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

A little bit of everything in this one... US taxpayers get screwed by big gov't contractors (as well as the supremacy of the B-1B, F-35 and F-22), turbocharger fixes for Subaru Legacy Outbacks and the EJ-255 (JB Weld!), how two-fisted royal Prince Phillip created his own hearse with a custom Land Rover pickup, how green energy is destroying Germany one industry at a time, and the mess that is illegal-immigrant coyotes driving like crazy people to escape the border patrol and local law enforcement.

There's more fun stuff: peanut butter versus chocolate, wallet-sitting versus your income, and the schism between wanting a new (used) car and needing it.

One of those raining in the garadtch/lab in defilade/tech in freakout Garage Hour shows where an absolute pile of unthunk topics turn into really good gearhead radio. Go figure: everything from the press-release media's attempts to paper over low repeat-purchase numbers for hybrids and electrics to great old parts boxes and what we find inside (inluding crashy bits from an otherwise great canyon run). There's also kudos for the Japanese (that seems to be a theme lately) and a big raspberry for GM's plans to move another factory south of the border.

There's also a few little kitties on the run route (plus bears, elk and a bobcat), the finalé for the $500 commuter, plans for wintermobile # next, and our effort to get another Blue mic now that we found this Yeti.

The Garage Hour's got gearhead news (because people seem to like it), so hereyago:

- DC carkackings, lousy "expert" drivers, Ryan Hampton on lousy journalist drivers, and police who shouldn't be street racing (because they're not very good).

- More new-car suspension parts falling off, this time of Subies.

- Why dependence on global markets is a bad thing.

- More tales of why Tesla's Auto Creepy-Drive is a bad thing.

- Beer with Full Sail's Session Lager.

Just to keep it awesome, we've also got Schroedinger's garbage can, Uber versus your phone, the Magnusson-Moss Warranty act, bricked electrics and fixing Sylvester Stallone with a hammer.

...Crammed it all into this one. Script writer: go script yourself. With a device-thwarting free-news cable-cobbling in-lab intro, this is classic Garage Hour goodness. Better hydrate. Fried cheese curds, cheating Chinese Teslas, F1 or circle-track, Bilstein 5100 and 6112 on under your 4Runner, de-Wayneing the NRA, U.S. bombers in India and John Ratcliffe's UFOs.

Even more: Body Armor? Drank it. Flopping tablets? Fixed 'em. Affirmative action for F1? Figures. '60s Chicaco P.D.? Need 'em. The greys? Found 'em.

From haversacks to FIPG, Boogerbutt and B-sides, booing Seinfeld and ewwing Yuengling, Justin #2's Tourette's and the curdish (cheese) apocalypse, UZIs and a .38 in the briefcase, plus donations to the Cajun Navy and situational awareness, it's an alchivated Garage Hour (now, with beer!).

This episode was originally oriented towards fine sips at Trinity Brewing and some discussion of good tactics for buying and selling things online and/or in the flesh, but you know detours... Admit it, you prefer them. #BecauseGearhead.
