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

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 damage with tanks. - New rovers on Mars (awesome) and old tricks in space (repo man's coming for your satellite!). - A VERY upsetting tale of a small brewery in Kalifornistan beset by tiny tyrants and wrongheaded bureaucrats. There's more exploding, too - thermometers, projects, and political attacks on your hobbies. Fortunately, there's also Trinity Brewing's Dark Cherry Radler, Josh Homme and QOTSA, KYUSS and Vultures, plus "Season in the Abyss" and another terrible move/great soundtrack (Orbital/Kirk Hammet).

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 Kolsch & Idaho 7 Pale. Cohosts in this episode include Dr. Hibbert, fire, a foot-thick sheet of ice, the BFH (the "F" is for "friendly"), Seattle weather, sheddy sheds and Johnny Cash.

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 needs to protect themselves more?). - Why most restrictions on firearms rights are racist, sexist, elitist and statist (just ask the NRA). - The state of Washington and DC both triumph over gun-grabbers (or, Tiny Jerk Laws + Loopholes & Lobbyists). When the bureaucrats line up to give you their best Body Snatchers impression, you know you're on the right (constitutional) side. Be a brick in the wall with the Garage Hour, with Americans like AWR Hawkins, Burgess Owens, Lauren Bobert and Herschel Walker.

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 crazy crap about magazine drills. There's also a crapton of good music - QOTSA, Anthrax, Helmet, Rammstein, Corrosion, Slot and the Desert Sessions. Now go organize your toolbox.

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 getting its ass handed to it by 30-year old planes. - Ford is worried that the NRA's bankrupsty will cost them 150-so cars. - The Chinese bat plague just killed Fry's. On top of stories about cars, trucks, beers and guns, we've got Thomas Edison, bikes and cars on Palomar, Lemmy & Limbaugh, and Trinity Brewing Company's DDH-45 on sip.

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. Gravy: Super Duty mirrors, Dennis Farina and Hunter S. Thompson, flakey trailer owners, plus why it's good to be afraid of Americans ('cause we're comin').

Why not? The Garage Hour goons usually focus on one topic (before veering off), but tonight, it's a weekly look at gearhead news. J.D. Power's reliability ratings (Lexus and Porsche at the top, Chrysler, Tesla, and Fix It Again Tony at the bottom), pompous nuisance Bruce Stiffstein elites his way out of a DUI, Tiger crashes into some woods. Meanwhile, Roush Racing puts coffee mugs in the kitchen and calls itself green, ethanol makes your dinner more expensive, and F1's new prez tries to eliminate the parade-effect that's killed what little is left of interest in the series. After that, we've got a Toyota guy from Texas who pulled out 145 stuck motorist in two days (Texans do everything big).

It was so damn cold we couldn't stay home. The Garage Hour goons gathered at Trinity for sips of Idaho 7 Pale, Soul Horkey and Slap Yer Mammy, then tried to keep warm over topics like how batteries behave in the cold (to discharge or drain?), trickle charging, block heating, garage heating, Denver versus puffy jackets, the great "drive north" plan and surfing girlfriends. #Becausegearhead, there was more - homemade ARs, "Firefox", mug fixin', India's affinity for US beer, and advice for newbs. ...And thankfully (for the listeners) the cohosts were stacked deep - "Regular" Bill was joined by Santa Ana winds, tumbleweeds, topiaries and a Pinto.

Whether you like longhorns in the backyard or hounds in the garage, the Garage Hour went down to Texas and gearhead radio happened. We filled airtime with music - so much blues and country - and stomachs with deer sausage and "The Weatherfordian" from Edgewise Eight Brewing. Jeeps, trailers, "Fight Club" and "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" also happened, then we screwed up a bunch of artists' names. Who'd we get? Pantera, Faith No More, Stone Foxes, Beau Weevils, Dead Weather, Chris Stapleton, Pixies, Band of Heathens, Clutch, Sabbath, Them Crooked Vultures, Jerry Reed, Primus, Robert Johnson, Charlie Daniels, Hank Jr., Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith. There.

Taxpayers beware. We're warning you - when ignorant bureaucrats and isolated executives start talking about how they're going to save you, it's time to revolt (hah! electric car pun...). There are lots of reasons why electric cars are still a fart on the wind. If you're a geek, consider a few: efficiency, power production, charging time, convenience, "0" emmisions, waste, capabilities, conditions, readiness, and parts and equipment - electrics fail across the board. You can't plan for a trip by shooting yourself in the foot. Remember, crony capitalism isn't bad capitalism, it's bad socialism. GM (and other electric-car makers) want to conspire with crooked politicians to use solar panels and windmills to shove the future right up your ass, and it's worse than you think.

More good stuff! The Garage Hour does another snowy night episode in this one, but we tromped out into the storm to Trinity Brewing for fine sips with Mr. Three-Letter Agency himself ("Regular" Bill) and FNC Spidertruck to have a beer melee (Space Force IPA, Garden of the Hops, Rasberry Kolsch, Sour Horkey, Stay Here from 2017, and Obnoxious Redhead (probably a beer)) and discuss fine shovelling (plastic versus aluminum, plus steel!). Don't worry: there's more than just a review of US military policy in the Pacific viavis the pinko peril posed by China. As promised, we've got a little ditty on whether your all-wheel drive Subaru will save you from inclement weather, and why the Subie solution isn't saving Denver from its bursting bubble.

When in Rome... The Garage Hour goons got stuck between an icicle and a snowball, and a show happened. How about the mechanics of hot-rod shovels (leading edge, baby!), bowling for rioters, upping the anty on three feet of snow with a 20-foot articulated loader, plus driving with Rhythm of Snow, Larry Hagman's chopper-chase movie and a lush kind'a lost for Thanksgiving? Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Gearhead Consultancy drove a truck up OBiden's nose for the stupid all-electric car plan for the US Gov't (because you can't fix socialism).

Because gearheads care (here to help!): we've got some logic on why buying products from countries that don't respect intellectul property or design integrity (ahem, China's a nice example) can lead to more than a crappy iPhone charge cord (ie: real risk to you). We're the Garage Hour, so our logic pivots from performance parts - when you need to depend on hard parts, what happens if they're soft? It's in there: the adventure of shopping for made-better, #getChinesegobroke, buycotting, fake quality, counterfeit branding, fradulent controls, intentional defect, disregard for life, and respecting the goods that have earned their reputation (knockoff handbag, anyone?).

You may think you drive well (be honest), but do you brake properly? So many brake problems - the Garage Hour has your answers (plus more questions): Heel or toe? Slotted or drilled? OE or aftermarket? Repair or modify? Good design or good practice? There's also bits from Baer, Brembo, Stop-Tech and Stillen... The gearhead goons have that, plus engineer-approved technique for protecting your brakes, stories from testing, and a little sideshow about taking care (bribery) of the grease monkeys who take care of you.

Candy-coated Garage Hour right here, starring Green Tip and Pepe/Frank/Derailment Monster at Freedom:30 - everything from old 870s to new bolt-carrier groups, including what coatings are the best and what parts can break (there's a good piece on this at ConcealedPatrior). ...Plus tons of good details on cerakoting from the pros. It's the dynamite insights on applying Cerakote that put the weight in this episode - prep, bake, temps and types, abrasion and lasangakote - it's in there. Also in there is the growing problem of voting green-tip fraud, plus parts from Strike Industries and Geissele.

"Is something wrong, or are you a Jeeper?" It's to the credit of the Garage Hour's fistfulls of gravity that we can sit down in a garage cold enough to hang meat with two rookie cohosts and still crush the episode... The Gearhead Consultancy gathered up Johnny the Brother and Eric the Jeeper to take an NOE run at engine swaps (and the explosions that create them), why Toyotas don't, Vise-Grips for fun and brake lines, plus binging on Golden Eye and Liquid Wrench . Additional stars of this show include grandpa's garage, canals, Jeep parts, Umberto's TV and the sandwich couch.

Hostus Maximus Justin Fort uncorks a killer road-trip examination of other drivers and what's wrong with them from the cab of his Powerstroked Super Duty. 100% note-free and completely unhinged, this episode is a genius pile of observations about better road trips, manipulating other drivers, mileage versus miles-per-hour, plus learning from the freeway. This episode of the Garage Hour is joined by excellent random cohosts, including a 7.3 diesel Supe and a psychic iPod, Passat Guy, Lexus Guy, Accord Guy, Duramax Guy, the Iowa State troopers and a hillside cemetary.

Why yes, we digress. It's in there (this time - we promise) with everything from a murderous feline to tow truck technique, plus seasons in Chicago, the 2020 Egg Nog GP, and Ken Andrews of the band Failure. While we're at it, there's actually a topic, too - detailing in the off-season because you care about how you look during the on-season. Winter is mean. Keep your rig clean even it it's not pretty, because little dings get big when you neglect them. Torn mats, harbored moisture, cracked clearcoats, destroyed fabrics - winter can make them all worse. You're a gearhead - do it right.

Don't ruin the giving season with gift cards and missed targets. You can pimp your geek-power by thinking up ideal presents for all the aspiring gearheads on your list (and elevate your satisfaction in the process). The Garage Hour goons lay out automotive tools you didn't know about, used tools needing using too, shopping at pawn shops, and tools that fill a need. There's more, too: consumable gifts (drinkable, shootable or chemical), buying in bulk (don't be a cheap screw), plus parts for guns, cars and houses, as well as books (= timeless technique).

Scratch that itch - what's that line from Dirty Harry? "I gots to know!" The Gearhead Consultancy is fueled by the geek brain, always connecting the dots, pulling the threads, and more often than not, poking da' bears. We got a truckload of itches scratched and laid out some questions about why the mask fear-pressure freakout ain't making sense at a nuts-and-bolts level. Don't box yourself in with conventional logic, because it's usually wrong. This is an experimental intellegental - spitballing the whosits and debating the whatnots about the Chinese bat plague.

If you don't take care of small repairs, they'll rot into big ones - it can be said about a million things, including ex-girlfriends and garbage disposals, but in this case, it's the easy stuff like brake pads, fuel filters, timing belts, tires, batteries and 100 other silly fixes that will bite you in the shiny metal ass if you don't deal with them pronto. So: don't be THAT guy, because SMBF. Joined on the episode by Tyrannosaurus Desk and Fancy Pen, Hostus Maximus delves deeply into this used-car spinoff topic, rummaging through the geek-food that comes from connecting the technical dots, one little fix at a time.

Wow. This is why we don't drink BEFORE the show - no script, bottle openers and too many secrets. ...Somehow a fun episode happened - rare form, this one. On-air sauce includes copious dude food, vintage rock, sunken ships and submarines, Dodge VS Ford, U.P.'s turbine locomotives and towing houses. It doesn't stop there - introducing Mr. Three-Letter Agency himself, "Regular" Bill, as well as Silent Lauren and Tyrannosaurus Desk, plus standardbearers Wrath of God, DDH45 and 11th-Anniversary nectar from Trinity Brewing.

Why ruin each day with two piece of shed drives from noisy kids to crappy boss and back - enjoy your commute instead. The Garage Hour goons have been molesting traffic since watching "Bullitt" in high school, and you can too. This episode has ideas on what to leave behind when you back out of the driveway, how to make every on-ramp an exercise of talent, and how to best time a close-fender fly-by of your boss's new Jag on the 15 South. While we're at it, this episode's got other goodies to keep you from being traffucked - opportunities to build skillset, tricks for making the multi-lane superslab slice-and-dice a pleasurable endeavor, and how to keep traffic carma in your pocket.

The Gearhead Consultancy would like to assist you in your efforts to find a good used car. More importantly, we're geeks and we're here to help, specifically help you make hay with a $500 pony. This isn't rocket-surgery, kids, it's a few rules like working from the cheapest to most expensive parts, knowing the platform's faults, and knowing when to fix and when to live with it. We'll walk you through a litany of easy fixes that looked like disasters (electrical gremlins - the dreaded power suck, bad brake lights, stupid switches and vaporized valve-cover gaskets). Things you can do yourself: ask a geek, lurk the forums (full of geeks), learn the "knowns" (become a geek).

It's here - beer radio with the Garage Hour goons. What beers? Hazy Doodle, Hype Forager, Pliny the Elder, TPS Report, Pale Pumpkin & Dark Tourist, and beer for space (cadets). What breweries? Pizza Port, Russian River, Metric & Red Leg, and obviously, Trinity. There's so much more, we're just going to pile it right here: Infinite hops, beers to (plus for and from) India, mystery water, timely harvests, sizely barrels, available bottles, home-brew go-tos, (not very) automated canning lines, receycled brewery parts, San Diego beach communities (tame!) and because #geekshelp.
