In this thrilling Roadkill episode by MotorTrend Channel, we witness the hilarious chaos that ensues when guest host Dirted Dave Chappelle fills in for the injured Mike Finnegan. The team sets off on a daring road trip from Ashland City, Tennessee, to Florida's Amelia Island in a beat-up 1978 Pontiac Trans Am. Despite the car's decrepit state, they valiantly attempt to revive it with starter fluid and some makeshift repairs, facing challenges like rust and water damage along the way. The determination to get the old Trans Am running is palpable, showcasing the team's unwavering spirit and love for automotive adventures.

As the team struggles with the rusty relic, they decide to switch gears and opt for a 1980 Turbo Trans Am for the journey. This newer model presents its own set of quirks, including unattached rocker skin and malfunctioning headlights, adding to the comedic yet thrilling nature of their escapade. The crew tackles the Turbo 350 automatic transmission's issues head-on, addressing low fluid levels and swapping it out for a spare one salvaged from a Firebird. The successful transmission replacement marks a turning point in their journey, enhancing the car's performance and setting the stage for further repairs at Vice Grip Garage.

At Vice Grip Gardens, the team dives into the nitty-gritty of fixing up the Turbo Trans Am, revealing the underside of the car and the extent of its mechanical woes. Despite the challenges and setbacks faced along the way, the crew's passion for cars and determination to make the journey to Amelia Island shines through. With a newfound sense of accomplishment and a rejuvenated Trans Am, the team gears up for the next leg of their adventure, showcasing the true essence of Roadkill's spirit - resilience, camaraderie, and a whole lot of automotive mayhem.
