Roadkill is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Roadkill understands that the format only works if the people in it feel real. Ride along with Hot Rod's David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan as they continue their love/hate relationship with hot rods, street machines and other highly strung performance vehicles. In Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan hit the road in everything from a 1968 Ford Ranchero to a 1500 horsepower Camaro called the F-Bomb. Just getting to their destination is an adventure. Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger give it a personality the format doesn't always earn. 13 seasons (2012–2024) gave the story room most shows never get. The format has been replicated endlessly since Roadkill first appeared, which is its own form of tribute. It sustains a level of quality that very few manage to hold onto all the way through.

Best watched with company, Roadkill generates takes from everyone in the room. The tonal similarities to The Couple Next Door are real, though Roadkill carves out its own identity quickly. The 13-season run rewards the patience it asks of you. The format has been copied endlessly since Roadkill first appeared, which is the most honest tribute the industry knows how to give. Impossible to watch casually.
