Roadkill Garage is a spin-off of the popular MotorTrend/HotRod show Roadkill. Host David Freigberger teams up with buddy and Engine master Steve Dulcich to tackle some in-depth and more technical hot rod challenges. Garage entered its third season at the start of 2018 and each episode gives a really good look into the hardcore and more technical aspect of wrenching on old classics. The hosts Steve and David are old friends and they both work really well together. There never seems a serious or faked moment between the two and there is none of that fake, reality show tension or drama. It really feels like two buddies wrenching on their old cars in their garage and then taking them for a spin down some dirt lanes. The show is primarly aimed at those that enjoyed the classics and Hot Rods from the regular Roadkill show, but this has a little bit more of a bias towards Mopars and pickup trucks, which is mostly down to the hosts own preferences. Several fan favorite cars from Roadkill return to get extra upgrades or to see if they can run it down a drag strip. The Crop Duster and Crusher Camaro both return for make overs in several episodes. Unlike Roadkill, RKGarage airs primarily on Motor Trend on Demand, a paid monthly service which i absolutely recommend. Cheapest option is around £5/$7 a month and you get access to a host of other cool shows. Personally i would say the original content of Roadkill, RKGarage and Hot Rod Garage (among others) is worth the cost on its own. Overall i would wholeheartedly recommend Hot Rod Garage for the fun interaction between hosts, cool cars and interesting technical work done to them.
