My late wife was not at all a car girl but she loved Finnegan and Freiburger. We watched every episode of Roadkill together. It was then that she understood my gearheadedness... RIP Jennifer. 1969-2019.
I’m so sorry for your loss 😞
@Harold Pollitt Thank you.

I remember watching this as a kid. So many good memories.
Same :)
Hahah same l

Me: As a kid? These just came out a few years ago.
*Checks date* 10 years
Me: OH GOD.
I just realized that the most viewed episode of Roadkill is the only one where they don't touch a single tool.
normies who dont actually like cars come to this video
@@lucywucyyy My wife loves Roadkill... and she can't change a flat tire...

Honestly the worst episode is the most viewed
Omong opo koe....???
When a $400,000 super car doesn’t have an electric seat adjuster, but my $1000 90s Silverado does
Weight reduction oviusly
hUr DuR wEiGhT rEdUcTiOn
@@toneykk Right? My first thought, too. You pay $400,000 for them to not put extra weight in the car
People will most likely look more at the rat rod because....All modern sports car look alike. Old cars have that charm and style that you don't get with modern cars that all look like a batmobile.
+Crimson Sunrise older cars have character!
+Crimson Sunrise They probably look at it more because it looks like a pile of crap. People are always drawn to ugly odd looking things.
Lucky79 If we go by the thing that all modern sports car look the same, what's ugly?
Crimson Sunrise They don't all look the same though do they? Are you telling me a Veyron looks identical to a DB9 or an R8 or a McLaren P1 or a koenigsegg regera? As for what looks ugly.....pretty much anything that has the words "rod" or "muscle" in the title. Un-imaginative, poorly built boxy cars that cant go round corners ;)
Lucky79 All you have to do is pick up your version of the batmobile.
Q:If u had twenty-four hours with these two cars,what would u do ?
me: sell 'em

HI IM rafay
Go have the best sex EVEA

I love that they place functionality above hype and marketing when talking about these cars
Samuel what I really want to know is how many cupholders that lambo has
@@joelarson1733 it only has two
I have a hot/rat rod and my father has a straight up rat rod and we don’t have these issues. That Rat rod you got was made to be a trailer queen 100%
5:46 dude THAT was close!
+AndreasNV was looking for this comment :)

David : You hear that thumping?
Mike : *earrapes as he goes into MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE*
😂😂😂😂😂
You made me laugh
When I was a kid watching you guys was the best part of my day. Now I’m old enough to drive still enjoy it!
The drag race is at 17:38

This kind of puts supercars into a totally new perspective. I've always dreamed about owning one but now I realize It's all about flash. You can't drive fast on roads unless you want to go to jail. If you want something just for speed don't get something that's way too expensive just because of who makes it.
If you've ever driven one you would understand
I understand that there's something special about them but they are just not worth what you pay
Gabe Halstead why pay £270,000 for a Lambo when you can pay £41,000 for a 707hp Dodge Challenger hellcat?
Gabe Halstead
unccdm I think you forgot to comment buddy.
I remember watching this years ago, this brings back memories, especially the part where he gets the rat rod stuck in the street
This was the first roadkill episode I watched. Love roadkill now. 3 years later
20,000+ posers have seen this video so far. Wow. I'd just take a Tesla and keep a few hundred grand for whatever else I want. I'd pick the Rat Rod over the Lambo personally, but I wouldn't drive it without dropping a few bucks on a decent cooling system and a few other creature comforts.
So you want a Danish overgrown vacuum cleaner? Pathetic.
+Johannes Larsson ha-ha!
Yes
+Johannes Larsson i bet a tesla model s is faster than any car you'll EVER have
coolant and a leaf blower pointed at me
my first roadkill
Same but i watched this in 2012
Renzeth Bulawan I watched in 2016
Chris Foltz hahhaha me s the win I lamborgini
Pretty sure same here, this or the Pontiac 1st episode...
you and 50 million other people
I laughed when I saw the Lamborghini only had like 1/2 a millimeter of space between it and the driveway.
5:30 well thats how you open the door 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
anyone notice at 18:34 he started to reach down to try to shift and then picked his hand up and hit the paddle, thought that was pretty funny
#BorntobeManual
Manual is life!
www
yup
nothing happened at 18:34
I own my very own lamborrghini aventador and trust me it's a thing of beauty. well in a video game that is.
yeah, because a guy who own a aventador will not have a youtube account with a naruto profile.
RenanBLS wow that's harsh, lol but yeah it's true
ajajjaaajaa nice one
17:32 is when the race starts
I'm not sure, but this could be the first YT channel (episode 2) I ever watched back in 2012. Nice way to start. Keep up the good work.
Go to 17:34 to see the drag race
ur welcome
Thanks BRO
osskeet who is ?
+Dan Black if you paid attention, he did note in the beginning that it was mainly for show, not so much to drive
+Seth Bell ridos feeble oe
16:34 Best steering column in automotive history X)
I think this was the first ever episode of Roadkill I ever watched. So glad they kept it on TH-cam.
"do you see my steering wheel anywhere?" "dont worry that will buff out"
there are two types of people in the comment section of this video:"FUCK THE RATROD" "FUCK THE LAMBO" and then theres me :"that girl was really really cute"
smh she was ugly
I think she was really cute :| don't judge
yeah
No, i'm romanian,you?
wow,ok
The rat rod, hands down. But I'm a bit biased towards hand built death traps. ;)
each rat rod is unique and about 1/40 the price
I'm building a hand-built death-trap. It's a 1983 Nissan Patrol Safari two door. All Chevy drive train. 5.7 liter LT1 from a 1995 Impala SS, TH400 w/NP205 twin stick transfer case with Dana 60 front and GM 14 bolt full floater rear axles with 4.56 gears on 35" tires. Enough to get me in trouble...
have experience with 'em, eh?
I think I know why chicks dig rat rods...its because they know they'll get a similar experience to sitting on a washing machine during the spin cycle! 😂
@@kevinkirk4285 Make sure you give it a beefy cooling system so it doesn't overheat in traffic. Also make sure the ride height is just enough so it doesn't get beached on slightly sloping driveways. 😉
I always love coming back to this video once a year.
They got ripped off spending $6000 on the lambo for 24hrs, you can rent one for $1999 for 24hrs. That's $4000 in the pocket for beer!
It's an aventador.. much more expensive
Remember this came out when the aventador was brand new
Mr Iceman ummmm I’m surprised that for 24 hrs they didn’t spend like 8 to 10 thousand ur probably thinking of the huracan but this is a aventador if u buy a huracan u pay like $250,000 but a aventador is $650,000
@@joeymattison437 Who told you that the aventador is listed at $430,000.
Joe Mattison for an aventador svj yes 600,000 but for a regular aventador 400,000. aslo there is nowhere on earth that charges 10k to rent an aventador for 24 hours. Even in 2012
5:46 holy cow that was close.
When the lambo was coming towards that edge, I said shit, shit, shit ok its ok
Alex Ortiz
Yeah me too :P
thats the fucking worst drive way for that place
The 3 Random Crafters
yeah just look at the tarmac
is anyone else here not for the lamborghini
See this shit evry one is now infected from the ebolish rat rod never make a vid again so if u get a rat u gon be like I'm gonna win the lottery of 765477554 nice asses for the price of don don don: absolouty nothing
+Benjamin Desjardins Me. Fuck the Lamborghini.
Me too :D
nga keroan
Fuck you, your life, your family, your existence, your comment, your neighbor and everything that has to do with you in general.
17:38 Thank me later
Catelu ' thanks bro
Catelu ' shutup
If you dont watch the whole thing you wont enjoy it, also I would prefer the hotrod
im not gonna thank you because i dont just watch for the drag race i like watching roadkill
I watched the whole thing so nope
18:34 his hand was reaching for standard gear.
I'd take the lambo.
But only so I could sell it, get a house and build a nice rat. Lamborghini are nice, they are beautiful, they are fast, and they are worthless, you're not allowed to use that speed and the fuel consumption, taxes, and insurance defeat having it for attention. A rat gets more attention, and with good reason; they are each and every one a one of a kind work of art. It's like comparing a nice dinner at a 5 star steakhouse to a family meal. when you get down to it, people only visit 5 star restaurants for an eternal societal pissing contest. That home meal actually has meaning, it's one of a kind, and it represents the person who made it.
Fuck the rat id choose the lambo everytime.
Yep, sell the lambo, buy a GTR and have 300k left over
Morgue it's actually $391 000-441,600
you are forgetting one small detail. Lamborgini is currently owed by volkswagen, a german manufacturer. And in germany there are many highways that have NO speed limit. Furthermore there are highways where you can drive 130 k/m. On these highways there is virtually no speedcontrol at all. Which means people are also driving as fast as they want. So for the german customers a lambo is not just for the looks. They can legally drive it on public highways at max speed.
Btw i drove a lot on german highways, and its quite cool when you can legally drive as fast as you car goes.
contradoor12 But i'm not forgetting anything, seeing as how I don't live in or near germany.
I also saw something similar to this. Aventador vs. Rat Rod competing in a straight line race.
Needless to say, the Aventador finished in under a minute and the Rat Rod fell apart.
It's all about the style, bro.
cant believe its been 9 years already this was one of the first roadkill episodes i ever seen
This Was The First Motor Trend Video I've Ever Watched And I LOVED It
"not that fast"? What the fuck are this guy's standards?
Tuddec Its not fast at all to spend 400,000 dollars on it
Tuddec his ls7 1967 camaro is faster it ran a 10.07 @ 134 mph whereas the lamborghini ran a 10.90 1/4 mile
The Glorious Hypnotoad Lol I've seen 1/4 mile in 6 seconds...
Acesii That's not the point.
tommy treadaway 0-100 km/hr in 2.8 seconds... that's 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds
Why am I presuming that a lot of the dislikes are from the roadkilled animal in the intro lmao
+Deal With It!!! You're a different kind of special huh
Sandy Toes ذ
Fo
No just wasting my time trying to find the drag race in this video
Both David and Mike said from the latest Roadkill Extra the old footage of the dead coyote was used for the title of the show by the filmmakers. Until a few snowflakes get triggered witness on the program.
First episode I saw, and still my favorite to this day!
Rewatching the first ep of roadkill I ever saw this ep had me hooked

in theory... you're half right.
First off: concerning the speed control: do you mean the No Speedlimit ones or the 130km/h ones ? because on the 130km/h ones there is Speed Control. Only you barely see it if you are not going too fast. The other thing: Drive as fast as you want ??? yeah maybe in theory. In reality you barely get past 200km/h due to other people being in you way.
Ram Skirata
btw, I'm German
Ram Skirata I understand what you mean. But, if you want to drive fast, you can chose to drive late in the evening/during the night. I have driven in germany during nights and its max speed without much obstruction. As for speed controls, I dont know. I havent encountered any kind of speed control on 130 km/h highways, and germans just drive 170/180 on these without caring much. So I assumed there are basically no speed controls on these highways.
ok in the evening and at night you are right. But its still very dangerous once you get past 200. Simply because: it doesnt always have to be you fault. COncerning the speed copntrol: There is. ist basically invisible with speed traps well hidden.
I care to much about my car and my license. Also i am a very responsible driver
He explained the specs of the Aventador and calls it a Tupperware box in the end....
Does he got vision issieus? :o Or did he realy thought the Ratrod was the Lamborghini?
its sterile, has no character
After all this year's, still great video!👏👏👏
Awesome stuff, I really like the video!!!
Everyone seems to forget that these guys are hot rodders and drag racers. In the grand scheme of things, 700bhp really doesn't cut it. That's the sort of power they were getting out of their 'Draguar' and that's just a cruiser.
ummmmmm the draguar maybe made 250hp
Have you seen the episode of Hot Rod Unlimited where they swap in a new engine and bench test it? Puts out way more than 250bhp now.
DoesNotHaveAnXbox I love your Icon. Motorstorm
TheMalysch77 brake horse power
Nick Milley but why does it bother you if I want an old Jag with a small-block crate motor and a supercharger sticking out the front over an Aventador? And I love Lambos, just that a one-off rod like the Jag will always be unique.
Jeez, why is there so much hate between the different aspects of car culture?
this is one of the most american things i have ever watched
I thought the same wtf
Lamborghini is from Italy.
First of all it’s not a scrap piece and this is half the most American thing you’ve ever seen due to a Lamborghini being manufactured in italy
Will whydoineedalastname half the video is of an Italian car ...
I used to watch this a few years... Now I am watching this now
Awesome video! :D
Dvvvbb
;)
in texas the lambo would be praised over the rod..
i guess in LA since people see lambos and exotics all the time, the rods are rare, they are more popular.
Same Tennessee you have the occasional Ferrari or Lamborghini Gallardo but primarily the exotic cars where I live are higher end Jaguars like F Types and Maserati
Yep, I'm from Texas too and I've yet to see an exotic car, a Dodge Viper is the only one I've seen if you want to consider it an exotic car. But hot rods are everywhere
+Clay Hinkle in Dallas I've seen everything from dodge hellcats to Lamborghinis to even a few McLarens
+Putin Vladimir I live in a small down 60 miles from Dallas that's probably why
I am in Toronto and see Mclarens, Lambos, Ferraris and every other exotic on a daily basis in the summer. That rat rod would get WAY more attention here and not just from women
outstanding vid, fun and quality. Keep on entertaining us !!!!
First roadkill I watched ......never missed one since
I really dig this video, you guys kept it real and it looked like a real interesting day.
you guys rocks , love what you do ,keep up the good work guys.
This video brings back good ol’ memories
Your rat rod is luxurious. My '32 Plymouth coup rat rod didn't have a seat, and the floor pan was a 1 ft. wide piece of plywood that spanned the frame and wasn't even bolted down. It slid back on acceleration, and was stopped by the roll bar. The bad front U-joint and the open driveshaft were a bit of a concern though. Thanks for the memories. You guys are having way too much fun!
know what i like more than lamborhnini's? KNOWLEDGE
Ha!
+Bilbo Baggins lmao my son cracks up on that line everytime
Edward Ramirez
hi dad
+Edward Ramirez Really?
+Argenis Granados yea he has turned it into a actual catch phrase.
how is that hot-rod even legal to drive?
it isnt
this vid is legendary i love this
this got me into cars
i remember watching this as a kid and now getting somethings they were saying and now watching this after a state test i love it
Hum, so $4 a minute for an aventador, $240 for 60 minutes, well worth :D just to drive and see how it is
Yeah but here renting it for a full day.
vince gredo hum
its true i mean $240 for an adventador amazing sign me up xD
Not worth it might as well through 240 in the trash
GTA V: Vacca Vs HotKnife
This was the first video I ever watched on TH-cam! I am "celebrating" 4 years of being on TH-cam
I remeber watching this originally and dying of laughter when he was trying to push it off the sidewalk😂
People are arguing about cars, but they mean nothing. When you have a speed limit, the top speed means nothing.
right. in almost every contry in the world Top speed means nothing. Including Germany, because of traffic u cant utilize the capabilitys of a supercar even if you are in theory allowed to. What matters though is practicallity while having good looks. And of course fast acceleration. Which Muscle cars all have.
You do realize you can go much faster than the speed limit in America and in Texas people go over 200 quite often
I can vouch for that haha ^
Austin Kesler Fellow Texa, and I have to admit this is truth.
Ever heard of a country road? No? Poor city boys lmao
The rat rod appeals to me because of the DIY aspect. I LOVE building things, and that seems like a really fun and somewhat practical project.
Wow This was the first episode of Roadkill that I ever watched And I watched it almost a year after it came out I can't believe how long it's been God I love this show and god I love hot rods!!
RIP roadkill. This is the episode that started it all for me.
How is the rat rod even legal without indicators, speedometer etc?
RobotGoose its not.
Hayden Sisk I'm not sure about this specific car/state, but in Texas if a car is old enough it doesn't have to have all of those things
RobotGoose because roadkill
It has something called a historic license plate, this gives it exertions towards certain road rules
Daily Cup of Justin Moreover, this rule is existing in most countries all over the World
Given the choice of either car, I'd take the Lambo.... and sell it.
+ishootstuff I'm right there with you
+ishootstuff id drive it for 23 hours then sell it
+ishootstuff The Lambo's nice, but you can't drive it on CT roads; it would destroy itself dealing with our potholes. :)
hola
La Lamborghini
Awesome Video
I used to watch this as a kid and randomly finding it in my recommendations gives me nostalgia vibes
Granted the Aventador IS a work of art that only 1% of the population can own and just experience the drive. The rat rod is its own personal expression of art anyone from a 16 yr old kid to a 80 year old man with average automotive skills can attempt to build and experience..and I bet a whole lot more fun to.
You know what bothered me most in the whole video? The fact that they left a lot of fries on the table without eating at 11:00. That's not cool! Now I want fries!
Great video🤘The Lamborghini is a nice car, if I had to pick one the Rat Rod all the way!!!
What about a lambo v12 in a rat rod ?
hahha i like it
Depends on the ratrod. Itd probably tear the thing apart. Some ratrods can handle a frikin lot of power but probably not a v12
Idk some rat rods have mad engines and would have more power
As long as it has a strong enough body it works
@Mr. Hollywood ok thanks. Its quite interesting
alot of lambo fanboys that never heard of roadkill are in the comment section
swieber1412 Iove all the people who say they'd sell, don't understand money or how renting works.
I want to buy your car
U sure u aint one of those lambo fanboys
hola dame precio de los motores chelvy cobra.revonstruidos

This guy thinks the Aventador "doesn't launch that hard"? 0-100kmh in 2.9sec not hard enough? Hmm OK, I guess the guy is a jet pilot in his spare time. And "the scissors doors are just annoying"? OK, OK.
Whateva
***** LOOOL yeahhhhhhh, like you're really going to use top fuel dragsters as an everyday car aren't you?
talk to me when people can drive dragsters on the street and tell me when you can afford a lamborghini
dude, dont talk shit until you actually know this guys background. He builds cars for a living. He owns a 1100hp camaro that he does land speed records at the salt flats. The fastest he has gone in it is 261mph, which is pretty impressive.
also, he is a muscle car type guy. He doesn't care about technology, he cares about a car that has a personality and one that he has built or can relate to.
This is the first episode of roadkill I ever watched
just found the first roadkill episode i've ever watched
my 96 camaro has electric seat adjustment but a lamborghini doesn't. well you see were lamborghinis priorities were at
Once an old lady parked her Aventador next to my truck and i asked her if i can take a few pics and maybe sit in it. She said yes, so i did and that was my first and only encounter with an Aventador. It was weird because, after she turned the car off, there was a noise coming out of the side vents behind the doors like some kind of cooling fans were on. It lasted for at least 10 min...Not sure what it was. Cool looking car though :)
An old lady with an Aventador!? No way!
Haha! That was my reaction when i saw her. But yeah, i'd say she was close to 60.Pretty pimped out if you know what i mean ;) I'd send you some pics of her and the car but i don't want to spread them all over the internet. i don't know who she is but i know she was pretty nice to me...
*****
Who else you think has money for new Lambo? ;-) Old people, oh and kids with rich parents.
MetallicRain i wanna see those pics too! :D
Love the video.
great video
The only thing worse than someone who is not me driving an Aventador is two guys driving it who aren't even interested!
You simply can't compare these cars... One is a piece of art, and the other... Calling it shit would be an insult to shit..
+Kasper Bang I know what you mean especially for a 300 k price tag.
+Kasper Bang Imho both are cool cars in their own way. If my country's legislation would allow it, I would buy for example an Opel Manta B, buy an LS3 engine, supercharge it, put it in, throw the original 2 liter engine out the window, hire some experts to build a custom drivetrain and suspension for the little Manta B:) Throw the interior trim out, build a rally-car like dash for the car, get some Sparco seats, a rollcage, a widebody, wider tires, functional aero, and rape most high-end sports cars.
+Birtalan Lóránt that does sound pretty epic :) dont get me wrong.. That hot rod does look cool..
Ps. Where do you live ?
:)) Thx. I'm from Europe, Romania, where it is almost impossible to have a kit-car or a car with a different engine from what the manufacturer provided for that specific model, not to mention hot-rods.
+Birtalan Lóránt i know the pain brother.. I live in Denmark and its the same story over here :(
Good points at the end of the video about the cars.
Not gonna say anything, but the only reason why everyone is paying more attention to the hot-rod than to the Lambo, is because there are very few awesome looking hot rods and Lamborghinis are almost everywhere.
And it's Cali so pretty much everyone has already seen a Lamborghini in their life cause like everyone has one
Ulen CH growing up in the century city area, yea you get kinda used to the Lamborghini, it’s still cool, just they are all over the place. I’ve only seen like 3 hot rods driving around my house before so I’d pay attention to it
The lambo was so close at also hitting the street
Wow 19k dislikes? It is the butt hurt that the Lambo is an angel and rat rod is a piece of crap? XD
The rat rod isn't a "piece of crap" technically.
That sir is your opinion. ;-)
And opinions are like ass holes, everybody has one... XD
+Motherbrain Jr says the guy who likes overrated cars
+random guy LOL it looks like its going to fall apart piece by piece while you drive it.
random guy I never said the Lambo isn't overrated or overpriced for its performance.
I'm just saying its better then that rat rod. ;-)
I remember watching this when i was a kid lol
That rough road looks awesome.
My Jetta has electric seat adjusters... but then again it is a Jetta.... and it only has 180hp.
My 09 Pont G6 has electric adjusters to,
It's all in the name of "light-weightness"
MunReaper My '93 Z28 has electric seat adjusters.
Cruz Sigala my '93 corvette has electric seat adjusters
MunReaper My 93 Eldorado has electric seat adjusters
A lot of Lamborghini fanboys here on this video lol...
I personally find the rat rod has more...character :)
It is a lovely car indeed
Murksy Murksyson agreed
ahh yes it is better too look good then too feel good and that looks good
Chuck Lee agreed
Yeah
なんて言ってるのか分からないけど
何度も見に来てしまうこのカッコ良さ笑
bro this is a core memory of mine from like 10 years ago
Wow, I must be weird! I'm as male as it gets, and I'd take the rat rod over the Lambo any day.
+awesomeferret to have, i'd take the lambo. you'd really want to drive that deathtrap on a regular basis and a car with the most basic safety features?
+awesomeferret not to mention overheating in traffic
Duns for Hands no, but considering that most Lambo owners don't consider it their primary car and don't drive it every day, is it really that much of an issue? Anyway, if I had that specific rat rod, it wouldn't be that specific rat rod. I would make some modifications to make it a wee bit safer (moving the seat, raising the top and installing a bigger windshield, for example).
+Duns for Hands Just a matter of time before the pistons shoots up in the sky and the engine block will be scattered all over the road, haha.
+Duns for Hands that was the worst example of a hot rod my friend
