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.)

Thanking their sponsors with every breath they had, Jim and Jimmy (and Hero too) wanted to mention Hoosier, Shoup and Scooter's, Jesel, Newcomer, Iron Wolf, Driven and G-Force (plus everyone they didn't get to before we ran out of time).
Because gearheads are people too: this episode's got Coors, loving your belts (and your welds), flying stewardesses, Smokey Yunick, the 9/10th Camaro and the vinyl-top Challenger, getting the right shoes, and some Excellent Weirdo R.I.P.s for Ozzy Osbourne, Chef Jeff and Chuck Norris (the knife died before he did).

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 return of the Bodycount Conundrum, some sporty urban shooting and a few deranged urban robot cars, and it's definitely good gearheadness.

Just for sport (more of it): Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, Ray Liotta, bad drivers, bad kitties, excellent cops, tactical gun training, terrorists, sinkholes, cloud seeding and more pinko spying.

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 because X-Acto Knife), plus the selfsame city's plans to spend $2,000,000,000 to REMOVE 300K parking spots (because what, what?) while its parking garages do their best impression of a Denny's pancake breakfast. There's also the tale of unscheduled monster truck disassembly mid-show (and the cars the parts landed upon).

Back to the warnings: Raiders, Dredd, Snatch, Urban and Reeves, Animal House, Jenny in Japan, any PR ≠ good PR, '80s Fleppard, old Subaru Foresters, the soundtrack rule, foreign coverage of domestic stories, and the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack.
