S12 Ep 2606.22.22 (MP3): News for Gearheads - Ford VS Its Customers (Testing on Buyers & Recalling the Fails), Governor VS Business (Caterpillar Bails on Gov. Pretzyl), Local Police Defending Law & Order Like a Boss, + Helmet, Garbage, Magnet, Duran, Mondo & Karma
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 here). Seriously, cats and kitties, let's back the blue. While we're at it: Ford trannies versus the neighbor's dog, pinko electric van plan fails (so much cronyism), with a special appearance from the Sinister drop-inner, and ice on a volcano.

S12 Ep 2506.16.22 (MP3): Litter Is Still Bad (Give a Hoot & Don't Be A Jerk); Garage Hour Chats w/ Focus on the Forest About Cleaning Your Camp & Getting Your Garbage, w/ Who Picks Up the Best, the Sawzall Solution, The Compactor Experiment, & How To Help
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 the stories: 610 tires, 150 'fridges, 100 mattresses, 15 trailers, 2 pianos and a jacuzzi - and that's just the things (not counting more than 200 tons of stuff). Shawn and Eve told us secrets, too: who's best at keeping clean (off-roaders) and who's the worst, who's a big help (locals donors and Teller County Waste), plus how this can all be done ONE BAG AT A TIME.

S12 Ep 2406.04.22 (MP3): Pre Pike's Peak Hillclimb Primer - Drivers, Racecars, Track & Turns @ #100, Tarmac & Dirt, Car Control & Skill-Sets, + Darwin's Off-Ramp (Because Seattle), Bicycles in Germany (Because Trance-Hop) & Han Shot First (Because Greedo)
Backwards or forwards, it's still racecar! Uphillclimbing at its finest is once again uponst us with the return of the Pike's Peak Hillclimb (PPIHC.com), one of America's oldest running races and still a killer to-do of go-fast goodness. We've got some of the drivers - Crouch, Millen, Vasholtz, Novembre, Shute, Shrantz, Donner and Dallenbach - and a few of the cars - 911, Bronco, Mustang, Camaro, WRX, STi, Evo, stockers, LMPs, open and closed-wheel, Cudas, Acura, Audi, Hellcat, Civic, and one guy in a Leaf. How about joining us? The Garage Hour might just be at George's Corner, and you should definitely be in the audience. More? ...Some excellent car crashes caught on tape in Seattle - because incompetence ain't just a river in Egypt.

S12 Ep 2305.30.22 (MP3): Doing Memorial Day the Right Way (and Why), w/ Some Gearheaded Distractions: the Return of the Sub-$G Commuter (and How), Russians VS Space Stations (& Tesla Guy's Space Taxi), Israel VS Everyone (Lasers!), + Sesame Street VS The Muppets
...Because there's still squads of peoplelike objects shambling the streets who think Memorial Day is National Uncover the Pool Day or Barbecue Day, the Gearhead Consultancy is here to unconfuse you about this solemn day. From rules for your flag to the right time for the moment of silence (yuuuuuup), we're here to help with how y'all are going to honor those who signed on the dotted line but never came back, and why the price they paid allows you to spend the weekend Tooting on Myface. ...And because you might like some relief from all that heaviness: there's Faith No More, Tomahawk, hounds with bees in their mouths , why "2001: Space Odyssey" makes us think too much, and making hay with the hundred-dollar commuter (don't overown it).

S12 Ep 2205.20.22 (MP3): Four-Wheelin' Preparedness - Junk for Your Trunk So Your Truck Won't Get Stuck, w/ Racks, Jacks, Tools & Straps, Truck Guns, Garage Dogs, $600 Commuters, +Kyuss, PPIHC, Trinity's Hype & Horkey, Dead Guy, Banquet Beer & Being Nice to Trees
Go get lost - in the mountains, on some trails, in the canyons, in the woods, in some history. The Garage Hour goons (with 'froading fool Fred and his Walkin' Dude) are here to help with a few thoughts about being equipped for on-trail out-thereism, with ideas on straps to use (and to avoid), where you can get heavy-duty gear for a light-wallet price, and some other need-tos for your rig so the next gotta-go doesn't turn into a never-got-there. Specifics include air, hi and bottle-jacks, "Insomnia" in Alaska (with Pacino and Williams), and a junkyard dog that might be part Velcro. While we're at it, there's rock (Kyuss), hillclimbing (PPIHC's 100th), sub-$G commuter wonderment, truck guns, and the dumb stuff people do in the woods (that a guy with a truck usually cleans up).

S12 Ep 2105.11.22 (MP3): Driving Like a Predator, Idling-for-15-Minutes Guy, Auto-Drive Robot Death Going to Court, Spying Video Cameras, India Backhanding Tesla (Because China), + Desalination (It's Smart) & S-Metal (It's for More Heavy)
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). Meanwhile, does cognitive dissonance cause cancer? ...Because it causes a lot of other sheddy stuff, like bureaucratic dehydration (No desal for you!). Smetal: Slayer, Sleep, Slot, Snail, Solarized, Soundgarden, Stabbing Westward, Steril, Stick, Sugar Ray and 16-Volt.

S12 Ep 2005.07.22 (MP3): Road Manners for the Regulators (Featuring Officer Uptosomething) - Gas Prices VS Boost, Texas VS Iowa Drivers, Barn Finds, Good Cooling (Hose Clamps, Zip-Ties & Duct Tape, Oh My!), & A Tale of Two Fat Ladies @ the Bettendorf Merge
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 tried to drive it into the ditch on the 80 (so much better than the 88). There's more: the difference between dashboard data and dial-up distractions (it's all bad), where have all the audio jacks gone (?), and being saved by the rear-view (got to live in your mirrors when you're piling on the MPHs).

S12 Ep 1905.03.22 (MP3): Chicagoland Border Hell Spring Garagefest! Used Jeeps, 4Runners, Porsches & Dogs, Shopping for Deals in a Crashing (Car) Economy w/ Price VS Panic, Opportunists VS Offers, Asking VS Selling, + Auto Shop, Nolectric 'Froading & 17" of Rain
Holy freakin' sequel, Batman - the Garage Hour goons gathered up the Chi-town hustlers for another armpit-adjacent gearhead free-for-all, and spicy meatballs happened. What's it? Cutting cars in half in auto shop, why electric Jeeps still aren't going to four-wheel (but the Gladiator is semi-driveable), interior colors (Whorehouse Red, anyone?), buying neighbors' forgotten treasures, and a dynamite analysis of where the used-car market is, where it's going, and what cars we're watching to make the math. But wait: Trinity's Kolsch, Bell's IPA, and Toppling's Pseudo Sue, pit bulls and their tails, mall-crawling versus flexing Starbucks (Jeepers), and wading the Dupage River.

S12 Ep 1804.24.22 (MP3): Off-Road Adventure Goes Full-Cluster! Four-Wheel Drifting Curveballs w/ Old Hoses & Coolant Clouds, Wind, Fire, Snow, & Sheep (+ Trout, Dirt, Trails & Tents) + 10th Man Analysis, Dude Food Creek Cooling, & Fish on a Stick
...And sometimes, the cluster is half the adventure (or most of it, in this case). While doing a banzai run to a "meet here" out-there getogether with some 'froading buddies (who we met at the now-defunct FJ Summit), the Gearhead Consultancy wound up doing a test of tent tie-downs and fireproofing, duct tape and rental-cabin supplies, plus hose clamps, zip-ties and Lee Van Cleef. More thoughts for you: Texas VS Taos? Flat-four VS small-block? Tramp VS Glamp? Ex-parte VS exfil? Also, Frampton VS Rogan, Tom Waits, and Dave Mustaine's throat.

S12 Ep 1704.22.22 (MP3): Road-Run to 4Runners - Colorado Cars, Truculent Traffuckery, Freeway Logic (Faster Roads in SoCal & the Front Range), Excessive Roof-Rackism, the Return of Traffic Elitists, + Breckenridge Brewery, the Beer Fort & a Kia Forte
Wellll... It should be no surprise that wading waist-deep into mid-day traffic for a Colorado hot lap might plunge the Garage Hour into some of the usual left-lane snobs, inattentive Audis, sloppy Subarus, tuned-out tail-gaters and just a few intrepid truckers. This is a classic on-the-road snapshot, including a parachute job by The Craig, an old friend of the show and used-car expert. While we're at it, how about analysis of a very beat third-gen 4Runner (probably not worth $5000), and a little more of what you like best: Hostus Maxiums Justin Fort yelling at lousy motorists.

S12 Ep 1604.04.22 (MP3): NASCAR Fights & Airport Robots, Texan Troopers VS Mexican Semis, Electric Car Brownouts, Ethanol Gas Fails, Municipal Attacks on Constitutional Rights, + the Terrible & Fiery Death of Many Nails, Drill Bits & 2x4s
Even the fist-fights between millenial race-car drivers suck - what we'd give for the good old days when Cale Yarborough beat up the whole Allison family, or Boris Said "teaching 'em a lesson..." Whatevs - the Garage Hour will keep reminding you what good looks like. Then we'll tell you about Texas reminding Mexican truckers who's in charge, and why amoral and compassionless robots ain't here to help (and will probably hurt). Then again, it could be worse - just move to Denver, where they want to disarm law-abiding citizens, or Kalifornistan, where they don't make enough electricity to top off the ego in your electric status-symbol.

S12 Ep 1504.02.22 (MP3): Dark:30 Gearhead Brain - Slashing Tires & Burning Cars Doesn't Make Your Point, Jumping Teslas Ain't Brainful, Chernobyl Is No Sandbox, Missing Chips Isn't Just a Parts Problem, Horse Fear of Fat Folks, + 3D RPGs & Blue Wonder Power Milk
When you've got too much to do but no daylight to do it, be the night owl. With syrupy tracks and big thoughts, Hostus Maximus Justin Fort pours on the goodness: why Ukraine's war hurts your auto parts (neon!), how mental environmentalists' tire-slashing campaigns aren't making them friends, how paying the people who burned down your car exposes municipalities' complicity in bad ideas, and what the Hell is wrong with Nissan owners. It's not just the big stuff: someone in Ukraine is 3-D printing RPG launchers, and why horses worldwide are concerned about high gas prices too.

S12 Ep 1403.27.22 (MP3): Traffic Cameras Hate Your Safety & More Illogical Attacks on Gearheads, w/ People Who Hate Trains (Who Hates Trains?), Electric-Car Fires, Gas-Price Fails & Race Car Frauds, + Sounds of Clutch (the Band) & Being Nice to Your Dog (Dammit)
Don't let the small-thinkery of those who'd walk into traffic because their phone was more interesting than their wellbeing steer your geek-brain wrong. We've got the Motts on traffic cameras (and why they're dangerous, ineffective and unConstitutional, no matter which city is saying otherwise), NASCAR's attempts to crap on their fans (electric race cars?), Tesla's attempts to burn your house down, woke fools' attempts to call steam engines racist, and how Alabama just might have given Mr. LGB his plates back. While we're at it, how about some killer southern-fried rock? ...'Cause we've got "Clutch"; and your dog. Be nice to your dog.

S12 Ep 1303.17.22 (MP3): Night of the Living Day Drinking @ Trinity w/ Tube-Frame Pintos & Rodeck V8s, Beer Canning & German Interrupting, Taco Pizza VS Pizza Taco, Tales from the Studio, + Barns, Belly Rigs & Broken Tables (Fuggedaboutit!)
Yikes. This one was all over the place from the word "Welcome" - Dude Food (w/ bacon, beef and horseradish sauce), Javelins and Call of Duty, breaking in your belly holster (and standards for performance), KCBQ's gleaming black towers of broadcast superiority, getting lost in Boston, and inserting Regular Bill into Poland's Ukraine. We've also got a look at Trinity's Farmhouse Ale (almost a red) and their famous Mexican lager, FNG Brett's music ("Finding Chase"), Maker's Mark under the table, and the undying question of when a pizza taco is a taco pizza.

S12 Ep 1203.13.22 (MP3): Driveshaft Diagnostic & Late-Night Deepthink - U-Joints & Yokes VS Bearings & Half-Shafts, Rebuilt VS Replaced, Staked & Clipped & Welded & Clocked, + Anarchy VS Enthusism, Avocados VS Coconuts, Toothbrushing, Jokers & New Sips
If you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly - the Garage Hour gearheads got their groove on for an hour of issues with new and used driveshafts. Troubleshooting, driving diagnosis, balancing and building, parts and tools, Cardins, needle-bearings, donuts, SVO and magazine parts, washers, yokes, paint markers and bearing cups. We're not done: there's Dr. Tooth, Animal, Megadeth, Ninjatune, gumlines, drivelines, late-night hammering, and fixing your woketard neighbor (take "Blazing Saddles" and "Cannonball Run" and don't call us in the morning).

S12 Ep 1103.10.22 (MP3): Defending the Second Amendment (Like a Boss) - Constitutional Carry, "Not About Hunting", FJB VS Gun Owners, Hiding Rules in Swampy Laws, & Safe-Room VS Prison?, + Tesla's China Problem, Electric's Conceit Problem, AMMO Inc & NASCAR Owners
The 2A is going to need to land a few punches - let's help by asserting our individual rights and freedoms and standing up for Indiana (constitutional carry, mostly for the better). Meanwhile, the LGB White House's creepy crawlies are trying to grab millions of gun-purchase records they're legally prohibited from touching, and you can't blame a hammer for hitting nails (because a good bullet is a good bullet, even if the user isn't). Also: Dead Guy Ale, Them Crooked Vultures, Garbage, Goatsnake, the Hyundai El Camino, and the Garage Hour's "Dig Two Holes in England and One Will Have a Corpse in It" rule redux.

S12 Ep 1003.05.22 (MP3): Gas Price Stupidity & Electric Idiocy, Why Old Names Ain't New Cars, Automaker Badge-Engineering Fails & Reputation Degredation, Axle Assemblies & Bearings, Calibers for Ukraine, More Felon Foolishness In Chi-Town, + Bye Bye Antonov 225
Don't let the progressives regress your success: it's a brand new Garage Hour, complete with 16-Volt, Sepultura and Metallica, plus why your new Maverick, Mustang and Blazer still ain't an El Camino, plus the upside of a Samurai still being a Jimny (ladder-frame, bitches!). Because cars have trannies, not are. While we're at it, we've got some gearhead reasoning for you: electrocardiograms for high-school sports, lessons in the Second Amendment for the tyrants at CNN, and Ammo Inc's provisioning of Ukraine's fighters (because bullets!).

S12 Ep 1003.05.22: Gas Price Stupidity & Electric Idiocy, Why Old Names Ain't New Cars, Automaker Badge-Engineering Fails & Reputation Degredation, Axle Assemblies & Bearings, Calibers for Ukraine, More Felon Foolishness In Chi-Town, + Bye Bye Antonov 225
Don't let the progressives regress your success: it's a brand new Garage Hour, complete with 16-Volt, Sepultura and Metallica, plus why your new Maverick, Mustang and Blazer still ain't an El Camino, plus the upside of a Samurai still being a Jimny (ladder-frame, bitches!).

S12 Ep 902.22.22 (MP3): Formula 1 & Tesla VS Re-Soviet Russia? How About USPS VS Electric Cars (& Big Gov't)? Also, Narcissm Sticks & Loud Phone Talkers, Leftover 2x4s, Being Nice to the Police (Because Patrol Car), + Megadeth, Massive Attack & Man Or Astro-Man
Now that's a spicy meatball - more strange things afoot at Circle K... Why are business leaders leading in defending Ukraine (including F1 and Elon "Pyramid Scheme Vampire" Musk) when national "leaders" flop? Also, enjoy a drive-by psychoanalysis of Generation Fail and their self-absorbed loud nothingness, Canada's midget dictator Justin "Bring My Stool" Rivera's shortness (he's not at all cool with it), and whether college degrees are causative or correllative for mental issues. Because gearhead. While you're into it, how about Dave Mustaine, the C-130 Specter, criminals getting run over by the law, and how USPS just flexed Joke Brandon out of his electric car fraudulence.

Gettin' lost in great garages (or on the way to garages in the backwoods of Colorado Springs), the Garage Hour shunpikers do a drunken deep-dive from the Walkin' Dude's Toyota and Ford-infested wrenching studio. Building Subies, building Glocks, wood-panelling wagons, planning the JF Summit and tripping over 1UZs - it's in there. While we're at it: Dan's demand that SoCal folks stay there, Justin's gesticulation about the need to get your money out of the NRA until it's de-Wayned, and your host's catlike reflexes and editing skills.

What's in there... Pothole season and the billions spend by taxpayers to mitigate the billions spent by big-city leadership... Avocados are next to godliness (tell us why)... Tomcats don't take no shed but apparently German Shepherds do... ..And let's not beat around the bush: robot dogs are creepy and inhuman, but Big Gov't would love to use them to treat illegals even worse. Yes, there's more: everything from crackin' rock on the Bizarro #1 Mix, to natural remedies to the damage being caused by the nasty ingredients in certain made-in-China viruses and made-in-secret vaccines.

There's always more: saltwater, honey and shoelaces, a little gearhead doctorin' for fun and painful stingers, with a special appearance by Rooster Cogburn.

Junk in the trunk: 16-Volt, KMFDM, Los Straitjackets, the Sword, I Mother Earth, Orbital, Chrystal Method, Jesus Lizard, AC/DC, Spahn Ranch and Testament.

Got'ta wear shorts - why not in the middle of winter? Hostus Maximus Justin Fort is pursued by Jason and Peyton from Trinity and "Regular" Bill into Location "B" for broken Dodges, tube amps, reconned speakers, buying more ammo (pop some pork), and DUI cash cows.
