"Can't hear you" Finnegan has reached the pinnacle of smart-assery. I love it

Watching this now and seeing Finnegan visit his dad brought a tear to the peepers!

38:14 Rest in Peace Mr. Finnegan. Really must have been one heck of a man to have his son love and respect him so much. Regards to your family Mike. T.G.I.Finnegan's

I’ll never forget watching this livestream in class hiding my phone under my desk.

What a great episode. Especially the look on dad's face when Mike pulled up as he was getting the mail. 😇 and the classic "sorry I can't hear you. " as he's tweaking the throttle linkage 🤣🤣🤣

Finnegan always says best day on the job and that truly shows how much he and all of us enjoy cars and the experiences we gain from them

Love the old episodes, I'm glad the algorithm is pushing them. K now, the relationship between Finnegan Jr and Sr was heartwarming, and I'm definitely not a softy, but it was so real and warm it really touched me. Talking cars, that Imperial you helped fix is a well rare and weird car, esthetically speaking it's a child of the era, so a love it or hate it kinda deal, and I happen to be the second person to like it 😅, it has sort of a small waterfall grille, and a sort of hybrid horse drawn carriege "trunk" / regular trunk, which are both weird but "subtle" enough (subtle in huge quotes!😅) to make it an intresting design. I remember photoshopping one slammed on 70s lowrider wheels, Tru Spokes, Star Wires, Astros, Cragars etc.. and lowered on nice rims with a thin white, really helped its wedgey shape gain some meaning. Unfortunately those cars have a lot of electrical problems and a real $hit engine, so to make one into a custom and being also able to enjoy it, would most likely require an engine swap and lots of harness work, and since their value is on the negative side only a true fan would have the necessary motivation, and to the day I've yet to see one. The fact that most didn't survive the crusher might be another reason though.. Anyway, great episode, thanks for the entertainment 👍🏻🖤🏴‍☠️

RiP Stanley G. Finnegan A great man that probably never expected to have a following online but here we are. We are fortunate to have been introduced to him and I'm sure he will be fondly remembered by many for a long, long time. From the very first moment we get to see what a hard working, Intelligent and fun gentleman he is and from what Mike says thats just the beginning. He is an example we can all strive to match.

Nothing better than getting the email notification for KZfaq w/ a video from MotorTrend......and it's Roadkill episode. Nothing.

Man, this was a great episode. R.I.P. Mr Finnegan.

I never doubted the guys for one minute.

Rest easy Mr.Finnegan it was honor to have known you even it was only through video clips.

Man I love re-watching these man I’m 19 now and I still watch it

For you starting it at the show and then getting yelled at is like getting invested to the party and told to leave cause you are having fun.

Freiburger is a smart guy and he's willing to try new things I like the attitude I was teaching Vietnam veterans in 1972 in trade school for auto repair ended up doing it for 45 years professionally still working on my own hot rods

Rest Easy Mr. Finnigan. God Bless Mike and his family.

12:11 legends say that was the first Karen ever created 😂

rest in piece Papa Finn.

Best version of the Crusher EVER!!

When Finnegan pulls up and his dads reaction…… I’m not crying your crying 😭

I will always love the visit to see Mike's Pop. I can't fathom living so far from your parents.

Best Roadkill episode ever!

RIP Mr. Finnegan. So sorry for your loss Mike

Rest easy Stan!

productivity across the world dipped during those 3 days...

17mpg and 10.07 so long as you swap out the rear end gears when you get to the track lol

This is my favorite Crusher Camaro combo. That LS7 was wicked.

I was so sad to hear of his dad passing away. It sucks.

I remember the first Hot Rod magazine article on the Crusher Camaro. My dad had a subscription and I read each article when it came in the mail. Here I am about the age my dad was when the first article came out still watching the Crusher saga. Wish my Dad was too.

Long live Mike's dad

14:52, when in doubt, BACON!!!

This episode makes me miss my Dad!

Really enjoyed this episode while eating, finnegan’s Parents are so cool. Thanks for sharing guys

You guys are awesome!

Best episode yet.

You guys are awesome!. Best version of the Crusher EVER!!.

Perfect timing, just finished exams…

I had a Z06 Corvette for 3 years as a dayly , now i have viper , but i loved the ls7 , still have weat dreams

Miss roadkill for sure. Wish you guys would come back to KZfaq..

When friburger and Finnegan mock a lady screaming at them

omg this was 9 years ago :O waow, time flyes

Ear to ear smile everytime I watch this.

You guys need to stop dicking around, get a publicist and your own fucking tv show. Top Gear US sucks and you guys could blow them out of the water.

Crazy this will be 10years in 2 days

Best car you’ve ever worked on

I lost my dad 15 years ago i miss him so much

Rest easy Finnegan sr such a beautiful moment in this episode

I love their reaction to getting yelled at. "I can't hear ya!"

Finnegan meeting his dad was so heartwarming.

*opens throttle* "can't hear ya" pretty damn funny, . Love the show. I feel like you guys are so genuine

If NASCAR is annoyed by you working on a hotrod right next to them, then those idiots have lost sight of what THEY are supposed to be about.

I love how Mike is reving the engine as she is yelling at them. "What? I can't hear you"

"You need to cut that off!" *Revs Engine* "Can't hear ya, sorry" WIN!

these guys are so badass. helping strangers and getting helped by strangers. love car people helping car people

"Sam got his phone taken away by the teacher yesterday because he was watching the live feed." Best reason ever to use your phone in class.

You guys can't make these episodes fast enough. I love 'em all

8:07 "We were probably going to just dump it back in the car at some point." 2 years later and it's sitting a 69 impala. #becauseroadkill

I think I'd rather have the Crusher than a new 2014 Z/28.

The girl with the ratrod god damn

i love how your crew covers each other. birthday? get your ass home, i got it. you got a meeting? i'll take it from here. and those dudes you helped in that hotel parking lot? they're never selling that car now. you guys are the cat's pajamas.

Makes my day when I see there is a new episode of Roadkill

Another epic episode...that was awesome. I'm amazed that it's still knocking down 17 mpg and the consistency at the track was impressive too.

"I can't hear you" possibly the best moment in roadkill's history!

hahahah the lady comes up bitchin and finnegan raps it out to about 6k hahahahaha so classic, 'i cant hear you'

Warmed my heart to see the passion moms had when talking about her son. Cool, indeed mom.

So uh... how do I get a T.G.I.Finnegan's Country Market T-shirt? So cool.

Not gonna lie, the 200 cars hot rod chick was pretty hot.

Finnegan at 12:16.... "can't hear you" made me seriously laugh so hard! Love this show!!!!

lmao the 12:10 when the lady screams at them to not start the car and he just reves it louder and says I CAN'T HEAR YOU

This one even went all sentimental! The pit stop to visit Mike's dad was a really great detour, you could tell it meant a lot to Mr. Finnegan. Roadkill keeps outdoing itself.

You need to find that buxom hot rod girl and do an episode with or about her !

I'm 13 and I learn so much from you guys about vehicles

The kid that got his phone taken away for watching the live feed is going to be Editor-in-Chief of Hot Rod Magazine down the road :)

That meeting with father saying Son of a bitch is absolutely epic moment ... More than starting up the Camaro for the first time.

Even the Finnegan's dad looks cool... this "show" rocks!!!

They have the best job ever.

One of the best episodes yet.

Watched this episode so many times now. This yellow Camaro is officially my dream car.

That PRI lady is a fool. ITS A CAR SHOW. And that event with HOT ROD magazine/ROADKILL specifically was an engine swap. What do you do after installing an engine? Make sure it starts. And to be "Irate" to start off at that, she's an idiot. Just wants to be in control and it shows. And should be fired. Car shows make noise, and she's complaining about noise... sounds like a stuck up soccer mom who knows JACK about cars. Just dumb. Its as stupid as complaining to someone their drinking beer at a bar. Fool. Stupidity like that irks me.

That moment when Finnegan reved the big block right in the face of the lady was fucking epic! Can't begin to tell you how many times I've watched this.

Am I the only one who noticed the dog poster in the back seat at 19:06? Lol

i like how they close the highways in texas due to a little snow. meanwhile in indiana, it was -40 with 8 inches of snow on the ground and everybody including me was going on with out business like any other day. i love seeing people who have never seen snow or don't know how to drive in it.

the dad moment is a tear jerker. I hope I can make my pops proud like he does...

They should trademark a puddle of transmitting fluid as their symbol

LOVED IT! Great video whole way through. The ups and downs of demanding car builds. Very cool outcome. And Finnegan's dad was priceless.

Roadkill. best show ever!

That pin-up, rockabilly chick was smokin, I'd marry her in a heartbeat.

It really is the coolest thing that you guys took time out of your busy day to help a fan with his car. It says a great deal about you, hot rod guys and true car enthusiasts.

when I was 13 years old, my mate's dad had a bright yellow 68ish Camaro with open exhaust.....here in the UK thats incredibly rare. One day we were getting a lift into town and the guy floored it off a stand-still and POWW !! ..........I still imagine that as the fastest car in the world, amazing punch.......this episode of RK couldn't do anything but bring those days back to me 40 years later .........thankyou roadkill, you guys rock

This is the kind of thing that I wanna do for a living, sometime I'm gonna go to a tech school and learn everything about motor mechanics as possible.

When finigan pulls up on his dad and sees that smile 😊best day at work ever

It really would be so cool to meet you two. Roadkill is MOST definitely one of my all time favorite series on YT and you two get to live my automotive dream in every episode. God bless guys! If you ever come to Pittsburgh, let me know.

I actually think the Camaro looks cooler with the ls7 instead of the previous motor.

my oh my the tears started when i heard your dad say he loved ya on the phone then when you saw each other.... my dads gone now but this episode brought back floods of memories of me working on my stuff in his driveway when i was a kid wanting to go faster and him yellin at me for laying rubber up and down his driveway.... i just love this show guys! thank you

Here's a great noise story, 1973, I'm 12 yrs old, my neighbor John, 17 yes old, 65 GTO, doing a motor install, Thanksgiving weekend, started Thanksgiving night after supper, Bronx NY, power from a pole borrowed Con Edison tent like thing to keep the wind from freezing us out, all night long my Mother, you gotta come in the house it's freezing, no way Mom, not till this thing starts, a out 3 AM she gave in, ok push the car in our garage, 630 AM , that open header 396 that was pilfered from a 69 El Camino started, and boy let me tell u, between the sound, the smell of gastex, and pure Sunoco 260, my Mothers chandelier was shaking, but hey, I got to ride shotgun for the first blast, never forget that day, love my mom, she was the greatest

Does the lady that they got screamed at not notice that this is a car show it will get noisy at some point 😂

Canada laughs at those "dangerous" driving conditions. :)

Invite hot rod girl to more episodes. She needs to be in every episode.

shhh...I've been waiting all goddamn day for this. I saw this morning on FB and said, I'm saving this for quiet time. The boys are too good to waste over screaming kids and morning head. Wait till the end of the day. And 38 min....AWESOME. I already know it's gonna be good.

We've all been reading Hot Rod forever. But David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan have morphed the Editor's duties to include Roadkill!! Kudos guys, this was the "missing" piece of the pie, and it was pure genius. Keep it Real, Honest, and Interesting!!
