I have MT and will keep it, but I’m getting sick of the shop builds on roadkill. Original concept was to fire something up and road trip it as close to dead as possible. Now cars get whole new mechanicals out on every inch of the car before they hit the road. That was the roadkill garage concept and it meets expectations, but not the original show.


Even the shop builds, are thrown together junk, with stuff the guys have laying around. Most car guys have plenty of extra junk sitting around, that can be reused. I have no problem with them improving the cars they already have. It's to show that once the car is driving, it can be upgraded over time, and make it better, and better. I've been to car shows, that the owner got it barely running 20 years ago, and then just gave up, and the car hasn't changed since then. Personally, I like to make improvements every year.
