On the premiere episode of Roadkill, HOT ROD's David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan head to El Paso, TX with money and a mission - to find a car they can buy, fix up, and drive back to Los Angeles. The catch? They only have $1500 bucks to do it, and they need to sell it on eBayMotors.com before they get home!
After rebuilding a '68 Ford Ranchero, the guys head north to Alaska for some ice racing but encounter major obstacles along the way.
In a suped up '79 Bronco, the guys face off against an '80 Toyota pickup and an '87 Suburban in the off-road Cheap Truck Challenge.
Braving snow and a carsick dog, the duo drive to Sparks, Nevada to buy and install a new engine for a '69 El Camino in record time.
The duo spend the day cruising around in a 2012 Lamborghini and a 1930 Model A rat rod, so they can find out which car attracts the most attention.
Just for kicks, the guys have clunker-bashing competition, putting a '90 Dodge conversion van against an '87 Buick wagon.
