02.13.23 (MP3): Chunks of Gearhead Reality - Smart Truck Wiring VS Extracurricular Components, London VS Leftover Bombs, Snow-‘Froading, Catalytic Stealin’, AI Vomitin’, Lightning Failin’, Kyle Busch’s Handgun Elitin’, + Eddyline & Saturnine
This is a test (new uploading technique), but it’s also gearhead goodness - all the stuff you like. Safe shopping for online scores? Walkin’ Dude flash-fries a water buffalo? Wiring and transpirins’ (do all wires matter)? Do you flash the guy who doesn’t belong in the #1 lane? If you dig a hole in England, is there a bomb or a skeleton in it? ...And what’s more important, your right to privacy or a drone’s right to see what you’re up to? There’s more: the impending unsold army of Ford’s nonsensical new Lightning pickups, AI making it up as it goes along, and Vibravoid, Satriani and smushy catalytic-convertor thief deaths (and the Weinermobile). |
