09.19.22 (MP3): Diesel Dodge VS Damnable DMV, Truckers VS Teslas, Bosch Battery Boy VS Broadcast Boos, the Internet of Your Downfall (& Control in the Guise of Failure), + Fat Tony, Kaiser Soze & a Wreckful Childhood (...So Go Do Something Nice)
Do YOU know better than to put propane in your Tesla's tires? Do YOU know Teslas need special gas that doesn't come from the gas station? ...Then YOU might be smarter than the college laureates who could buy one but not own them. College... While we're at it: be nice to truckers (say it again, uh!), be wary of connecting your heater to your 'fridge to your A/C to your electricity (the internet of things or an appliance army marching towards your destruction?), and the story of a guy from New Jersey who was forced to crush his Cummins Dodge because it was for sale on Fakebook Marketface. Yuuuuuup. Don't say we didn't warn you (because we did, like, all the time ago). Also, Karma to Burn, John Lee Hooker, Big Head Todd, Naked Funk, QOTSA, Skynyrd and the Allmans. |

09.01.22 (MP3): Boats to Trains to Trucks to... Electrics? Who Wants Worse Transit? Efficiency VS Egos, Charging w/out Electrons (Looking at You, CA), Geeks Are Special (Nanoelectronics VS Headlights), & The Mileage Mirage - 7.3 'Stroke VS Nissan Minivan
The Garage Hour would like to present you this barnyard of proclivities as gathered by Hostus Maximus Justin Fort on a cross-country dash to Mom's... The transit quesiton: why do some folks think we should be regressing with electric cars and trucks? The power question: who's going to want a car they can't fill up (brownouts, anyone?)? ...And the control issue: what happens when there's so little power that the next neighborhood gets some but you don't? Also, have some good mileage. Special guests include Durant from "Darkman", the Godwin Rule and Murray Gelman Amnesia Hypothesis, Chris Farley, plus some leftist efites and degree snobs. |

08.28.22 (MP3): Speaker Repair, Porsche & Lexus & Subaru & Honda (Oh My), More on Motorcycle Mugging Gangs - In New York & Chicago! (Crime Ain't Complicated), & How the New Lightning is an Old Fail
Been slackin'! Garage Hour's got too much on its plate, and we're chewing like mad to get back to you - in as-soon-as-it's-fixed gearhead time. We've got some goodness for you here: more left-turn-on-green intersection violence (somebody's up to something) and a revisitation of Asimov's rules (technology's not on your side), speaker repair fun (geeks don't chuck it, they fix it), and how Ford's ruining decades of reputation by calling a failing electric pickup by a classic nameplate (hints of Mustang, anyone?). ...Then we liked this picture: There's also some bits - revisiting the Lexus LFA and fat Porsches, a guy eating chips while he Subies, Charles Bronson, plus the Rev (Heat), Masters of Reality, Megadeth, Puny Human, Whoregasm, Mindbomb and the Space Truckers. |
