03.23.26 (MP3): Because Racecar! Garage Hour Does Race Prep w/ Jim & Jimmy Ford, + Belts, Welds, & Never Accepting Second, 9000RPM, 6-Inch Exhaust, Yuge Generators, 1st-Gear Turns & Slap Stick Sequentials (Technology Is Finally Good For Something)

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

Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and regular liveregulator Ryan the BMW Guy were roaming backwoods 'Springs and happened upon the compound of PPIHC Open Class contenders Jim and Jimmy Ford. These guys are so serious about homebuilt, homedriven all-comers competition in the most famous hillclimb in the world they didn't even waste time on new names. ...And lurking in the the Ford Garage Bar is one very evolved, poked and stroked Roush-Yates Windsor-powered Trans-Am TA-1 car (and all the stories that power it). ...This episode was so good we had to skip a few. (Don't worry, they're comin' up next.) ...

03.03.26 (MP3): Tactical Recall Robot Trolley Truck Mushbrain Motorist Madness... Ford, Porsche, BMW, Tesla, Subie, & a Sinkhole, a Satellite & a Starter (On Fire), + Shooting Classes, Spaceships, Samurai Cat & So Much NIN

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

Ever look up and wonder what you're looking at? Well, this time it's the Garage Hour. We're too busy to pull a Strangelove, however - there's a space station (international), a satellite (train or track), and a semi that got punted into orbit by Ktulu's little brother, Bl'Slyu. Pile them in with a mess of auto manufacturer recalls from the likes of Ford, Porsche, Tesla and BMW (just in case your driveshaft is separating, your cameras are shorting, or your fuel pump ain't), a few robot semis (those that escaped Bl'Slyu's wrath), an out-of-control tram (a trolley, but for fancy people), the...

07.17.25 (MP3): Trucker Builds a NYC, Monster Truck Breaks a Wheel, Ads Boondoggle a Message, Parking Garages Blow Their Stack, Bureaucrats Bulldoze Your Parking, + Good Tunes from Bebop, Elder & Plante

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

Old stuff! Told'ja there were leftovers from 2025 lying around in the Garagosphere... This gem from July was special because we got about 10 years of hate off the collective gearhead chest about bad P.S.A. ads that make you wish any car guy had been a part of any of the production. On the plus side, now we know what to look out for (patronizing betaboys and their bullygirl narrators). There's better bits to be had, like a trucker from New York City (see, there's still good things there) who built a 1500 sq-ft balsa replica of the city (because why not, or perhaps...

02.26.26 (MP3): Random Geek Stuff - Bury the Neighbor's Car for Snow-Day Barking Revenge (da Dogapult Was Snowed In), CA Buys Gas @ Bahamas? (But Its Freeways Kill the Most), Psychic Car Parts Predictions, Researcher Havana Syndromes Himself, + Red Fang

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

When life gives you all sorts of junk and a few cups of coffee, you get a smoothie episode (ie: it's in there)... It was kicked into gear when we watched a dude in Queens bury his neighbor's car during the last snowstorm because their dog won't shut up. Seems reasonable. ...Maybe they parked too close to his driveway as well. Neighbors. Be considerate and bury the car they use less. There's a report on alien technology: an app that warns us about glass-holes and their Fakebook spy glasses, concerns that our constant car shopping has gone mental(ist), and a...

02.16.26 (MP3): Fog Wrecks & Shipwrecks, Hypermiling & the Stupid Stoplight Button, CO2 is Good for You, Recalls for Quiet Electrics, How Not to Get Arrested by the Police, & Texas VS Evil Chinese Mystery Seeds, + More History (Schmistory)

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

Order, schmorder - this much gearhead goodness doesn't need "order" (especially when an episode at the junkyard had to hit beforehand)... This episode is in good Garage Hour form: reporting from the industry (the stupid stoplight shutoff feature that nobody likes and does literally nothing beneficial is no longer necessary - kind'a like that belt buzzer from the '70s), musings on interesting/weird/underappreciated automotive trends (hypermiling, anyone?), warnings for idiots (about idiots?) about driving in the fog (because "smart" cars just make soyboys and bullygirls dumber), a couple...
