EndStar Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Do they actually do any building of their rides? they build them all themselves unless they buy a pos and just get it running haha. they are great and Finnegan i believe loves datsuns 1 Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I don't think they do from the episodes I've watched and when they challenged gas monkey to a buildoff and drag race......they dissapointed me with their built by someone else car... 1 Link to comment
Rjawm Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 One of the video posts, and an episode of the show, from Gas Monkey made mention of this during the build up to the drag showdown. 2 Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 That also wasn't the original challenge made. Roadkill wanted to get some junk car a do a 1000 mile road trip, but that's too low brow for ass monkey. Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Why so much hostility towards gas monkey?, they are in the car flipping business, they should have challenged someone that does what they do :thumbup: 1 Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 My only issue is he makes a ton of money by screwing somebody else. Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Gas Monkey sucks. The main guy. The bearded dude is rad as hell though. 3 Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Ya, the bearded wonder is great dude and very talented, if he wasn't there the audience would be a lot smaller. 3 Link to comment
a.d._510_n_ok Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 my only problem with gas monkey is that the fucker buys high and sells low. the dude loses money constantly. pretty sure they're subsidized by the TV channel that produces them. Kaufman dude is pretty cool and, for a young man, knows a lot about the old stuff in it's original state. that's kinda rare these days. having said that, not everything needs air ride suspension.

Mattndew76 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I cant stand any of those shows. Bout the only show I enjoyed was Jesse James monster garage, and his American Chopper micro series stuff. Hate OCC, Ass Money garage, and 90% of History Ch, TLC shit shows. Link to comment
HRH Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 That's the best thing about Roadkill. It doesn't matter if it works or not, they do it just to do it. Very "Ratsun" in spirit. And yes, Finnegan does love 240z's. Granted they have American powerplants, but who cares. It's a good show, it's one of the few that doesn't bullshit. Not scripted, they just go and do it. If they fail, fuck it, they fail. I need to follow their feed and find out when they're close by. I'd love to meet Finnegan and Freiburger. And the best episode? Flat towing the Prius with the Gremlin and then crushing the Prius with a tank!! :D 2 Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I tried watching road kill a few times,,, skipped around till i got near the end,,, and found something less annoying Seriously when you can throw unlimited funds at something and call it "cheap" yeah sure ..... Hey, look we got this duster going in less than a week,,,,,,,, yeah a fucking chicken pecking at a piano could probably accomplish that with more than $10,000 of parts ... Shit they took $800. headers and proceeded to destroy them to make them " work" ,,, kinda 2 Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Don't get me wrong, I like it....it's just missing something.....needs more wrenching. 1 Link to comment

q-tip Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 This is Ratsun, getting some pos running is what we do. Hell, Pumpkin can't tell you how many times he's showed up to some $200 car that doesn't run and drive it away. Link to comment
