For more than a decade, Bitchin’ Rides followed Dave Kindig and our Kindig-it Design crew as we turned bold ideas into one-of-a-kind builds—everything from concours-level restorations to ground-up creations like the CF1. Eleven seasons later, we’re beyond grateful for the ride and the community that formed around it.

Why Is Season 11 the Finale?

In 2022, WarnerMedia and Discovery merged to form Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). In the streaming shuffle that followed, MotorTrend+ was shut down in early 2024, with most MotorTrend shows moving under WBD’s larger services (Discovery+ and Max) and other business changes behind the scenes. As part of this broader realignment, Season 11 is the final season of Bitchin’ Rides. ReutersPressroom+1Yahoo

Bottom line: It’s a merger into WBD and a consolidation of streaming platforms, which ultimately affected MotorTrend programming—including our show. Warner Bros. DiscoveryWIRED

A Note to the Fans

From day-one viewers to folks who discovered us recently, thank you. Your comments, questions, and meet-and-greets at shows kept the energy high in the shop. While the TV chapter closes with Season 11, Kindig-it Design isn’t slowing down—we’re still building, innovating, and showing up at events with fresh ideas (and fresh paint).
