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

The answer is "crap!" Geeks ain't fooled by a thin logic, and Hostus Maximus Justin Fort goes late-night weirdsauce (and possibly some other places) on the safety fraud that DRLs have become. Because there's always situational affects, there's also a look at good running lights on semis and bikes, lane-spltting, single DRLs and marker lights, and a little on why "automatic" headlights are not very...

From green lawns versus gravel yards (cop-out) to the human question of whether you're less of one if your car is more man than you, the Garage Hour doesn't phone it in. We've got the real-world impact of folks who can't figure out how their headlights work (uhhh, taillights are good), plus a hard look at the new trend for the victims of Tesla's robot-drive auto-wash self-steering crashes to sue f...

Let's do the thing - great rock (QOTSA all day), great crashes (who needed that yacht), earth-shaking stamping mills, loads of government graft on the back of fraudulent electric transit unicorn farts, the mystery of disappearing nuke plants, and 'You Can't Quit Me Baby". While we're at it: Gillig Phantoms, dump trucks, sinkholes, Arby's, Miata VS Mustang, and if you know what you're doing, why ca...

Down in the lab... It's a 1% battery episode: Hostus Maximus Justin Fort's tank was on empty for this one, but somehow a good think-piece happened.  There's reports on the health of our Second Amendment (w/ improvements!), cannon building versus cannon owning, money-making schemes from the Asterisk administration, and being the 2A every day. Surprises: Joke Biden was wrong again, arm braces brace...

PPIHC 2021 is in the books, and the Garage Hour goons were in the mix (George's, baby!). From early on the hill to fine sips afterwards (plus a little racing), we were in it and we have tales to tell.  Drivers?  Shute, Dallenbach, Dumas, Millen, Astier, Vasholtz, Schrantz, Donahue, Clay, Pobst and 100 more.  Cars?  LMPs, sprinters, stockers, Trans-Am, Cadillac, Porsche, BMW, Bentley, Camaro and Mu...

Four hours of mixing better be worth a nut - the Garage Hour captured a truckload of mamma's muffins during practice and testing at the PPIHC, and spliced the sexiest sounding road-racey bits into this episode.  There's tales of awesome from George's, Double-Cut and Cog, with Millen(s), Donahue, Becker, Crouch, Vasholtz, Gogelein, Wickstrum, Dallenbach, Strauch and Fouch. There's also hotter plugs...

The Garage Hour asks: is your kid gun-safe?  Borne of a perfect rant that took shape in the garadtch and made it all the way to the mic, we went for broke on 2A goodness and wound up with a whole episode. There's also details of Texas' embrace of "Constitutional carry", the court's arsing of Kalifornistan's "assault" weapon ban, an ammo company's feelings on Biden voters, and, oh yeah, 7,000,000 A...

#Becausegearhead - it's the first-ever Garage Hour.  Combine big-AM talk radio w/ a first-time show host who's just found out how to talk to more people about cars, trucks, beers and guns, and that's this.  From facts on the disaster caused by Obama's auto bailout (local impact, attacks on Republican dealership owners, Ford's debt, and why GM and Chrysler ain't cool anymore) to a little ditty abou...

So much good stuff! The gearhead goons use clay bars for perfect paint (technique and tricks): clay behavior and quality, keeping the clay (and the paint) clean, detailer versus water (enabling the slide), and putting clay to stuff that's not auto paint (yuuuup!).  There's also hillclimbing and Pikes Peak Hillclimb (coming up, plus Indy just passed), fun roads in Colorado, track snobs versus motor...

Shooting from the hip never was better radio - great pile of gearhead goodness here, including tips and tricks for automotive detailing (with detailer - Mother's, Griot's, ECP, Glaze Distributing, and buying in bulk).  There's also a useful thought-piece on the proper storage of gasoline - with everyone putting it in garbage bags nowadays, we'd probably best notify Darwin. More?  DetailGuide.com f...

Toyota corporate gets out against electric cars while Joe Basement plays down for the "struggle" (ahem, dog whistle?), impossible physics of UFOs (transmedium, anyone?) and WW2 gerry cans, giant TV screens and hot ads add to distracted driving (thanks, Ford)...  Why not double down and throw hot peppers in your eyes, (Hell) spoken poetry, and polymathematical paws (now, with thumbs).  Because gear...

Put an ongoing gearhead and a retired agency guy on-air and there's no telling what will happen.  Drop them in a live setting (like Colorado's Trinity Brewing Company ) and you'd better hide the cask.  Special guests include Tall Jon, First Jon and Clark's Beard. This time, it was a grand pile of geek speak, with specialized weapons, gerry cans, the Dude Food Beta Kitchen (with panko, crumbles and...

A little bit of everything in this one...  US taxpayers get screwed by big gov't contractors (as well as the supremacy of the B-1B, F-35 and F-22), turbocharger fixes for Subaru Legacy Outbacks and the EJ-255 (JB Weld!), how two-fisted royal Prince Phillip created his own hearse with a custom Land Rover pickup, how green energy is destroying Germany one industry at a time, and the mess that is ill...
