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

One of those raining in the garadtch/lab in defilade/tech in freakout Garage Hour shows where an absolute pile of unthunk topics turn into really good gearhead radio.  Go figure: everything from the press-release media's attempts to paper over low repeat-purchase numbers for hybrids and electrics to great old parts boxes and what we find inside (inluding crashy bits from an otherwise great canyon...

The Garage Hour's got gearhead news (because people seem to like it), so hereyago: - DC carkackings, lousy "expert" drivers, Ryan Hampton on lousy journalist drivers, and police who shouldn't be street racing (because they're not very good). - More new-car suspension parts falling off, this time of Subies. - Why dependence on global markets is a bad thing. - More tales of why Tesla's Auto Creepy-D...

...Crammed it all into this one.  Script writer: go script yourself.  With a device-thwarting free-news cable-cobbling in-lab intro, this is classic Garage Hour goodness.  Better hydrate.  Fried cheese curds, cheating Chinese Teslas, F1 or circle-track, Bilstein 5100 and 6112 on under your 4Runner, de-Wayneing the NRA, U.S. bombers in India and John Ratcliffe's UFOs. Even more: Body Armor?  Drank...

From haversacks to FIPG, Boogerbutt and B-sides, booing Seinfeld and ewwing Yuengling, Justin #2's Tourette's and the curdish (cheese) apocalypse, UZIs and a .38 in the briefcase, plus donations to the Cajun Navy and situational awareness, it's an alchivated Garage Hour (now, with beer!).  This episode was originally oriented towards fine sips at Trinity Brewing and some discussion of good tactics...

Surprisingly good gearhead talk radio right here (and it's pure rando-power): you can't fight skill of this magnitude without a prescription (or a warrant).  There's pork shoulder on the grille and Richard III's skeleton under the parking lot, a thought or two on United Airlines hiring people because of their ability to fly to Duluth, and a reminder that it's tool time (spring means folks have the...

Creepy pinko nerds have infested the White House and they're after your liberties, particularly your right to roam. Among them is a second-generation marxist and small-town mayor who couldn't get potholes paved, Pete Buttgieg. While preaching his gospel, he made the mistake of saying the quiet part out loud, admitting he and his statist cronies want to track every mile you drive and CHARGE YOU FOR...

It's gearhead news from the Garage Hour: stuff goin' on that you ought to know. - Ford ships a $900,000,000 plant to Mexico after promising its workers it would be in Ohio. - How leaving your $60,000 Wrangler in low-four while towing is a 52,000rpm mistake. - A rich Chinese guy gets out of a crash-tantrum in New York City by waving the elitist-pity sign. - A funny tale of how to cause billions in...

Don't start drinking too beforehand.  In this selection of random consulting, the Garage Hour does sawzalls (sorry, reciProcating saws) and blowtorches, a review of butane VS MAPP, the false sense of safety caused by electronic stability nannies, soup VS goulash (w/ a two-meat chili chaser), plus real beer chasers @ Trinity Brewing like Soul Horkey, Slap Yer Mammy, Garden of the Hops, Raspberry Ko...

The Garage Hour goons have Second Amendment news you ought'a know: - Is gun control code for people control? - A list of companies that use the money you pay them to attack the 2A (some you might know). - Why leftist and marxist neurotics are desperate to thwart the 2A (because it's a threat to them). - New reps speak out on how 2A rights are even more valuable to poor, inner city taxpayers (who n...

Jeez - this episode is all over the place.  From Led Zeppelin VS Southern Culture on the Skids to Ray's blimp-bomb over Akron, you're not going to be able to find your seat.  We couldn't even find the door.  Fortunately, there's lots of goodies: a review of pegboard (poseur alert?), the new Garden of the Gods Beer Train, some overenthusiastic geeking around on rollaways and cowboy movies, and some...

Gearhead News #2: you ought'a know this. - The gov't wants to waste more of your money on the barely solvent USPS with electric mail vans (because windmills worked out so well). - Ford's new Broncos are falling apart because of a shortage of bolts (did management forget how to?). - Archeologists dug a chariot out of Pompeii's pyroclastic cement (would your Camaro last that long?). - The F-35 keeps...

Forgot we did this one...  Garage Hour goons do lots of towing, and there's some easy to-dos that'll get it done.  From truck and trailer to balls and hitches, there's tricks and technique that you might have missed (and we have already done wrong twice so you won't). Like a good gearhead, there's more: trailer, truck and tire maintenance, good co-pilots, and why what you're hauling matters.  Grav...
