Episode Overview
Title: Freiburger vs. Finnegan $1,500-Car Showdown! Plot: In Episode 59 of Roadkill, fueled by Dodge, fans finally witness the long-awaited face-off between hosts David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan. The challenge? Each must purchase a vehicle for $1,500 to compete in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational in Las Vegas, with a twist: no American cars allowed. Finnegan chose a 1974 Honda Civic, affectionately dubbed Laphonda, while Freiburger opted for a rear-wheel-drive, rotary-powered 1985 Mazda RX-7. As expected, chaos ensues, featuring burnouts, adventurous road trips, engine failures, and plenty of desert antics—all for a combined total of $3,000 worth of vehicles.
