the death of Roadkill

[PeteyDaMan]

Disney/Discovery f**ks up another great channel. I've been watching Roadkill and the other associated shows since they first started streaming on youtube 12 years ago.
Great business model Disney. Buy great content then kill it with gross mismanagement.

sad day for gearheads

Lately, it seems as though Disney screws up everything it touches.

It seems like Youtube is taking on a lot of automotive content. I wouldn't count these guys out.

...and woke BS.

Watching these shows gave me the motivation to get back into classics after a 10 year break. Roadkill is terrifically funny and the guys know a few good tricks as well.

Roadkill helped, but it was this forum that got me into classic cars.

They killed off the majority of the magazines so this is not shocking to me. It also explains why there is an article in the new Modern Rodding where they take the straight axle off of Blasphemi and put an IFS unit on. I thought it was weird that the car is featured there, now I know why.

DOH! IFS. Now it looks like a truck with a body lift.

I felt it was right around the corner with Freiburger being active on YouTube and even showing roadkill related events. If MT had bigger plans they wouldn’t have allowed it IMO. I’m hoping there isn’t a non compete that blocks the different hosts from working together on YT.

He was probably making too much money. Boot him, like many others and hire dummies for pennies on the dollar. According to some big wigs, a Monkee could do the job the company is wasting money on you for.
