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

06.26.26 (MP3): When DO Animals Attack the Garage Hour? More Hype but Same Man-Eating... Bullets for Bears, Wandering Wolves & Bad Bureaucrats, Fighting & Fleeing for Humans (Even the Dumb Ones), + Citizen Vigilante, Stereo Connectivity & Electric Wizard
Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns
Here's the top line (up front, for once...): bears and wolves and meese and bees and pigs and all sorts of wildlife attack humans - you're on their menu. If you're prepared - right caliber, correct mindset, and knowing we're superior because of our brains and our tools (not our claws or our ability to rip a Honda apart with our teeth), you'll be fine. However, so many people are wandering into the woods without a whiff of sense or any serious prep, and they're gonna get et. Don't be an idiot (or a fool) and revel in the opportunity to survive in style. Probablmaybe....

info_outlineOut of order awesomeness... Which luxury and/or exotic cars are preferred by crooks and food-stamp fraudsters (by brand - Ferarris and Lambos and Porsches, oh my) - and what your car behavior says about you (publicly, on gov't docs, you fool), why trusting Door Dash randos to not film you passed out through a closed door and then go full tick-tocking victim-voyeur is probably a bridge too far (invite the worst and you'll get it) and why there's an entire generation that deserves the Ray Liotta prison-island treatment, and the sad death of a (and some fun history about) the first-generation Toyota Rav4. There's also a warning from the Gearhead Consultancy: when you're having fun at less-sanctioned small-scale car-guy gatherings like a bit of crawling, an illegal street race or a monster truck event in Colombia, keeping your head on a swivel is not optional - what keeps you safe is YOU.
All that, plus project pouncing (let the geek ride!), Led Zeppelin, battle-driving and coyotes in Chi-town, Bigfoot and friends (El Squatcho and attack avocados - real or just underdiscovered?), and wearing pants for the neighbors.
