream)

- [Mike] Yeah!

My god, that's a lot of smoke.

- [All] Wow!

- Wow, look at that, that's insane.

- [Mike] Ho-lee crap.

- Look at this, oh wow, it feels like.

- Goopy.

- It feels like a drag strip.

- Look at that.

- Look what we just did!

Look at the smoke, look at this.

- [Carlos] I didn't move
that much, you guys.

I actually just turned.

- [Mike] So you pulled me
away, and I started pulling

both of you this way.

- [Carlos] And the cars didn't break.

- [David] That's amazing right there.

- [Mike] That's a sweet
tie job on our part.

I feel like I smoked a carton of menthols.

- No one's ever done that before.

- Never, nope.

- Setting records, once again on Roadkill.

- [Mike] As a team, Larlos,
homeless David, and I

had a pretty damn good day.

We successfully destroyed
12 Pirelli tires,

and we learned that Freiburger

is pretty good behind the wheel.

All that's left to do now, is
pack up, find some more tires,

and hit the road for our next destination.

(motor hum)

- Okay, you cannot drive
this car in flip-flops.

Want to eat a sandal?

(whistles)

- [Mike] So, we're headed out
to the desert to do some more

tests on the Hellcat, the
Hellcat, and the Viper,

when Carlos calls me,
because he's borrowed

the Ram truck and the Gremlin

for an episode of Ignition,
even though I told him not to,

because it would break down.

And as usual, we've got to go rescue him.

(phone rings)

- [Carlos] Mike.

- I told you so.

- [Carlos] Yeah, you did.

You were 100% right.

- We will fix this for you,

because this is your problem, not ours.

- [Carlos] I appreciate
you doing a favor for me.

- [Mike] What had happened
to the truck is that it has

two ground straps, and
we disconnect the battery

so that it doesn't drain
it when it's in storage.

And somebody only hooked
up the positive side,

and so the little tiny body ground strap

ended up burning though,
completely leaving him

stranded and helpless.

It turns out it was a double whammy.

Not only was the ground
cable fried in half,

but the truck was out of gas.

So, after we rewire the battery,

I have to come back again
to bring Carlos gas.

And then I've got to break into the truck,

because the key for the gas cap is gone.

Why?

Because Roadkill.

Now you might ask yourself,
what could they do

that's bigger and badder
than a three way tug of war

with a Hellcat, a Hellcat, and a Viper?

Our next guest is going
to be Fred Williams

from Dirt Everyday, so
just think what we're

probably going to do next with these cars.

- I hear we're racing, that's
why I brought my helmet.

- Did you bring enough
helmets for everyone?

- No, my mom only got me one helmet.

And I don't have enough to share today.

- Have you ever even driven
700 horsepower before?

- Um, my Toyota has seven
17 gears, does that count?

- [David] That's close.

- All right, perfect.

- So what is the plan?

- All right, so we have a
track, designed for motorcycles.

We're going to take all
three of these cars on them.

We're all going to ride
together in each car,

including the Viper.

And right now we need to
ro-sham-bo for who's piloting what.

- Ooh, tied up, ready.

- Great minds think alike.

- Okay, now you guys go and I'm last.

- Okay, you ready sir?

- [Mike] Yes.

Yes!

- [David] You win.

- Oh, I'm taking the Challenger.

Because we've got semi
decent ground clearance

compared to that.

And I don't want to be the guy

to ride under the hatch of that.

- [David] And you will take?

- I will take this, if
I get shotgun in that.

- In a rare moment of failure,

I lost the ro-sham-bo, and was
the last guy to pick a car.

But, I didn't want to drive the Viper.

So watch me absolutely baffle
Fred into taking that car.

So we know one of us is
going to take this, right?

- Right?

- So we will ro-sham-bo the
winner takes shotgun in this.

The loser drives this.

- Okay?

- Right.

Ah, so that means I got shotgun.

- So I'm driving that.

- Right, which means
I'm taking the Charger.

- Which means I'm under the hatch.

- The viewership has
followed this down to a T.

They know exactly what's going to happen.

Let's just do it.

- All right, let's tie up dogs and race.

(upbeat electronic music)

- [David] I am first up in the
Charger, and ready to prove

this is the new, ultimate,
off road muscle car.

(engine roars)

(loud laughs)

(excited cheering)

- I love this job.

(cheers and laughs)

- [Mike] Nice shortcut.

(laughs and cheers)

- [Fred] That's a good
hill climb right here.

- [Mike] Wait, wait, wait, wait!

- [Fred] This is going great.

- [Mike] Go, go, go, go, go!

- [David] Big berm here, big berm.

- [All] Whoa!

- [Mike] Dude, you ran
over the top of the berm.

- [David] I know.

We bottomed out, that's for sure.

(loud laughs)

- We need a damage report.

- Damage report.

- Damage report.

This side is a win,
besides that rocker panel.

- [David] Oops.

- [Mike] Oops.

- [David] I mighta
dented that a little bit.

It's going to snap back in.

- [Mike] Oh look, it's fixed.

No one will ever know.

- [David] Dodge will not know.

- Just like on the Dukes of Hazard,

Dodge Charger invincible.

- [David] Yeah, look at that.
- Yeah, completely.

We just went super cross
and the car is still fine.

- Wait, wait.

There we go.

Handled, gotcha.

- [Mike] I dunno, we're missing a piece.

- [Fred] Ooh.

- I think it's okay.

You know what, I used to say the B-body GM

was the ultimate off
road vehicle platform.

But, now I've driven this.

- Oh yeah, it didn't have 700 horsepower.

- That's probably the problem.

- Wow.

- Let's go jump the Challenger.

- I want to jump it.

- Let's go jump something else.

- Shotgun in Challenger.

- I win.

- [David] Next up is
Finnegan in the Challenger.

I don't really know what's going to happen

on the compare with the two cars here.

The Challenger is a little bit lighter,

but I like the longer
wheelbase on the Charger

for what we're doing here.

But one thing's for sure,
Finnegan is going to go all out.

- All right, everybody ready?

- You have a reputation to uphold.

(engine growls loudly)

Yeah, that happened to me, too.

Whoa, so did that.

(happy shrieks and laughter)

- Right, right, right, right.

- [David] Oh!

That tire is off the rail.

- [Mike] I got to complete the stage.

- [David] That doesn't smell good.

- How did get the car with the bunk tires?

- Oh, right, that's what happened.

We might have to change
that and let you go again.

Do you smell the tire burning

from the wheel spinning inside it?

- It's smoking right there.

- Why don't you go ahead and touch that.

- [Mike] Let me get a judge's ruling.

Are we changing it, or keeping going?

- [David] I'm going to say it's
much more fun to change it.

- Change it.

- [David] All right.

- [Mike] Way more fun to change it.

- [David] Let's go change it.

(upbeat jazzy music)

- Filling up, go, go, go.

(engine roars)

(happy cheers and laughs)

- That hurt it quite a bit that time.

Sounded like cracking.

- [All] Oh!

- Ooh, good one there, nice.

See, this is hard to sweep through.

Tabletop!

(excited happy chatter)

- [Fred] Whoa, nice!

- We three wheeled big time.

- [Mike] I can't see.

- [Fred And David] Go, go,
go, go, go, go, go, go!

- [Mike] Oh, this could be good.

- Nice one, way better than mine.

That was quality.

How much Challenger is left?

It's a two door, so there's
half as much to ruin.

- [Fred] I fear this
side's a little buckled.

- Oh!

You might have done a little
damage to the front valence.

- [Fred] Oh, she's on a diet.

- [David] Apparently, it's not designed

to stick directly into a
berm at 50 miles an hour.

- I think it's an approach angle.

It's eating itself, it's like it's hungry.

- [David] Other than
that, I think we're good.

- Most of the stuff's still here.

- [Mike] Can we just
Zeus it back together?

- [Fred] A little Super Glue,

no one will know the difference.

- Get some zip ties.

They're not going to even notice that.

- [Mike] Exactly, they'll never see.

(car part falls with a bang)

(loud laughs)

- [Mike] Okay, that's
not going to buff out.

- So, what are we going to do?

We got to make you cram into the hatch?

I think that's what we agreed on, right?

- Yeah.

Does this even fit golf clubs?

- It's like a Jeep that's
four inches off the ground.

- Just keep in mind this is carbon fiber.

Don't break it.

Wait a minute, wait a
minute, wait a minute.

Yeah, that's not working.

- [David] Oh, come on.

- I've seen Fred drive.

I'm not riding back there.

- I'm going to take still pictures

because someone is going
to want to remember you.

It's basically a Jeep, Fred.

Next up is Fred in the
Viper, and man is he screwed.

This is the lowest car.

It's the most expensive car.

It's the lightest car.

That's why we're letting him drive it.

- Fred.

- Yes.

- This is a $90,000 car.

Enjoy yourself.

(engine roars)

(loud laughs)

- Oh, I feel totally safe now.

Oh my god.

- [Fred] Hang on.

(loud thump)

(loud laughs)

- [Mike] Oh my god.

If the front end of
the car is still there,

I'll be totally surprised.

You got this.

Whoa, another camera guy.

- Sorry camera guy.

Sorry about that.

- My god, we're going to die.

There we go.

Berm on the left, use it.

(engine roars)

Oh my god.

- [Fred] I got it, I got it.

- [Mike] You are so (engine
drowns out speech) beautiful.

You're driftin', now you're driftin'.

Oh shit.

- [Fred] Hang on.

- You said you don't get stuck.

- [Fred] Reverse.

- [Mike] There we go,
good save, good save.

(loud laughs)

Holy cow!

Oh shit.

I shouldn't laugh, because
every time I do I eat dirt.

That fine Corinthian leather,
not so supple any more.

- Ah, it's perfect.

Finally broken in.

You sold me on the Viper.

- Let's see if you own it.

You might own this piece.

- This thing took a beating
better that the other cars.

You stuffed that nose over there.

I mean bad.

And it's fine.

- It's a Viper.

- Road tested, Roadkill
approved, right here.

- It is just like a Jeep.

A Jeep with a very
little ground clearance.

- Good job guys.

- I'm not paying for that detail job.

- (laughs) There might
be a little dirt inside.

- Oh yeah.

- Look at that seat.

The bucket seat is a bucket of sand.

- You could start a
garden with all the dirt

that's inside that car right now.

- Can I take it home?

- Yeah.

See ya.

(engine screams)

- [David] I believe Fred is unfamiliar

with the concept of rev limiter.

- I think he just enjoys
it more than most.

- Didn't he do this to us
in the sand episode, too?

- Yep, there's more
rocks this time, though.

- [David] Coming out of the dirt,

there really is no winner.

Except us, Roadkill.

It's unbelievable to us
that Dodge is actually

letting us do this.

And you might look at this episode and go,

why would they get these cars
and do nothing but trash them?

Well, basically, it's because they let us.

It's because we can.

I look at a lot of old movies, and I ask,

why did they crash that '69 Charger.

Or why are they rolling
over that Hemi 'Cuda?

Well, it's because when
those movies were new,

those cars were new.

And they didn't matter that much.

And that's kind of the deal here.

You know what, Dodge'll make more.

So, there's really only
one thing left to ask.

What does a Hellcat engine look like,

in a Roadkill car?

(loud engine noise)

(cheering)

- You're great at this.

- [Fred] Is that on the side of the car?

- [Mike] It is.

- [David] Here you go.

- I'll take that.

- [David] All right.

- Shortcut.

- Get ready.

(loud laughs)

- That was good.

That was very good.

- That wasn't fast.

- Oh no.

- But it was far.

- It was good.

- Dude, you ran over the top of the berm.

- I know.

If I win, right?

- That was pretty damn good.

You nearly got all the way
on top and road across it.

- I know, I was like, I can't stop.

- 700 horsepower saved you there.

- [David] Oh nice.

Wow, it three wheeled big time.

Oh!

Oh, I hope they can see
that through the dirt

when you three wheeled it big.

- I love this job.

- The title of this is going
to be three idiots giggling.

- Yeah.

- With Fred, from Dirt Everyday,
to show us how it's done.

(upbeat bluesy music)
