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

You asked for it... Well, technically, White Mark's wife got called in for double surgery so we just ran to the garage and started pouring powder and Gilark Whiskey (version-four rye AND version-five bourbon). What resulted? Hot .308s for the M24 (Nosler + Hornaday +Winchester + Vargit = 2500fps), a bunch of shaped and cleaned brass, and a wide-ranging chat about what goes into making good ammo (...because if you want it to be super, you've got to MAKE it super.), with recapping, resizing, case lube, work-hardening, and some geekly mechanical catharsis. Seriously, this one is stacked: how to sniff out a fed at the range (and how bad gov makes us all paranoid), stick VS flake, tricklers for powder, .30-06s and 5.56 at the range, lands jumping, breech wear, how not to get attacked by bears in Alaska and Mark's family in Louisiana, a little Dude Food segment, and some good tunes.

Straight from the no-math Greek-'froading bipedal-maintenance intro, it's a full hour of gearhead supremacy. Two big topics loom: tech versus you (and two of the nastiest manifestations of the threat, including what's being done with your data and what the Chinese are doing with self-driving cars), plus a chaser about carmakers having to lie about electric car sales numbers because no one wants them. From there, we've got what sensible carmakers like Ford and Toyota are doing (running away from electrics), while woketarded outfits like GM are barreling headlong into battery-powered doom. ...Epoch Times and Legal Insurrection provided articles for this show. There's also a little something about caffeination and hydration with sauce from the pickle ball pros at Holey Performance. ...Because you're already dirty: good whiskey, bad investments, the Caprice versus the Crown Vic, and rock from COC, Bowie, Ninja, Graveyard Farmers, Electronic Excursions, and Southern Culture.

It's an afternoon at AutoVos with Brown Caleb, White Mark and Hostus Maximus Justin Fort. There's a good chat on recoloring your coach with the new SVG dry PPF (SVGIP.com), tinting technique (using XPel), and a secret tint job for a Porsche that's heading for Kansas, and a visit from the Boys in Brown (trucks) carrying the new dealer kit from SVG for Caleb. As per the usual, the gearhead goons get off course and have fun with the goodness: snorkels and rooftop tents (boo!), gun purchase numbers for Q1 in 2024 (yay!), and Nurburgring versus LeMans versus the Pike's Peak Hillclimb (soon). It's in there: a 996 Carrera 2 and a 997 Carrera 4S Targa, Porsche hand placement, Dos Santos for lunch, Putin's aversion to alcohol, Albright's aversion to Putin and JustMark's aversion to Albright on SMG753.

Phew! We'll get back on track ASAP - there's a few episodes waiting to be put together, and the Garage Hour goons are on it. This show's pretty gearhead: a prayer for John Force, whose funny car wasn't very (just add kerploding), a chat w/ our old buddy David Lozeau about how Jap cars, trucks and bikes parts were freakin' perfect in the '90s, how Toyota's fighting with bureaucrats about testing standards in the 2020s, why Ford's first-gearing F-150s are failing while Chrysler's reverse cameras don't see much, and why batteries and electric cars are running out of ways to pretend they're viable. Sources include Breitbart, Yahoo, Asia News and Cowboy State Daily... While we're in there: Challenger 4-8-8-4 4014 is once again roaming the Midwest (apparently pulling the city of Cheyenne behind it), Pennsylvanians put $10 million in the garbage, and an excellent weirdo sendoff for "Kelly's Heroes" standout Donald Sutherland, plus Prodigy, Josh Wink, Chemical Bros., Prong, Orbital and KMFDM.

An out-of-order episode from Gearhead Consultantcy - blame the psychic iPod: hillclimb and mountain details for race fans attending this year's 102nd PPIHC… This is a special thing, and thanks to the officials, organizers, racers and crews that make it possible (with a little help from the Garage Hour), you can better sink your teeth into one of America's most iconic motorsports to-dos. …Spots to spectate, locations to get to, background on names and why they matter, plus neatos like the flyby at Glen Cove, getting airborne at Engineers, the other side of Bottomless Pit, natural terrain versus "built" roads, why George's Corner is the best spot on the hill, and yelling at photographers. Then again, it's the Garage Hour, so there's more: why all the trees fell down, weed whacking your leg for fun and pain, hidden reserviors, Sesame Street versus the Muppets, Fisker's refail bankruptsy, personal hillclimbing versus 100% race, driving music for brainly balance, and tracks from the Hillclimb Special.

…Lots of parts to this episode, but they fit: with Faith No More on the soundtrack, Hostus Maximus Justin Fort does everything from excellent Dude Food (fine sirloin and the only way to enjoy fish tacos), a revelation of historic WW2 Jap tunnels under Okinawa by NHK, scary details of federal bureaucrats trying to double the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (and send taxpayers to the poorhouse), and a proper sendoff for NFL standout (back when the NFL was worth a shed) and seriously powerful dude Larry Allen, whose pleasant normalcy made him an excellent weirdo. While that's afoot, there's a leg too: Joe Biden's basement ruining Rubio's, electricity, trees and NASCAR (or what's left of it), UPS stalkers, new automotive crime from gangs in NYC, and some cool WW2 history.

So much episodery coming… This one's a deusie - everything that's going on to mess with your gearhead and geek existence. From GM torpedoing the Malibu to Kalifornistan blowing up your right to roam, it's in there. Remember, just because you don't care about politics doesn't mean politicians don't want to screw you. There's some good stuff to be heard on this episode, though - longtime contender for Best Boss Ever Col. Doug Hamlin just got voted in to fix the NRA, Texas AG Ken Paxton just scored one for America versus Biden's basement, and rock and/or roll with Melvins, Union Underground, Puny Human, Atomic Bitchwax, Adema, Ennio Morricone, Deftones and Killing Joke.

Finally, something good comes of enabling: enable your garage to do more gearhead things (and stuff)! Just Mark, Just Caleb and Justin sit down amongst the Porsches at the new AutoVos (Caleb bought out EAS and went independent) for an hour of making garages better. Stop polishing the door handles and think bigger: (tasteful) additions of more floor and door, coating and levelling those floors, getting more work underway with ramps and stools, expanding the tools available with better boxes, plus seasonal enhancement with heating and drainage, and while we're thinking big, how about building up with a second story and a bridge to the house? There's so much more: a semi drag races a Rav4, Ruger makes a nice .22, the Dutchese sell a pricey Stryker, Great Divide, Big Sky, Cerviceria and Trinity brew fine beers, catwalks make a handy way to repel the hipster hordes, plus Man or Astroman, Galactic, Pantera, Dead Milkmen, Fugazi, Truckfighters and Five Horse Johnson.

While sipping some super sauce at local brewer Pike's Peak (home of too much wind and a few excellent beers), Hostus Maximus Justin Fort did a fine observational study of quarter-powered spray and wand car care. With details on doin' from brush cleaning to pressure application, to some not-tos to avoid that will turn your car washing adventure into a frizzle-fry of your fancy finish, this episode's got it: some BMWs, a Pilot and a Legacy, some Mustangs and the Cutlass Two-Degrees Theory, a 4Runner, some mud, and some strange pepperoni-armed top-knots who have the car-care acumen of a left-handed turnip. While he's at it: Mother's Detail Guide, too much pressure or not enough kid, Chef Jeff, the Minnesota Cohost Report, dogs, geese, fat people, inside brooms and rocks for railcars.

What does your Second Amendment right to defend your person, people and property have to do with the government-funded effort to reinvade rural lands with man-eating (and livestock-eating, dog-eating, kid-eating and small car-eating) apex predators? Federal interference in your life. …Government overreach, bureaucratic N.I.M.B.Y.ism, a collectivist enthusiasm for a forced march into urban squalor, and the slippery statist fever dream of an empowered state at the expense of you, me and we - the independent American. Sh!t's getting weird fast - opt in to protect yourself now, cats and kiddies. Some episodes go together like white on rice, but this guy was hanging in the lurch for weeks. It's got lots: running with a sidearm, Mad Cow for deer now, 700,000,000 standard-cap mags, AR-15s under assault, and loads of Deadbolt - plus some.

Gearhead Consultants and Garage Hour hosts Justin Case and Marking Time met up high above the city to watch it all burn during our recent eclipsalypse. Rounds were chambered, pizza from Sprouts was et, and beers from Red Leg, Pike's Peak, Outer Range and Dry Dock were sipped, but unfortunately, no pepperoni armed pajama perp apocalypse was thwarted, not even in the driveway. Fortunately, Justin and Justmark didn't mind missing "shoot, shovel and shut up" because doin's were to be discussed: a positive word or three about hybrid automotive technology, the growing dumbness of nanny tech in cars, Eneos sneg for fun and kitchen, Van Café and LaRue for edible freebies, and Dude Food ala dove and grilled sirloin from Omaha Steaks. Don't forget the sauce: Led Zeppelin, free televisions, Gold Camp Road, apocalypse booze and getaway vehicles, some guns, historical eclipses, more electric car fails, and Chuck Norris.

So much good stuff… From better and worse James Bonds (Connery versus Moore, the right and wrong Brosnhan… Brosnan… Brosnahan…. Remington Steele, and the "other" Bonds) to Lotus Esprit (and which one) versus DB5, DB7, 750, and AMX versus Javelin, the Gearhead Consultancy promises to ricochet off the point. Bond guns. Bond villains. Octopussy versus A View to a Kill. Pussy Galore versus Verper Lynn. Add to that a celebration of crappy guns, like an A5 Remington 1911 that shoots itself, a break-action Rossi that only shoots on safe, and Jim's Thumper, a personal pocket five-round .44 Special super-snub that'll deafen the bad guy whether or not the round hits anyone. Also, Bond tunes ala ska band (what?): Skatellites, Roland Alfonso, McCartney, G n' R, Duran Duran and the Propellerheads. Also also, very nice sips from FH Beerworks, Living the Dream and Epic Brewing.

…Catching up with the episode backlog - only more to go. Played in and out by Snail (more happy bluesy doom, says Conan), this Garage Hour's got everything you like. Cars and trucks (why to never buy a rental car, and diagnosing your short-bed problems), beers and guns (well, a ton of Second Amendment info about how states like Colorado and Kalifornistan are still seeking to disarm you shortly before seting grizzly bears and wolves loose in your back yard). There's also chainsaw-grade shorts, the better "Blade Runner", a look at how much ammo you keep (hint: probably not enough), ATF fails, and a sendoff for excellent weirdos Paul "Iron Lung" Alexander and Emmit "You Didn't Know You Knew Me" Walsh.

…Like a kid full of candy who won't shut up and go to sleep, it's the episode that would't go to bed - so much doin' and so little time. Well, it's done: Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and Porsche Boy JustMark met up in the hills for fine sopressata, Irish whiskey (that loved Justin but hated Mark) and a chat about pocket pistols - commonly called a "micro" nowadays. From Derringers to Jennings and S&Ws and LCPs, the gerhead consultants whip it out and compare misfires. When it was all said and done, it was just stuff we like (or like to hate): Jaegermeister, Kennewick Man, glue versus screws, Grenadier versus 4Runner, Hickock .45, stoned drivers, Trotski, used Porsches and guns, das hooter, Porschelish and Japlish, Metzger engines, old retaining walls, old steel and old mining history. Oh yes, plus Apocalypse Now, Heart of Darkness, Air America, Wooley Bully, Tour of Duty, Dredd and Riddick.

While the cohosts are away building bumpers, bullets and blackout tint, Hostus Maximus will play (with Tomahawk, all show long). Gasoline and caffeine. 7mm-08 and .308. Bourbon and coffee. iMacs, iPhones and iCars (win, win and lose). Automakers losing their electric religion as shoppers lose the fad. Integra and Cutlass. Woke fails at 30,000ft and corporates bail on ground-level politics. Meanwhile, we've got some stand-in cohosts: Dave Mustaine, Thomas Sowell, Layne Staley, Mike Patton, Rob Zombie, plus CHUDS, troglodites, morlochs and the lung brush.

What do you get for the episode that has everything? This cut of the Garage Hour with Justin, Justmark and Justcaleb even sports a backup Caleb (in the form of his sensible son Liam), who schools the newbs on smart kid firearm rules, and Justmark on MySpace humor. Just to be thorough, there's a race report from this year's 24 Hours at Daytona, a range report on an almost-on M24 in .308 and a never-off Weatherby Vanguard in 7mm-08, a reloading report featuring Hornaday, Vargit, AA, boat-tails, NATO M80s and fire-formed brass, and a wayout report on what old hamburgers and Jap bombs from WW2 have in common. It's in there: advice for children about guns (from a kid who appears to know well enough), Green Street and McCurdy's Bodyworks in Pasadena, the best (and least) U.S. presidents, plus rye bread.

Alien technology (might be fun at parties but probably won't solve anything). While we're at it, Hostus Maximus Justin Fort revels in the old Party Point 'Squatch Runs, Justmark's M1A, tales of cohosts like The Jaimz and Dirty Dave, crime versus law and order (and citizens living in an upside-down world that makes the Second Amendment even more important), Uncle Doug's Northstar-powered Caddy versus Dad's Lincoln, and what it means for a tire to actually work in sheddy snowy situations. There's also a lot of red meat in this episode for Jeep haters, bureaucratic fakers, tire deflators and Eurocrat takers. More more more: Foghat, Deep Purple, Get Shorty, Dennis Farina and John Travolta, plus Ryan's whiskey, Leslie's Miata and Churchill's quote.

Who's doing what this summer? You'd better get some things figured because whether it's Tail of the Dragon, 24 Hours of LeMans, JF Summit, or just a few runs at Palomar, any high-Q gearhead fun requires a little foresight (even if that just means inflating tires)…. But you'll need to survive that long to make anything happen, so the Gearhead Consultancy chats up a few home-defense shotgun options (870, 500 and 1300, for example), and factors for recalcitrant applicant-operating cohost PK JustCaleb. JustMark and JustIn are here to help - like any good geek should be. Want more? The value of dummy rounds for loading practice. A silenced .22 varmint slayer. Cale Yarborough and Alex Trebeck (R.I.P., you excellent weirdos). Knives from CFK, David Yellowhorse, Hill & Creek, Whiskey Bent and Cold Steel. Some suggestions for your next home inspection. Also, a bunch of road racing madness (because we can't not).

So much junk in this trunk… Zippos and hippos and chrome-plated nipples, plus a fancy Luftkraft shift knob cohost PK Caleb (ala EAS) bought for the Porsche he hasn't yet. Hostus Maximus Justin Fort's reports from the Tanner Gun Show illuminated more than overprices ammo (unless you're willing to bundle bullets) - yes, used and new pew-pews are starting to act affordably again (so don't sit on your hands). He also picked up a neato flexy Bad Ass (straight out'a Texas) IWB holster for one of the compacts, which iridium 192-soaked cohost Isotope of Mark immediatedly coveted, but he managed to slake his thirst with a scouterized M1A he built for why nots… Hey, it's the Garage Hour - because why not is why enough. Whyle we're at it: proprietary Japanese rounds, the NRA has been DeWayned (probably should'a mentioned that sooner), Norma's making a .22LR that'll drop squirrels at 500 yards, and shotguns for Caleb, R.L.O. Custom Leather for Mark and risotto for Justin. Hell yes, we're awesome.

Whyle we're at it: proprietary Japanese rounds, the NRA has been DeWayned (probably should'a mentioned that sooner), Norma's making a .22LR that'll drop squirrels at 500 yards, and shotguns for Caleb, R.L.O. Custom Leather for Mark and risotto for Justin. Hell yes, we're awesome.

Some times you feel like a nut (such as after an episode of the Garage Hour), and some times the recording software miscodecs a segment and you have to redrop the file raw. Whoops. So! …Here's the lost November episode of the show the gearhead goons warned you about - chock full of the goodness you demand - so at least there's that: making freeways fun (especially in an uncorked 5.0), the Mr. Dustin Report (Miatas and dollars and go-fast habits), the UPS chick getting truckjacked (and another lady losing a bag of space tools because it wasn't from Louis Vitton - in space!), Fisker preplans its flight from Kalifornistan, Tesla versus Toyota versus the same failing bureaucleptocracy, more guns for everyone (1 mill just last month), fewer rules from the ATF (Dems can't buy a law, let alone a vowel), and an orthodontist in North Carolina who's giving away Glocks (because why not?). There's always more: cops have a tough job so be nice (especially in NY), fun fuzzy music from the '70s, why we all should want more forest fires and CO2, hunting two-headed whitetails in Canadia, and who needs enemies when you have family?

Caffiene and Christmas go together (because you can't handle one without the other), and the Gearhead Consultancy is up to its gills in it to get through this episode. P.K. outrovert Caleb of EAS and Radar Mark, Porsche man and sticker fan, joined Hostus Maximus Justin "Type A" Fort for this pre-holiday freeforall, and it's got everything. Buying a beater but not falling into the "too nice" trap, wailing on expensive cars and because why not, battleships and their powder, rifles and their tuning, horny bucks and their antlers, left-eye dominance and its downsides, flagging noboby and who cares, Bring- A-Trailer and its stalkers, and psychic iTunes and its creepiness. What, more? Border Patrol Raptors, used FJs, Beetles and Vanagons and pickups (oh my), abusing Porsches for fun and employment, new Broncos (not so much), and a black P1800.

It's Christmastime, so why not grab the punching handle by the blondes and try the Home Depot China Challenge yourself? …Because the gearheads in your life like what we like, we have ideas: fine waxes (Zymol), special sips (Gilark Creekwater rye whiskey, Axe & Oak, and 291), good tools (used or new, it's about the function), obscure watches (make the effort), tint and clear-bra from E.A.S., slot cars, Atari and N64, and the gift of babysitting (so folks can make some time). Most importantly, shop local and seek something that's better than expected. While we're at it: How about a fistfight over chablis at the Broadmoor? How about Subie politics and 4Runner douchebaggery on the Front Range? Who isn't two degrees from a Cutlass? …And why do all the racoons have knives?

Yeah, yeah, it's been too long. …Usual Christmastime to-do list is kicking everyone's ass. Thankfully, Caleb from EAS in the 'Springs kicked Hostus Maximus Justin and Gearhead Celebutant Mark's collective asses back into the studio (over sips at Bristol Brewery), because the Garage Hour is too much candy not to have some. Gearhead location experimentation ensued, fueled by Axe & Oak's Pike's Peak Hillclimb whiskey, 9mm and .22 Magnum, visits from Charlie (who actually commanded an Abrams tank), plus movies Caleb's got to watch (or he'll die). What's more to like: the F1 parade and ear-plugging weenies, tank movies, Saturday night coolers and van parties, a Glock 43 and an S&W with a billion rounds in the mag, plus Frank Rizzo, Saul Rosenberg and the Egyptian Magician.

Okay, busy boy does gearhead goodness: good pipes on slushbox BR-Zs (awww), Volvo households and 244s (turbo!), car racism and Tiptronic, automatic trannies for off-road effect, avoiding Chinese tires, new-car reality versus the electric car market and the "Cold Snap Sprint" (home), the 80-40 ice fog freakout, REI (bad) versus four-wheeling (good), and the big Louisiana fog crash (holy shed). More: discretion versus valor (pull off and have a burrito), pilots versus shrooms (and 83 counts of attempted murder for Captain Stupid), UFC refuses to learn from Bud Light's fail, and a big Garage Hour R.I.P. to excellent weirdos Richard Mull ("Bull" from Night Court) and Matthew Perry from Friends (don't do drugs then hit the hot tub). …Sounds from Peter Gunn, Vibravoid, God Lives Underwater, and thoughts about sounds from Iron Maiden.

Somuchworktodo…. Sorry about the untimely uploads, but the Gearhead Consultancy's plate doth overfloweth. Now, about some good talk: What happens when a thunderstorm bombs the garage, and what's the deal when your meat has been froen instead of hitting the 'fridge fresh? 4Runner trans mounts (and squishy torque specs), stupid Jeepers winning stupid prizes (or horse-tranqed beggars - hey, it's not MY wedding), secret Pioneer head units, JKs with V8s, electric Jeeps with rebates, new cars suffering a case of the old elbows, stolen design cues, and tie-downs and ratchet straps (because if it's on the side of the road, it's not on your load). Also, Home Depot versus Harbor Freight, half-digested Citroens, Zach's elk summer sausage, and Electric Wizard, Living Color, Propellerheads and Electronic Excursions in High-Fi.
