11.22.24: 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.

Previous Episode
12.22.24 (MP3): Pre-XMas Think-Piece, w/ Tesla TPMS Recall (or Skillset Fail?), Street Takeover Fight VS Flight, USPS Electric Truck Choke, Murder Hornet VS Desert Helicopter Wasp, & an Excellent Weirdo R.I.P. for Jean Lindamood/Jennings
Well, it's that time of year - time for the Garage Hour to cram the episode full of silly holiday fun and outros. How about some good gearhead up-to-stuffs while we're at it? Tesla is facing another recall, but this one's full of shed. Street-takeovers are violent, stupid, dangerous affairs, which we'd usually encourage so long as they are away from people, but crowds tend to get stupid in the worst places. The postal service's electric trucks still suck. Automotive journalist of great repute (and high-Q oddball) Jean Lindamood/Jennings gets a classic Garage Hour excellent-weirdo sendoff. Also, Upslope Brewery's Draft Lager joined in for sips and grins.
While we're at it, there's some fun thoughts about Christmas movies and family time (because it matters), the so-called government eradication of the Chinese murder hornet (and what could happen if they joined up with the desert helicopter wasp), Dennis Farina, Ray Liotta, and a set of chintzy Chinese (is that redundant?) foot warmers that cooked some ice-fisherman's toes.
