- 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!
The Coyote is a official Roadkill sign. Lol love it.
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.
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
Coyote goes in the Mustang big Dave not the Vette 😂😂😂
😂😂
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.
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.
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
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.
One of my favorite CZcams channels now. Thanks for sharing your journeys, it's appreciated.
Take Care!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
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!
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!
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..
That big ol flat bed was awesome! Makes me want one now!
"Good news! I found a spoon" 🤣
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 😂😂😂
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.
I can't believe lucky Costello put the wrong pushrods in that engine
Your best post yet, big fan of your adventures and your honesty. True Hot Rodder !!!!!!!!!! Been there done that Great Memories !
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
Loved this one, 12 Volt Dave! I want a C5!
Watching 12v when he drove that truck, smitten. Come on Dave, time for your awesome truck build. Cheers mate
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.
A dead coyote? Now that's Roadkill 😂😂
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 😂😂😂
"Good news, I found a spoon!" 🤣
Best episode yet Brother
Great episode, thanks for taking us along.
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.
Awesome Trip ! Thanks for sharing it with us!!
I remember the episode when they worked on the car. When you said it set for 3 years damn time flies by lol
Another solid video man, thanks for the great content!
34:51 🤣🤣🤣 I hope the judge watches this episode, I guarantee he’s gonna laugh at this
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.
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!
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.
Great video!! Thank you from Lexington Kentucky!✌️😎
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. 👍👍👍👍✌️.
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
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
Great ep Dave and solid buy👌👌👌
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.
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!
Great video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
Cool project Dave. Thanks for sharing your Christmas Vacation adventure. Victoria is just down the road from me.
Fantastic video Dave!!
Dude!!! Great video!!! Happy New year!!!✌️
I really enjoyed that. Seriously when you said you missed your kids I got the feels.
Man Dave you have entirely too much fun... anyway i hope you and your family have a happy new year
Congratulations on the new ride!
Awesome episode buddy
I told you when I saw you a drag week in Virginia that you were famous!! Congratulations 😉
Ahh very vice grip garage meets roadkill. Love it.
Fun video ! Love it
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! 🤣
God provides a bungy cord , the Lord gives you a friendly Judge ! CARMA
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!
Great road trip. Superstar!
Lmao that coyote was mangled 😂
👍 YEAH, BROTHER!
Man picked up a crack spoon in California to straighten his newly found bungee cord hook no hesitation a true road warrior
Another good one 👍👍
Great content thanks for sharing
Great video 😊
Stubby Bob! Haven't seen that truck since it was built!
You are a celebrity now 12 volt don't forget that 👍
Awesome 🎉🎉❤❤
Desert coyote cheese steak. Missed
opportunities. 🐺
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.
I love corvette s. Specially the 70s. And 80 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.
Awesome video
There is nothing like driving a corvette across country. 03 corvette myself.
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
The highway will provide brother!!! Bunji cord who would have thought.!!!!
Put the spoon back for the next guy 😂
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!
So many Roadkill cars!
Seeing some of these "stars" parked in garages is pretty cool
Dave realizing he is famous is pretty cool
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.)
Stubby Bob! Bring him back!
The road always provides!
You need one of those corvette trailers they made that actually looked like a vette from behind lol
Stubby Bob!😊
Awesome Judge. But it's true. Sometimes you gotta pay when you play. Lol
So uhhhh, not for nothin, STUBBY BOB!!!
As info vehicles in Commifornia pulling a trailer should be doing 55mph.You are lucky you didn't get pulled over for another ticket!Tony and Lucky sure can screw up a good car can't they?
It appears Lucky needs some valvetrain schoolin'.
14:15 thats what ratchet straps are for. Keeping things secured.
You should have been in a Road Runner. 😆
Thank the Lord for random stuff on the side of the road 👍
