This is the first one I saw (maybe I was searching Firebird and that's why it came up)

I tried a few videos he did but I’ve gotten away from the channel.  As much as I follow F-Body, I actually watch a lot of Mustang content on YouTube  :lol:

Whats youtube?

Seriously though, I have probably watched more episodes of Oprah than I have youtube stuff, and thats not much. I would like to think its a generational thing, my son is on it all of the time and my grandson lives by it. Every once in awhile I will fall into the rabbit hole, by looking at one video that goes into a dozen more before I hit exit.

Well Jack, I got sucked in, it’s entertaining but too long.

Last year I got sucked into Road Kill and Road Kill Garage. At first it rubbed me the wrong way, but as time went on I grew to like it. My wife seems to enjoy it as well, even though she could care less about cars. Getting something old and beat up running for next to nothing brings me back to my teenage high school years.

Roadkill and Roadkill Garage are great in my opinion. I tried watching Vicegrip garage but had a hard time getting into it but ive planned on giving it another chance at some point.

i watched it and it was ok
if he posted the purchase price, would have been nice
i am sure all of us, seeing that wiring mess, would have hired a u-haul
did not behave like 10 years storage, every seal would have been spitting oil
would have thrown that steer belt at high rpm
my 2c worth
seemed like all those, will it start after 20years, and how to fix any car for $50 videos

I watch it all the time. There's a lot of dry, witty humor that I enjoy.  I also watch South Main Auto channel and Eric the Car Guy. Something about their methodical approach to diagnosing problems with cars intrigues me. Roadkill's newer shows are a hit and miss with me...meh. Their old stuff was fantastic...same with Dirt Everyday.

I watch his videos from time to time, he's pretty hilarious. Him, Dylan McCool, Thunderhead289, and Junkyard Digz do a lot of collaboration videos. Not a lot of GM or Pontiacs on any of their channels, but I honestly don't give a crap: cool old cars are cool old cars, no matter the make and model.

I enjoy his content....noticed his mannerisms being replicated on other yt channels. Personally, I rather enjoy using “help me understand!” when things just don’t go right for a guy!
