That was awesome Tod! 
There's a certain kind of charm that comes with a car that you really can't do much damage to, even if you have nothing left but a smoking pile of broken parts.

That was cool although hard to imagine they couldn't find a windshield from a wrecking yard . . .regardless, I had an anemic L48 two top 75 air roadster back in the day - - silver vinyl interior no less . . . probably won't get another . . . .

Thanks for posting Tod.
Most fun that I ever had was with my POS Vega. On dates, I used to really impress the ladies when I'd pull out of a parking spot and have to stop and pick up pieces that had fallen off during dinner. I'd then get to show off my intimate knowledge of cars by deciding if the parts were important or not

…even if they are in ways "destroying" classics, as most episodes end in destruction of the cars, the bottom line is that they are actually enjoying them instead of just letting the cars sit. They were born to run. I like the show, just sometimes cringe at the damage they do the classics.

It DOES go to show.......that even a piece of crap can road-trip.
At the end of the day, it's just a chevy.
Anyone who says they can't go on a cruise because their car won't make it should watch this!
Awesome video Tod!

Out of interest,
Do you (US) not have some kind of annual road worthy vehicle check?
How are you able to take a car on a public road without working brakes, dash, windshield.....
This would not be possible in Europe!

The State of California (where the Roadkill guys originate from) currently does not have an annual vehicle safety inspection, just a semiannual emissions test. However, the state does employ several gentlemen dressed in blue with very bright red lights mounted a top of their cars for vehicle code enforcement purposes. I have heard of other states having annual safety inspections however I am unsure of which they may be. Throughout the Roadkill series Freiburger and Finnegan have had several close brushes will the law but never a serious issue.
