Coyote stuck under my car!

  • 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.

    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!

    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!

    • @nobodyspecial6436
      @nobodyspecial6436 Před 5 měsíci +1

      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

    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.

      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..

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.
