Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

So much to upload - sorry, so busy...  Garage Hour is on it, though, so don't 'fraid dat: we've got a goodly gearhead glob of geeksauce here.  Undercar neon, roundhouses for parking your locomotive and your caboose, sawzalls and reciprocating burglars, driverless cabs, moralless robots, reliabilityless Fords, and the Novembre open-wheel Pike's Peak hillclimber for sale.  There's more car-guy stuff...

Yummmm, segminty. Good stuff:  The crap you bolt on your roof is a legitimate threat to your vehicle - wear and tear, fluid abuse and suspension decrepitation.  Serious gearhead Jay Leno is saved from reallllllly bad burns by friends in his garatch.  Carvana is choking on the reality of artificial pressures on capitalism ala Kung Flu.  European Union bureaucrats are still pretending they can drive...

You can't get this kind of awesomeness without a warrant (or a prescription). This Garage Hour does geek right, with a firearm-friendly amendment in Iowa, big AM-talk in San Diego (board-ops, fer shur), the risk science poses to senseless sinners, why New Yorkers are scared shedless of chintzy scooters from pinko China (apartment flambé, anyone?), and why Kevin Bacon can't hold a candle to our "Tw...

It's another pile of gearhead supersauce. ...Learning to read vehicle dynamics and understand where your car's "squish" is (and some thoughts on how to tune that thing so it goes left and right right). ...How Occum's Razor applies to traffic "circles" (the illustrious round-about, another thing that should have stayed in England) and why people keep dying on them. ...The basic math of salt water +...

These aren't ideas you haven't had, but the Gearhead Coinsultancy got together in Black Forest with The Walkin' Dude to remind you why the basics matter with you've got one foot to spare between dropping 100ft into a washout and crawlin' the high side to your knobby-tired doom.  Easy things: truck-training your kids and dogs, knowing your rig's behavior under duress, managing yourself and avoiding...

Yeahhhh, we've been slacking - too much on one plate.  No worries, though, because the Gearhead Consultancy got the Second Amendment episode screwed together that we've been promising you, and it's a deusie: everything from historic tales of armed citizens worldwide (and the dictators being dicts who disarmed them), background check fires, what the 3% actually looks like, and reinforcing your chil...

Do YOU know better than to put propane in your Tesla's tires?  Do YOU know Teslas need special gas that doesn't come from the gas station?  ...Then YOU might be smarter than the college laureates who could buy one but not own them.  College... While we're at it: be nice to truckers (say it again, uh!), be wary of connecting your heater to your 'fridge to your A/C to your electricity (the internet...

The Garage Hour would like to present you this barnyard of proclivities as gathered by Hostus Maximus Justin Fort on a cross-country dash to Mom's...  The transit quesiton: why do some folks think we should be regressing with electric cars and trucks?  The power question: who's going to want a car they can't fill up (brownouts, anyone?)?  ...And the control issue: what happens when there's so litt...

Been slackin'!  Garage Hour's got too much on its plate, and we're chewing like mad to get back to you - in as-soon-as-it's-fixed gearhead time.  We've got some goodness for you here: more left-turn-on-green intersection violence (somebody's up to something) and a revisitation of Asimov's rules (technology's not on your side), speaker repair fun (geeks don't chuck it, they fix it), and how Ford's...

Get wound up and the oddball icing stacks up.  From the accelerating failure of Ford's useless electric trucks (as heralded by the frauds at Autoweek ) to a strange-by-creepy exposé of intersections that put traffic at odds (and who's in control of what), plus bearing witness to an in-situ near dive-bomb on law enforcement by a not-very-piloted Tesla...  With a late-night radio chaser from Red Eye...

We've got places to be!  Get out of the Garage Hour's way, because there's bike parts, buckets, lumber, hangars, tire irons, fuel cans, straps, chains, come-alongs, brooms, ducting, coolers, bungees and street signs to be found.  That, plus traffic's Accordion Effect, an iPod that knows where we're going, American-style legal reforms in a third-world jungle, and a whole lot of analysis about rich...

(Not) lost in the woods with the gearhead goons - Hostus Maximus Justin Fort joins the Walkin' Dude at his Black Forest shop for an hour to work through finding the newest small-dollar commuter.  In this case, it's an $800 third-gen 4Runner, and we've got deets on how to find your own: what to look for, what's it "need", how to find the "panic point" and how a good truck CAN be more than the sum o...

No, it's not Dude Food, it's good tortillas versus crap fuel, plus corn, cane and calories, as well as the mailman's budget sticking its foot up the bureaucrats' exhaust port.  You can't keep down this much gearhead goodness - it's the second of May's Lost Garage Hours.  What else wasn't lost?  A PO FU to President Hair-sniff McBranden, some fine riffs (and whose are they?), a gearhead goodbye to...
