- On this episode, I purchase the C5 corvette that was used on Hot Rod Garage. I didn't know anything about it and had never even heard it run until the day I picked it up. I also bought a small trailer that I'm going to use for Drag Week. So, why not install a hitch on the corvette and drag it home at the same time. I have to get from California to Biloxi, Mississippi for a court date regarding a ticket I got during Cruisin' the Coast back in October. I only have four days to get there. I encounter several issues along the way. The car had incorrect length pushrods and then I managed to hit a coyote and drag it for two hours. This was the trip from hell.

"I found a spoon!!" David Griswold's big adventure 😂
The bungee/spoon incident had me rolling!😂
What a great adventure with literal roadkill to boot! When you described what happened in the courtroom, your humility and gratitude about everything you have accomplished came through. Keep being awesome, 12 Volt Dave!
AMEN!
Coyote goes in the Mustang big Dave not the Vette 😂😂😂
😂😂
The Coyote is a official Roadkill sign. Lol love it.
Roadkill is all about putting your faith in some pile forgotten, and taking it across country to see places and car dudes that no one would see otherwise. Very cool video. You even found the OG Roadkill coyote!
Let’s be honest here…. This was no ordinary “pile”… nor was it a barn find… Having said that it was a pretty enjoyable video, Dave was always entertaining on other people’s channels so I expect nothing less on his own
I’d love to snoop around that storage faculty for Motor Trend cars. So much history.
Love your channel Dave. Glad you and Cotten have become part of the Motor Trend family. So many of the other members talk highly about you both.
This is the most "ROADKILL" you can get! Reminds me of National Lampoon's vacation where he found the empty dog leash on the bumper! RIP Dinky & Willey...
The fact that the judge knew who you were was amazing and I can imagine that is a great feeling you are a good guy just keep up the good work and you never know maybe I’ll be lucky enough to collab with you one day
The 56 210 has 2 deer kill stickers on the front fender. Just finished up a bunch of work the night before. Took off in the next early am to go to a meet. A doe and fawn jumped out in front at about 60mph. I have 4 wheel Strange Engineering Disk brakes, and I used them. Got it slowed from 60 to about 25 before impact. Hit with the left front bumper and fender. Drove over both of them sadly. Zero damage to the car. All original sheetmetal and bumpers, ect. Didn't scratch or move or dent a single item on the car. The Cal Trac bars had deer hair and blood on the bottom adjuster bolt. A little bit of deer poop splatter, but that was it. If you so slam and animal, the first thing to check is brake lines.
You found a bungee cord right where you pulled over and needed it along with a bungee cord adjustment tool in the middle of nowhere, you drug a coyote 2 hours down the highway, you stopped at a machine shop in a small town and they had the exact push rods you needed, but the judge knowing you blew your mind?!?!?! 😂😂😂😂😂
awesome video 12 volt! happy new year you you and your family.
Only 12 V Dave could have the luck of the Irish pulled over at the perfect spot and found a bungee court. LOL Hey dave absolutely love what you do brother awesome video
I had a c5 that I just gave to my ex. I'm going through a hard time right now, and your video helped me today. Thank you Dave, I appreciate it more then you know.
One of my favorite CZcams channels now. Thanks for sharing your journeys, it's appreciated.
Take Care!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
The good shows are good for a reason. Faster with Cotton and Newbern is a great show and Motortrend is lucky to have you guys.
There's nothing more terrifying than some random noise coming from the car you're driving. LMAO at the coyote!!
Being parked and standing on the shoulder of an interstate in the state of California qualifies as being more terrifying than any odd engine noise in my book. Just saying..
Really enjoyed this video. Cool to see you made the trip. I’m certainly no expert but I like how you edited this one. Great cuts and music choices that fit the mood. Cool that the Judge recognized you too. Keep up the great work. Thanks for the entertainment!
That big ol flat bed was awesome! Makes me want one now!
ONly 12 Volt Dave could break dowm right next to the bungee and the spoon to fix the bungee along 18,000 miles of US Interstate! Way to go, Dave! You are almost right about the Miss attitude about burnouts; unless you are and authorized "sheriff's kid". I lived in New Orleans a while back, and there are still some "wet country" parishes and counties with inhospitable law. HNY, Dave- many happy projects to come!
Chinese fire drill at 29:00 😂😂😂 we always had a great time doing those in 4 door cars, you never knew who was going to drive 😂😂😂
"Good news! I found a spoon" 🤣
What an adventure, the highs of driving in that beautiful truck on the open road to the torment of that evening traffic delay just to get to court. Great video!
Best wishes for the New Year Dave, thanks for the entertainment in 2023, looking forward to more in 2024. Take care and stay safe.
Your best post yet, big fan of your adventures and your honesty. True Hot Rodder !!!!!!!!!! Been there done that Great Memories !
Absolutely awesome video well worth the wait! I'm so glad to see yall doing so good and having so much fun!!
Best video yet! Thanks David keep up the hard work.
Dave, you are a pretty cool dude. Love watching your videos. Nice acquisitions of the Corvette and the trailer. Looks like a lot of neat content coming in the future.
Should name the car: Wile. E. Corvettee
Dave, You need a Mic or
a quieter car🎤😅
10:01
Love The drift vette and trailer 💪💪🤩
Agreed... a chest mic would be cool
Great episode, thanks for taking us along.
NICE !!! Its great to see we both like this vette body , my favorite... David i think your an awesome dude and look forward to new videos. From the looks of that garage i think roadkill needs a museum. 👍👍👍👍✌️.
I can't believe lucky Costello put the wrong pushrods in that engine
Watching 12v when he drove that truck, smitten. Come on Dave, time for your awesome truck build. Cheers mate
Man. I bought the green Caprice wagon with the matching half car trailer. My son and I roadkilled it from Seattle to Houston. It had a whine in the drivetrain that worried me all the way home. Made it home with no problem, and two Hot Rod Power Tours after that....and it still whines to this day.
Great video!! Thank you from Lexington Kentucky!✌️😎
Awesome Trip ! Thanks for sharing it with us!!
Gotta like just for the Stubby Bob sighting.
I'm surprised that for Roadkill Nights and other purposes they haven't handed Stubby over to a pro to make it a proper wheelie machine, ala Hemi Under Glass, for all of the Motortrend-related Drag events. I figured that is what the Faster with Finnegan episode was leading to as an end result.
Another solid video man, thanks for the great content!
Cool project Dave. Thanks for sharing your Christmas Vacation adventure. Victoria is just down the road from me.
Ok so for someone that goes to cruisin the coast a lot, how much does a burnout ticket cost? Is it money or just points? Or both?
And the bungee and spoon part had me cracking up 😂😂😂
Loved this one, 12 Volt Dave! I want a C5!
Great ep Dave and solid buy👌👌👌
My daughter worked at the DOT one summer while in college , picking up trash .Would come home everyday with a story. All the tarp straps, guns and adult toys you could imagine!
Great video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
34:51 🤣🤣🤣 I hope the judge watches this episode, I guarantee he’s gonna laugh at this
I remember the episode when they worked on the car. When you said it set for 3 years damn time flies by lol
Man Dave you have entirely too much fun... anyway i hope you and your family have a happy new year
Fantastic video Dave!!
Dude!!! Great video!!! Happy New year!!!✌️
I got a speeding ticket in a little town right outside of Savannah, a few years ago. I had gone to court to get the ticket reduced. Right after court came into session a couple fighter jets that were at the Savannah airport flew low overhead the courthouse. He had to stop what he was saying while giving his courtroom instructions to the folks in court. After the jets were far enough away he could continue......the judge asks, "who knows what that sound was"? I looked around, no one said anything, and I spoke up and said....."that's the sound of FREEDOM". The judge looked at me and called me to the podium. He asked if I had ever served in the military and I told him I did. He asked me my name, and told the clerk to dismiss my traffic ticket! I smiled and thanked him and walked out of court, not even 5 minutes being in the courtroom!
"Good news, I found a spoon!" 🤣
Nice to see MotorTrend got some indoor storage. Saw the 64 Galaxie Derek built on his show, shocking similar to how I built mine, including painting the engine gold. Awesome road trip!
Did you mail Lucky the short pushrods? 🤣
Nice episode.
Too bad you didn't get a picture of the coyote still attached to the trailer.
I spent a weekend at Keesler AFB, it felt like a week too long.
Best video I've seen this year even though it was the first it's a really good video 👍I really lmao about the coyote. As always good video man that's why I'm subscribed
Best episode yet Brother
Congratulations on the new ride!
I really enjoyed that. Seriously when you said you missed your kids I got the feels.
A dead coyote? Now that's Roadkill 😂😂
Awesome episode buddy
Fun video ! Love it
super cool video Kinda cool when a judge knows ya and not because he is a fan and not because you have stood in front of him before hahaha
Great road trip. Superstar!
God provides a bungy cord , the Lord gives you a friendly Judge ! CARMA
Ahh very vice grip garage meets roadkill. Love it.
I told you when I saw you a drag week in Virginia that you were famous!! Congratulations 😉
Great video 😊
Great content thanks for sharing
Stubby Bob! Haven't seen that truck since it was built!
Drives halfway across the country to pay a ticket for doing a burnout, proceeds to do a burnout...pulling a trailer. I think you might be my long lost brother! 🤣
Ya win some, ya lose some. The gearhead gods were smiling when you stopped right where the bungi cord was. I was sure you were going to have to pull apart the busted parts of the 5 point for the straps. Then ya "center punched" the yote, hope it didn't cause to much of a mess. Have a great New Year - 2024 is going to be great!
Another good one 👍👍
You are a celebrity now 12 volt don't forget that 👍
I love corvette s. Specially the 70s. And 80 s.
Lmao that coyote was mangled 😂
Man picked up a crack spoon in California to straighten his newly found bungee cord hook no hesitation a true road warrior
15:48 It's the little things. :)
BTW, ya gotta love GM. I have an almost identical radio in my Astro van. (Cassette instead of CD.)
There is nothing like driving a corvette across country. 03 corvette myself.
Awesome video
The highway will provide brother!!! Bunji cord who would have thought.!!!!
Seeing some of these "stars" parked in garages is pretty cool
Awesome 🎉🎉❤❤
Hello Dave... Hope you have a safe trip home.... And no burnout's.. 😅,,,,,
That's not a handbrake, thats a "lever of fever".
Yeah, Stubby bob, should have had a stubby printed up for your biers.
A trick for your extra tyres, if you're stuck for space, let some of the air pressure out and it will allow you to squeeze in more stuff.
So you have, no point harnesses.
👍 YEAH, BROTHER!
0:49 bro they didn’t let you just go and pay the ticket online that sucks I think that particular cop was just being a big schmuck to put it nicely
I'm sure that infraction would not allow just paying online. Notice he had a different tone after listening to the judge, compared to when he got the ticket.
Desert coyote cheese steak. Missed
opportunities. 🐺
You need one of those corvette trailers they made that actually looked like a vette from behind lol
So many Roadkill cars!
Put the spoon back for the next guy 😂
The road always provides!
Awesome Judge. But it's true. Sometimes you gotta pay when you play. Lol
Stubby Bob!😊
Dave realizing he is famous is pretty cool
Couldn't you just pay the fine via mail? Or did you have to appear in person at court?
Absolutely love all your guys's content but you need a better mic when you're driving and videoing, sorry I'm getting old and I can't hear you LOL
Looks like you got a little misty there my friend!
2:37 stubby bob was a spine killer I take it that’s the motor trend garage/storage
14:15 thats what ratchet straps are for. Keeping things secured.
Stubby Bob! Bring him back!
What length push rod did you use ?
