11.22.24 (MP3): Why Not Wrenching While Drinking? Bourbon & Brakes & Reversed Correctness, the Vulcan Mechanics Trick (If Hours Were Days...), Pickup Sound & Fury w/ Dodge 5.9 RTs & Blown (Up) Lightnings, Tin-Foil Bumpers, & Pre-Crashing In the Snow
12/30/24 • 58 min
If you want to celebrate your mechanical success before you've succeeded, don't expect much success - Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and Ryan the BMWery Guy test their livers with a debate of all the excellent mistakes they've made when the sips start before the work stops. From the Perrin charge tube that's supposed to take a half-hour to install, not a half-week, to the little things we miss like which way the brake pads go (and what sort of sparks they throw), there's a way to do it and a way you shouldn't (and we've tried both).
Not to get too far afield, there's more gearhead goodness to be had: thinking out tube bumpers, sliding your truck into a snow drift before you crash into it, loud and noisy thug trucks, SVT's good old days, verbicide, Mitsubishi Outlanders, vintage Garage Hour cohosts, plus tasting Bushmills and Breckenridge whiskeys, Peach Crown Royal, Absolut Vodka and High Country Lager. There's also a host of tunes from Karma to Burn, 16 Volt and Deadbolt.

12.31.24: Gearheads Survive a Year of Fear & Big Gov't Shows Its Butt, w/ Unsafe Spy Tech In Your Cars, Useless Powertrains In Your Trucks, Evil Capabilities In Your Home, & Dangerous Ideas In Gov't (...the Ides of Cronyist Bureaucrats)
Take a cautionary stance as gearheads, geeks and the great unwashed makers look forward to 2025 - it's our year to make great, but some of that tin needs straightening. From the evil of your refrigerator conspiring with the dishwasher to convince the thermostat to drop the house to 42o, to the sloppy software from fool programmers on the wrong side of the wall allowing your data to be hacked by your car before you even get out of the driveway, it's time to get paranoid and understand that bad governance won't fix itself. We've never seen so much of the tail of hidden corruption than we can now, so take a running start.
It's in there: Sagan's theory on why tech without morality can end worlds (where's the stop sign?), why bad governors in sad states will still push failed technology (because it benefits them), and how the companies you shop need to be held to your standard (because Costco won't fix itself).
