Description

After 11 seasons and more than 150 episodes, Bitchin' Rides was one of the biggest custom car shows on television. But despite producing award-winning builds and drawing massive global audiences, the cameras suddenly stopped rolling. In this video, we uncover the behind-the-scenes realities of what really happened to Kindig-It Design. We break down the massive 2022 network merger that forced the show's exit, the shocking time Dave and Charity were physically escorted off their own property by a hostile investor, and the harsh legal realities of high-stakes custom builds. Finally, we look at why trading network TV for YouTube was the smartest move the shop could have made.
