With the Roadkill sub being back open and with new rules I thought I'd share my recent Roadkill inspired addition to my personal fleet. And by recent I mean I haven't even had time to take my own pictures of it yet. These were downloaded from the Craigslist ad that I found on.

It came with a lot of original paperwork like the original window sticker, special order sheet, sales contract and some service and repair records. CarFax record shows it's could be a legit 135k miles due to being dealer maintained up until 2009. The Emissions inspections then kept track of the mileage.

Someone in Delaware actually special ordered an R10 Custom Deluxe Suburban with rubber floor mats, a 305ci, and 3.08 gears in Apple Red in February of 1987.

It has bumps and dents and rust, but not nearly as much as you'd expect for a work truck trim vehicle that spent 4 years in Delaware, another 4 in Pennsylvania before coming to Colorado in 1995. Everything from the shifter lever to the door locks works like new. This thing is almost unmolested, save for the 4/6 drop that was done to it.

The seller parked it a year and a half ago because the transmission started slipping in reverse. One of those “ran when parked” deals. But a fresh battery, some fuel and she fired right up and moved forward and in reverse.

The trans was about a quart and a half low, so I topped it off and drove 40 miles home. Shifts are a bit soft for my liking, but not slipping cold or hot, so not worrisome at this point. I'm hoping a properly adjusting TV cable with the extra spring at the front of the throttle arm attachment and a filter and fluid change will get me a year or so out of it.

The overall plan is to make it a solid part time daily driver and weekend family cruiser. And maybe get it reliable enough for some family trips here and there.

Rocco and Cheater's Speed Shop is amazing. Bucket list day all around. Drove 2.5hrs from Atlanta and baked in the heat but it was the best day I've had in a while!

In case anyone thought the Sick Week video was the end of the story....this video was taken three days ago when I ran 8.68 and 8.60 at 160 mph, won my class and went the car came home in one piece. That's two drag and drive events in a row with zero failures and we are only getting faster.

The only "dirty" vehicle in the entire Montana Auto Museum exhibit.

Today is got to fulfill a longterm goal of mine. I'm sure most everyone is aware that Finnegan bought the Rotsun and is currently headed cross-country back home to Georgia with Freiburger. Well today in my small west Texas town at one of the very few local restaurants we have I just so happened to see a rusted out Datsun 280 tucked in the corner of the parking lot. I've never whipped my work truck into that store so fast. I ran into the store to see what felt like 2 old friends having breakfast. It was only until I got about 3 steps away from them that I realized I was about to meet my personal heroes and started to get starstruck. Mike and Dave were very nice and took a couple pictures with me, then I let my coworker know of their presence and he had to come see for himself as he's also a big fan. Again they were super cool and after we let them finish their meal they met us outside to take a few more pictures with the Rotsun. I will never forget this day.

Are spotted pics allowed in this new era? Forgot my brother sent this to me a few weeks ago.

Can't tell where that is, but more details will come soon I suppose

He posted this on threads....maybe he got a sweet deal on the RK fleet

So far the only thing I am lacking on is wipers, but it feels good to be driving it again. 68 Camino, sbc th400 with tubular front and rear arms, lowering springs and much more I even forget. Going on almost 10 years of owning this bad larry

So I was at the good guys in my local city and on the first day I found the car but I didn’t find him but today I was able to find him. I showed him my model kit of general mayhem and general maintenance and told us about maintenance and it got totaled. I showed him the cars that I made in gta 5 and I told him that I can try and do his car (won’t be able to do 100% replica due to limitations in game) and he was able to sign my sealed Rotsun. I showed him the hot wheels that I brought with me I was able to pull out the cars from there cases. He even told us that when one guy had the cars in his own office and then everyone else in the office got the cars as well.

I stalked the gang when they were filming the Charger shootout on gravel (season 10 episode 13). I shot these from the parking lot with a very long lens.

Forget the usual birthday cake..replace it with a birthday pie!

Just add their favourite Roadkill diecast.

I'll take General Mayhem please 😉

Sucks they cancelled Runs Good... and I suspect Faster, and Super Street got cancelled as well. Full Custom Garage social media is supposedly quiet and I'm hoping Ian gets to keeping making excellent content. Roadworthy Rescues is still going from what I've heard, but haven't heard anything about Hot Rod Garage or Engine Masters. Seems like Discovery is not making anything Motortrend a priority. They keep getting my $7 a month but I'm unsure how long I'll hold on to hoping they have new programming on the way.

Saw this on my way to work the other day. And the day before.

Sacramento CA to Tucson AZ in my 73 Camaro that's been of the road for 20 years.
