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

Is Bubba Wallace the new Danica Patrick? Way to ruin what little credibility you had left, schmuck. We prefer Jim Brown - R.I.P., big guy. We also prefer Richard Jewell (speaking of R.I.P.), whom this episode somehow commingles with the Unabomber (who will probably not be resting peacefully, if you catch our drift). Then it's all experts and flying SFPD patrol cars and NYC suing carmakers who don't make cars that can survive the city's criminals, plus not blowing people up.

Don't worry, there's more, like a complete "16 Volt" background track, journalists behaving badly, "Escape from New York", "Invasion USA", Kurt Russell, Chuck Norris, Lee Van Cleef, Mac 10s, and more corruption in Quid Pro Joe's basement.

Geeks don't want politicians to take away their freedom to roam, nor ruin their gearhead life (geek powa!), and the skill-set guys (aka: geeks) won't let snap-lift oversteer derail an otherwise enjoyable 120mph joyride in the 3-Series daddy just bought 'em. Meanwhile, back at the garadtch, we dipped our toes in a collection of indestructibility for your driveway (this topic will return - the schwartz says so), as well as vacuum wiring, "initial" build quality, tranny fluid, Floriditis, and technology is still not on our side.

It's not all ball bearings nowadays: independent beermakers like Appalachian Mountain go rogue, drones with artificial intelligence go rogue, carmakers' data-capture goes rogue, and Wyoming goes rogue to protect its taxpayers. Special appearances by Carl Sagan, Mission Creep, Orbital, Elmer Bernstein, Meat Beat Manifesto, Genesis and the NY Post...

That's a spicy meatball - everything from killer whales eating your rudder (still not sure of their MO) to godless commies dredging up sunken WW2 wrecks for scrap, this episode's got it. ...It's all gearhead, though - don't 'fraid dat. On top of the usual suspects, however, we've piled plumbing parts, protecting your peep, new steekers, old lamp oil, Curtis Sliwa and a Marine in New Yawk City, and the plum amber at Trinity.

Now, go out in the world and make something - we made some God Lives Underwater (come through your speakers), Shark Bite (fittings fix some pipes), new Garage Hour vinyl (stick to your jalopy), with honorable mentions for White Gladis and John Cleese.

When the gearheads get enthusiastic, the geeks get going: the new-car connectivity albatross and its threat to AM (as well as your seat heaters), why new cars and their general state of suck is making a mess of the used-car market, and some F!ed up fun from Kalifornistan, where the police can't chase you and the earth is swallowing up off-roaders. Then it's turbos, bugeye WRXs, EVCs, own-versus-rent and right-to-repair, and a breakdown of the better James Bonds (and why Remington Steele's/Pierce Brosnahanan's "November Man" could have been perfect).

More for you: DJ Contact (w/ DJ Cookie Dough), Amon Tobin (with a mashup), Air (#becauseweird), and Source Direct (#becausetractor). Also, Umberto from GRC, The Uhhs, jerkles and unicorn skulls.

Holy carp, if you ever may use a gun to protect your person, people or property, this is an episode for you. We dug into a great interview of a gent who came out on top during a parking lot throwdown with an armed criminal. Colion Noir did a good job and let the winner (hey, he's not dead) talk about it: the boon of practice (practice, practice...), the bane of tactical doodads, why round-limits will get you killed, big guns versus small, physical wellbeing and the right clothes, situational awareness, how you'll feel and what to do and say afterwards, and why you carry with a pew in the pipe (because "Carrying With a Round in the Chamber Saved My Life").

There's a lot more here, and every ounce is worth a shooter's time: smart meet-ups, lawyers for shut the f@€& up, don't be fat, plus Contagion, NIN, Deftones, Whorgasm, Chainsaws & Children, Alien Faktor and Steril.
