Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns
We're all doing it right now - eyeballing the spare boiler in the driveway that you may or may not need (probably not, if you're any sort of geek), wondering if there's some solid cash to be had if you just did a leeeeettle work. Well, the Gearhead Consultancy at the Garage Hour has done this before (a LOT), and we can help you get to done. What's a must-do and what can you explain away? Does the Check Engine Light mean buy a new sensor or buy a $20 code-reader? How do you move from attracting a shopper to making them a buyer? Are you ready to pounce when Mr....

Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns
Some serious stuff lands better with humor, so help yuck up some doom and gloom with the Garage Hour gearheads. We've got the potential peril of cars made in China (everything from unactuated robot cars and vampire technology to dangerously chintzy products and blatant trademark infringement) and the real-life lessons you and we can learn from the rinse-and-repeat episodes of Tiger Woods' DUIs (let the celeb make the mistake for you). From there, there's some thought development on a schism developing in the used car market (new and old - divergent, but why?), and a reminder that...

We've got everything in this one: why lift your car when you could buy a truck; why the Concorde's awesomeness was so early we missed it; why Volkswagen is building missiles for Israel (mis-Israel?) (and why Ford, GM, AM General and 100 other good manufacturers did the same); why the FTC is eyeballing car sellers, why the cooling needs of AI and data centers will make your brain hurt (and drive their neighbors crazy); why more automakers are not making electric cars; and why so many car...

info_outlineFinally, something good comes of enabling: enable your garage to do more gearhead things (and stuff)! Just Mark, Just Caleb and Justin sit down amongst the Porsches at the new AutoVos (Caleb bought out EAS and went independent) for an hour of making garages better. Stop polishing the door handles and think bigger: (tasteful) additions of more floor and door, coating and levelling those floors, getting more work underway with ramps and stools, expanding the tools available with better boxes, plus seasonal enhancement with heating and drainage, and while we’re thinking big, how about building up with a second story and a bridge to the house?
There’s so much more: a semi drag races a Rav4, Ruger makes a nice .22, the Dutchese sell a pricey Stryker, Great Divide, Big Sky, Cerviceria and Trinity brew fine beers, catwalks make a handy way to repel the hipster hordes, plus Man or Astroman, Galactic, Pantera, Dead Milkmen, Fugazi, Truckfighters and Five Horse Johnson.
