Roadkill Garage

I have been wrenching on cars for 60 of my 71 years. These guys are an absolute joke. They take cars that are classics deserving decent treatment and give them the chewing gum and duct tape treatment. Then for additional insult, they take them out and flog them on the road. Absolutely pathetic.

These guys talk a good game (probably because of the writers) but when they start wrenching it's like they've never seen a tool before. They're totally awkward working on the cars and I doubt they have actual experience.

Laroy mobile mechanics love this show . We watch you all of the time. The Cadillac with the cummins engine was awesome . Have a great crew that really know there way around the shop. We are located in Newport News Va working on local vehicles. My family has always kept me around cars as a kid just so in love with old-school vehicles. Just wanted to tell you guys how help the show is to me and my family working on vehicle every day. The fabrication work that your crew does is crazy. Keep up the good work it helps out the small business owners and their guys God bless you and your crew to keep up the good work.

That Steve and Dave can bring cars back from the dead and have fun and adventures driving them is a blast. Along the way, viewers pick up important tips like old gas and gas that's been sitting for a while is very bad and should be avoided at all costs, as long as you have gas, spark and compression it should run, stopping (good brakes) is just as important as getting the thing running, etc. Fixes they perform on the side of the road are typical of many of the old cars they resurrect, coupled with diagnosis while on the road gives viewers useful information and know-how about dealing with issues that crop up. Most important demonstrates the spirit behind the sayings "where there's a will, there's a way," "if it ain't broke don't fix it," and "as long as it runs..." Great show for gear heads and people who love old cars.

What am I missing here? I still don't get it. What's the appeal of bubblegum duct tape auto work and then driving what could have been a restorable car? This show must be the counterpart to...uh...good shows.
