#Roadkill #MikeFinnegan #DavidFreiburger
Finnegan moved to Georgia because his dad had cancer and he moved to be closer to him....he has stated this. Also, he still does Roadkill.
He doesn't do anything anymore, not even Faster with Finnegan.
@@13coyote13 He is still on Roadkill just watched Season 12
@@13coyote13He still does a lot. He stopped Faster with Finnegan because it was too much time away from his family. He still does Roadkill and his TH-cam thing and a lot of other stuff.
Did he just call him mark instead of Mike lol
I remember binge watching all the Roadkill episodes in December 2018 when they were still on youtube. I watched one episode every morning before work with coffee and it was great.
Binge watching is all at once not one a day…
I used to watch it constantly and I loved it!
I loved it on TH-cam, motortrend ruined it.
As the song says,,,its all about the money,
Liked it on TV.
You're absolutely right. They even killed another great TH-cam video, Junkyard Gold. 🙄
Hot rod mag is in the market of making money. After TH-cam went communism they stopped making quota through the TH-cam videos. The 5 dollars a month is truly worth it. Especially with vicegrip garage getting his own tv show on the platform. Not mentioning the hundred of shows on there
They had to make money. They left when YT started axing monetization. You used to get like $1000-2000 depending on your subscribers and quality content per 100,000 views for big named channels. Then YT got greedy and be lucky to get a 10th of that now with more ads. The down fall on MT is people like Johnny Lieberman. He was so bad that Camissa, Randy, and Carlos Lago left.
This show still awesome and roadkill garage is amazing too. None of this two guy need to keep doing roadkill at this point they only doing it for us and we should be thankful for it.
They arent doing it for "us". They are doing it because they are making money.
@@RevolutionMuscle Getting paid to do their dream job.
Finnegan moved to Georgia during the _Roadkill_ days.
You can see the "Stubby Bob" build at his house in Georgia with Freiburger
I got the hint when I saw Blasphemi flying Georgia plates.
00:51 Mark is my favorite Roadkill presenter ♥️
He's better than David and Mike
😂😂
A little trivia fact: Mark is Mike's older brother and started roadkill with Dave. During the second episode, Mark passed on from a freak accident involving leftover brakeclean in a Mountain Dew can. David asked Mike to join the show after that. And now you know the rest of the story.
Please! David is the best.
I'm still shocked they put that part of Mark drinking the brakeclean on the tube. Watching him flop around like a fish while poisoned was unbelievable! I can't belive they did that to him. Such a great guy too, best cast member ever!
better than Steev Dol-chitch?
I really miss roadkill it is the best show ever Finnegan's hilarious he laughs at anything what's not to like it👌👍🏆🇺🇲😎
I prefer Finnegan's Garage and Faster With Finnegan but would like to see Dave Newburn (12v Dave) back with Finnegan's Garage
you know this shows doomed when the pirate sites cant even be bothered to keep up with the lastest series
Which is weird because they had footage from when Finnigan gave the Hemi Gremmie back to Freiburger which was a fairly recent episode.
Way off. Finn is still very much on Roadkill. New episodes drop in 2 weeks.
Yes however it will get more and more difficult to SCHEDULE episode shoots as time goes by because Finnegan WANTS to be a husband and Daddy and this is at a very special time in both his kids lives.
Sooner or later that very important family time will force his exit from the show.
And I don't blame him because living in a bubble in GA is no different than living in a bubble in Los Angeles. It's just a little bit cheaper, that's all.
Ask anyone who has worked on films and TV in Georgia.
I watch all the Roadkill, Engine Masters and Faster with Finnegan I can get... Mostly from what they've done. Roadkill is just as good with Steve as it was with Finnegan. Steve has a ton of old Mopars that they've gotten back on the Road! Understand Finnegan wanting to be with his Family, kids don't stay small they grow. So being a Dad is very important in this day and age..
He didn’t quit tf you talking about??
I've met Mike Finnigan awhile back. Awesome dude.
You forgot the ever present "it cant overheat if you remove the hood"
I have watched and love roadkill for the most part, when it went to motortrend it has not been as good personally but I enjoy them still, they seem to busy or tired to enjoy it as much and it shows
Roadkill Garage is my Favorite! I really enjoyed the road trip with the Tater Truck 65 F250 with a 390 4 speed and the original 4 wheel drive. It’s just like mine and of all the vehicles I ever owned I loved driving it the most. It rusted and was forced off the road so I sold the chassis to a young man with a son and resources to restore it. I gave him a date coded 352 and I put the 390 in my 65 Galaxie, shortly thereafter I lost most of my sight and had to forfeit my license. I really hope he can restore it. It was an F250 wrong bed just like the Tater Truck.
Show was always on motor trying to. We just had to wait a bit before hit TH-cam. And it's Mike, not Mark, that seems like a pretty important detail
Died when it went to motortrend, because a year later we couldn't even access it in Australia but they didn't mind taking our money.
Nope. Still thriving. This video is full of Bull Sh**
Have you never heard of a VPN? Even just using the TOR browser you can set your location to US and watch from anywhere in the world.
I use it in the US to watch stuff on Netflix in other countries all the time. It's pretty common to have different broadcast rights in different countries.
@@leftyeh6495 shouldn't have to.
I am a HUGE Finnegan fan, and love faster with Finnegan. He always talks, even to this day, on his youtube channel, about having to go shoot FWF shows, but, I have been subscribed to MTOD forever now, and have NEVER missed an episode of Roadkill, until Finn left, and I am PISSED OFF, that we haven't seen any more FWF content, even though that's the ONLY reason I subscribe.
im hoping freiburger does a few shows with finnegan at least. i like those two together
They are still doing Roadkill , he never left
Roadkill was great in the beginning. Now there are enough others doing the same thing or at least budget builds that I don't miss Roadkill. I hope MT doesn't ruin Derek from Vicegrip Garage. I like DD Speed shop, Halfass Customs, Coldwar Motors, Dylan McCool and many others. Jonathan Winans was great when he was building vehicles.
I was fine supporting them moving to motortrend when they said it would allow them to keep more money to go into the shows. That didn't happen.
The corporation that is motortrend ruined roadkill and made so many spin offs probably expecting Mike and freiberger to run it all.
In California of all places.
Mike is a smart man he got away from the Hollywood execs
FRIEBERGER AND FINNEGAN ARE AND HAVE BEEN OG"S NO ONE ELSE LIKE THESE DUDES!
Seems like yesterday that I watched the first episodes and Holy crap now im old.
Dulcich is my favorite, he is an astrophysicist who plays the straight man to Frieburgers insecurity, lol and he doesn’t care. If you guys ever want a mini-Dulcich let me know. I’m 6-2 175 and we pretty much have the same attitude. Lol. I even destroy clutches bang shifting like he did with the 363 Cougar😂
It started out great, big money sponsorships got involved and ruined the show.
When Roadkill was on TH-cam it was amazing. Non scripted, real dudes, doing real car stuff. When they went corporate and went to motor trend it all went to shit. The show lost its soul and became another cookie cutter car show. It's junk now.
When they had to have good material in the can at the end of a shoot or else, the main plot bit the dust. Sometimes murphy kicks your ass and you have nada to show but busted knuckles, cuts, and bruises. Maybe a good time.
?
I love watching roadkill roadkill garage and faster with Finnegan even though they're not being filmed anymore I still love watching the reruns
I miss this show. Used to be my favorite on youtube but I can't pay cash to get motortrend or whatever they did. too bad
Roadkill is fine with me without Mike. Steve knows his stuff and is hilarious.😮
it was great while it lasted. The original show is based on reality and like a lot of reality shows it became more scripted and less watchable.
I 1st heard of Roadkill when they raced Fast N Loud! I had heard about them but didn't really get to know them till I watched Roadkill... and thought it's everything I wish I could do, but don't have the money to, or the place to. Now I'm a Fan, I've watch almost all of Finnegan's Garage. I watch a lot of Motor Trend, I just don't get into the Auctions. Super nice cars/trucks but I'm not rich so... I mean I'm driving a 13 year old Chrysler Minivan, that has under 100K on it. And they don't make any "Cool" parts for it. I mean, car engine combo's I'd love to try. but don't have the money or skills to make it happen. (V8 Powered, Stick Shift RWD Mini Van) Course The very rear seats would go bye bye for wheel Tubs... But hell I've seen a Blown Big Block stuffed into a Mini Van, and V8 RWD Street Mini that does burn outs like no bodies business..
Still not scripted. One of the host comes up with an idea and they try their best to make it happen…
I met both of these guys on the 2016 Power Tour. These guys are a riot!
2:22
Which episode was that from? I remember the car as the count Dracula of the road and have been wanting to watch it again.
?
@DustyDon64
I don't recall the episode or model of car, but it looked to have been T-boned by a concrete barrier and crab walked down the road as they drove it somewhere to try and sell.
@@arichithechimericvelvetwol84 that car is named the “wrecked runner” and it’s from Roadkill Garage originally. Season 4 episode 12
@@dustydon6419
Thanks for the help
The Market Shift To Trucks And SUVs Was The Final Nail in The Coffin For These Types Of Shows.
IF YOU LOOK UP THE coordinates FOR "THE GATE OF HELL" ITS RIGHT HERE IN KINGMAN ARIZONA
The chemistry between Finnegan and Freiburger is what made Roadkill so fun to watch but in the end, one has to agree that over this decade they did what they came to do, they took clapped out pieces of "ju-u-u-u-unk" and made them go fast while we point and laugh and honestly, how many times can you do that?
They gave us what, twelve or thirteen seasons of it?
If this last season is the series finale we have gotten much more than anyone expects out of even a big budget broadcast network show.
Last but not least, the both of them are now easily worth something like twelve million dollars each just from doing Motor Trend shows and that's not even counting the merch, and other deals they make money off of, and when you hit a certain level of success, if you want to keep HAVING FUN and ENJOYING REAL LIFE, it's very tempting to say "I have enough" and "I want to be happy just as I am now".
Either of them COULD say "I want to keep going and become a media MOGUL and operate an entire high performance universe of my own making as a CEO" but it's obvious neither of them want that.
They WANT to enjoy life wrenching on cars and having fun with their families.
Hard to argue with that, so I thank the both of them for giving us ten years of stellar entertainment while teaching us good basic automotive stuff at the same time.
Finnegan was on the newest Roadkill, but I watch all his other shows and love ‘em all!!
Im stil waiting on the 4th season of Faster with Fin. I am starting to wonder if its going to happen.
It will be back as the show is popular, can't say that about much of the others they've come up with (aside from roadkill and roadkill garage)
I loved watching roadkill, ever since they stopped TH-cam it sadly declined. It was a great show. First time im back lol
what happened to this show, is been years since
Stop spreading the rumors that Finnegan left Roadkill, he still does that and never stopped. He litterly was filming a Episode when he got a call that his dad was dying. That episode is in honor of his dad with the fottage from the episode when the guys visited the Finnegan family store were Mike grew up. Finnegan isn't on the spinoff Roadkill Garage, i think he was in the beginning but then Frieburger and Dulchic took over the show.
Where did you get your information?? Mike is still part of roadkill making episodes as of the latest season. Maybe check your facts before making your videos….. and It’s Mike Finnegan not Mark Finnegan.
Anything dealing with Richard from Fast and Loud absolutely sucks and needs to go away!
Mike was smart by leaving California. He is actually able to do stuff outside of a private property
Ok this is what ruined Roadkill for fans. First thing was when companies realized how many people were watching and how quickly it was blowing up...and let's face it... Roadkill costs money to make...so they took on sponsorships...which came with scripting and rules...but the show was still well worth watching...then all of a sudden the show is only available through the app and subscription which wasn't available most places and where it was available didn't work most times...so you have people that now aren't even able to watch the show and the ones that did pay for the subscription are angry because they paid for something that doesn't work...which I think is when most of us gave up.. cancelled the subscription...said fek it Roadkill doesn't exist anymore...
Roadkill is almost unwatchable without Finnegan. I canceled my subscription to MT when this happened. Finnegan stuff is pure like the original episodes. Roadkill spin-offs are predictable and boring. You asked .
The two made a great show together Thanks.
The $5 a month is worth every penny.
Dude you called him Mark 😂
You lost me at Mark finnegan…… but I felt the need to keep watching until the heavily scripted part………
You have no fucking clue hahahahaaa
It's a terrible video for sure.
I loved it on TH-cam, then motortrend put all their content behind a pay wall and it was never the same again.
I like watching them all, doesn't matter who the host is, there still awesome.
Its not that motor trend isnt cheap, its just that they sold out when they said they would'nt. They all have went back to You Tube in the end. Mike, Lucky, Steve D, Steve M, David, and Tony.
Yes I do miss Finnegan he brought a lot to the show..
RoadKill had great mechanics doing some pretty crackpot, nutcase type ideas; they pitted the 4.6L powered Ford Crown Victoria Police Cruiser up against the 350 LT-1 powered Chevy Caprice police cruiser against one-another & honestly, they got the result I expected; bone ass stock - set up for duty, the Ford Crown Victoria was the winner, but the Small Block Chevy V8 is a motor with an absolutely unmatched aftermarket…so if they were to modify the cruisers to race _(even a little)_ the 350 would’ve killed the Crown Vic… they had the Turbo Diesel Datsun 240Z (the _Rotsun),_ 55 Chevy w/ a Chrysler Hemi; _”BlaspHEMI”_
Motortrend also fills the shows with the same commercial over and over and over
So I’m guessing Roadkill vs Mighty car Mods part 2 in Australia won’t happen 😔
Freiburger said in one of the youtube episodes "Roadkill will always be free". He lied. I'll never support anything associated with motortrend.
I hate paying for streaming shows, but must admit to spending more on the beer than the subscription. Fwf, is a little slow for me, no pun intended. Learned to love Dulcich. Still love to see mike whenever he appears. David is the king of car content. J.M.H.O.
I haven't watched the show in a long time
Steve is a great host to
The problem is the media behind
Its the same with derek from vgg revivals are just not the same as his old you tube revivals
But i andestand thats where the money is
Its just not the same for both unfortunely
Motortrend completely ruined Roadkill.
Period..
Road Kill still exist with Finnegan, this idiot didn't do his research. Finnegan is filming RK right after Drag Week in October. The pandemic out a pause on things because he lives in the east coast and California cease production because of covid restrictions.
@@DroneStrike1776 they only film RK with Finnegan when he's at the Cali shop. Otherwise its RK garage with Dolcich.
Check out the menu from the "Roadkill Cafe"...It's hilarious!
Motor trend made Roadkill not what it was. On top of that the FLIPPING SUITS MADE THEM CANCEL THE TUCSON ARIZONA…..
ZIP TIE DRAGS……
Roadkill was affordable to the car people. Add in corporate sponsors and look what happens fun os replaced with MONEY.
Let’s not for get how affordable Drag week was in the beginning compared to now.
Plus it ain't available in Australia
Finnegan was good but I really like Steve dolcek
It always seemed to me that Finnegan was always trying to break stuff where Frieburger and Dolcek were more about fixing stuff. A little bit of Finnegan goes a long way with me.
@@banditone7896 true
@@banditone7896 I’m not going to argue that is funny. But Dulcich is a fucking genius. He can figure out how to fix anything from the stuff in his backyard. He is deadpan deadly to me. Top humor.
The original Roadkill with Mike n Dave was the best. Fuck motortrend.
I feel like Mike made the entire show. It's why I still watch and support him and not the rest of roadkill
I tough he was with masters engines' and a few days ago I just saw him with other show by name roadkill' so??
Long time supporter but I watch mike n barely see David anymore
It’s on Roku channel for free now.
That's what really hurt the shop it leaving youtube
once it moved to motor trend I stopped watching sad they had a good formula but I guess the corp executives wanted to capitalize on it ... to me, it lost its authenticity just like engine masters
Motortrend has lost everyone that made their shows great. Mike and Tony were great together. I'm just waiting for Lucky to walk away as well.
lucky could do a show all by himself.
Cannot even get motortrend in Australia anymore.
Just buy a vpn
1500 lb moose is a lot of 🥩 for a few people's to fill freezer for the winter and if they're out hunting it will take hours to get it on the truck not to mention the legs maybe 6ft or so you hit with car the body is coming to rip off the car even with the bottom of the windows and it looks like a car that went under a semi in the movies
He still does roadkill. He doesn't do faster with Finnegan anymore.
One minute in.... "Mark" Finnegan......
I read that he's still apart of roadkill just not on the main episodes anymore. Which does suck cuz the duo of fry n' fin was the best. As I've said before for VGG ..... should've never joined motor trend. They just make it seem so fake
i love homeless dave and dulsice. but without finnigan i dont think roadkill works good. if you like. you could investigate what happend to the roadkill project cars. infos about them are scatterd around the internet but having all info in one video would be nice
00:51
Mark Finnegan?
Roadkill died the moment they went corporate. It was only a matter of time before they turned into the same scripted garbage that as all the other car shows. When Roadkill was on TH-cam it was raw greatness that always left me wanting another episode. Now its just another garbage car show like GYC and GMG.
I was among the first subscribers to Motor Trend on Demand and one of the earliest fans of Roadkill, but the Roadkill seasons were too few and far between and I didn't enjoy enough of the other Motor Tren on Demand shows to fill the gap so I droppymy subscription.
Motortrend killed Roadkill by trying to charge for it.
So you don’t like paying for entertainment?
WHY WOULD ROADKILL GARAGE WANT TO COME TO KINGMAN ARIZONA THE WORST PLACE IN AMERICA FOR A GOOD FAMILY OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER
Wasn't it good ideas bad execution but good enough roadkill I don't think this person ever watched the show
Honestly, i like dulcich better but the original two were perfect
Steve is good on Engine Masters, but Roadkill isn't Roadkill without Finnegan. I watch his new stuff instead of Roadkill now. Motor Trend ruined a ton of stuff.
Can you please tell me what season and episode that Mike Finnegan left Road Kill and was replaced by Steve Dulcich?
Dulcich does Roadkill Garage. Mike and Dave started Hot Rod Garage.
I’ve watched the first 3 episodes of season 12 and Dulcich is in it without Finnegan. I don’t see that as Finn being replaced. I believe there has been past episodes were Dave or Mike have not been in for whatever reason
@@dustydon6419 No clue. I haven't seen any episodes since they stopped posting them to TH-cam and make you pay for them now.
@@v12tommy to each is their own. The cost of MotorTrend+ is well worth being able to watch Roadkill let alone all the other shows, IMO.
Finnegan has never left / quit Roadkill. Others have subbed for both Dave and Mike over the seasons. I think you may be getting Roadkill and Roadkill Garage mixed up.
TH-cam does have plenty of great shows with automotive content. I spend far too much time bouncing between TH-cam and Motor Trend. Do yourself a favor and check out Motor Trend. I believe the 1st month is free and then you can cancel without being charged.
"You retire 'em, we mine 'em"
No good reason to not leave Cali
Love the show but when it moved to motortrend it got less cool
Did AI create this video?… geez.
Roadkill, free on You Tube and generally entertaining. Then came the pay wall. Under sufferance I paid,, and weeks later it did not work. Was available US only,, but they kept taking money and Motor Trend were uncontactable. So they are crooks.
Finnegan still does Roadkill with Frieburger, just behind a paywall. Dulcich and Davis do Roadkill Garage, And with Steve Brule do Engine Masters.
HotRod Garage was Lucky Costa and Tony Angelo who quit and the last series was done with Lucky and Alex Taylor
Mike …. It’s mike… good lord, this is half a*s put together
Mike
I have a subscription and I love the show but I am true to roadkill roadkill garage and engine Masters, some times faster with Finnegan,
Went downhill soon as motortrend got involved and you left youtube then started charging for crap vids.
old roadkill was great, the new is horrible
Cotton and newburn ruined the show
