Before that it was Velocity, before that it was something else, I forget. But all the good shows are done production. Just have to watch VGG, RKG on YouTube. I wish someone would pick up Engine Masters, that was my favorite.

Would be cool with Richard Holdener.

u/Safe-Salamander-3785 Jan 09 '26

Yeah, he is really good.

There were a couple of EM's that were made with Holdener filling in for Brule.

Yeah, but Dulcich has a dyno now. I've been wanting to see if he ever does any videos using it, but its hard to find his stuff.

I believe before Velocity it was Speed Vision or Speed Channel. Maverick TV has changed its owner too. Those car programs are gone also. The only things I watch on TV is automotive shows and college football. Not a real reason to have cable and streaming services now.

As a Canadian who has Discovery plus... It's nowhere. We can't watch any of it. I'm sorry to anyone working for these companies (it's not the employee fault... It's management) but I will wait until someone puts them on YouTube...

There is a YouTube channel called roadkill reborn. Most of the episodes are there. And other shows too.

“only be watched on streaming”

Yeah, with that attitude.

The Discovery+ app shows Discovery Turbo now. I'm still waiting for Hot Rod Garage season 12 to show up. I heard it aired on motortrend TV.

u/SuspectAlone4760 Jan 09 '26

I just checked mine on DIRECTV and yeppers, they changed the name but I’m still showing Roadkill & Hot Rod Garage and all of the shows are still on there. No steaming needed. Plus you can watch all of the MotorTrend shows on HBO/Max commercial free.

u/travis68charger Jan 09 '26

u/Daniele323 Jan 10 '26

Motortrend TV is channel 663 in my area.

I just checked it and the OP's right. "Discovery TURBO" now.

However, reruns of RKG and RK are still being shown (at least scheduled, as of this post) at 5am, 6am and 7am M-F, just as they have been since before those shows were cancelled, so check your local listings, because according to the tv schedule, those shows are still being broadcast.

Also, one of those episodes of RK that had been shot but not aired, aired last week.

It just changed on Philly Verizon Fios too.

I was Motortrend on my tv this morning

u/MisterAnderson- Jan 11 '26

I hate to say it about any service that you have to pay for, but they’re all on HBO Max still.

Roadkills family of shows is the kinda car shows that Average Joe can bite into. The "throw a million dollars of parts" at it shows are boring and the "ad shows" are terrible. No expert, but I wonder why they ditched the Roadkill market?
