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

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...

These two episodes from May almost took a long walk off a short hard drive, but thanks to doing stuff with our brains, hereyago: Tesla's legacy issues with batteries and taxpayers, electric cars (replacement or runabout?), chicks from Georgia parking on the tracks (and the return of the bodycount conundrum), committing auto theft with a Ford, a big foot and cheap tech, two-step security and the ol...

Garage Hour goons go off about the stupid shed we warned you was going to happen - doesn't take much to figure out the future when you're a geek (2 + 2, cats and kitties).  Yes, truckers in Kalifornistan are going to revolt (80,000 repowers can't be wrong).  Yes, robot cars will try to kill you.  Yes, greenthink is pulling a Spy-VS-Spy and killing itself.  Yes, carbon dioxide haters are plant raci...

Try on this episode for a two-hour dissertation on how to get what's up (and not be fooled by the info snobs, liars and malcreators in the media).  We've got what's said versus what's meant (and what words mean), how to avoid a legacy of idiocy (Tide Pods & eye shots?), drilling down to what's real and what's fake, why bad PR is just bad PR, emotive hooks (what are they good for - absolutely nuthi...

Roads from the thought with a trip-think spectacular - freeway rules for signal-work, flow-merging, traffic-desnobbing and photo-enforcement unConstitutionalism.  It's geek stuff - what we overdo: while the Garage Hour goons are gear-deep in high-brained cross-country goodness, we consider more than just blacktop: windmill disposal failures, stop signs versus speed limits (physics versus rules), a...

You know you're popular when the citizens of your state call you "Gov. Toilet Scandal", and Illinois' elected rich snob has cemented his popularity by bulldozing legacy state resident Caterpillar.  ...And yeah, they're headed for Texas.  Meanwhile, the cops in that state's ritzy hamlet of Naperville are holding down the fort, especially when attacked by Paul Bunyan (insert axe-to-gunfight joke her...

Our friends at Focus on the Forest have built a grassroots non-profit that picks up trash just like we all should, and because the Garage Hour runs what we brung and hauls what we brought, we got together so you can too. Whether you're out in the woods for some four-wheeling, biking, shooting or climbing, this is the one time it's better to be a taker than a maker: take out your trash We've got th...

Go get lost - in the mountains, on some trails, in the canyons, in the woods, in some history. The Garage Hour goons (with 'froading fool Fred and his Walkin' Dude) are here to help with a few thoughts about being equipped for on-trail out-thereism, with ideas on straps to use (and to avoid), where you can get heavy-duty gear for a light-wallet price, and some other need-tos for your rig so the ne...

Here's something: The Man is after robot cars (but not for a reason that would fix the problem), rich guys are making the twits at Twatter crazier (because geek trumps nerd), Russian tanks are thwarted by Russian mud (how ironic), Chinese-made cameras are full of software and hardware back-doors (duhh), and how about that fool who idles 15 minutes waiting to park (in front of a hiking trail).  Mea...

TIme to push it down and lean back - it's a one-day sprint from here to there with Hostus Maximus Justin Fort. From rating the troopers in Illinois against the meter maids in the San Diego sector (so much copulence) and talking your way out of tickets, to good behavior in the car and road-trip expectations, we've got your pricey gas right here. Just don't ask for a Chevy Equinox - those big gals t...
