MotorTrend Ending Roadkill, Production Company

The news of Roadkill's end has been met with disappointment by many fans, who have expressed their support for the show and its hosts on social media. MotorTrend has thanked fans for their support and has encouraged them to continue following the Roadkill team's future endeavors.
