    Roadkill should be it's own youtube channel, it basically made everything else on MotorTrend but it has nothing to do with MotorTrend besides contracts and whatnot. Not to mention if Roadkill was its own thing, it would probably be more profitable.

      Roadkill is on motortend but it's Dulcich and Dave , it ran many seasons with Mike and David before Mike decided he wasn't going to do Roadkill full-time anymore

      It was in the beginning. But then they went to Subscription only after claiming they NEVER would ever charge for roadkill episodes. Then everyone was pissed for awhile. Now they are appearing again o 2:29 n youtube but without Finigan full time which is a real shame IMO but uh....motor trend usually is the one footing the bill for the parts they put into the roadkill cars sooooo

      @@IslandLife The thing is that more people would be willing to pay for patreon benefits (thus funding the show) if the show was released completely on it's own channel. This isn't even a full episode. Frankly don't think the show runners know what they're doing, and haven't since they pulled it from youtube.
