08.14.25 (MP3): Carmakers Stealing Performance (from You), Right-To-Repair (for You), Camping World's FU, NPR Discovers Tractor Pulls (Duhh, You), Illegal Truckers Could Kill You, Filipinos Give China a Screw You, & Excellent Weirdo RIP to Terrence Stamp
Are you a maker or a taker? We've made nothing but the good stuff on this episode: automaker OEs forgetting who owns the cars they sold (you) and taking away the performance over the phone (and forgetting the rules of Right-To-Repair as outlined by champs like Steve Wozniak and the federal case against John Deere). Speaking of tractors, we've got a study of the big-head elitist media whackos at NPR who are either pretending they just discovered tractor pulling or they're actually that clueless. There's also the new measurement of horse-pounds (when HP and FT-LBs ain't enough), Camping World's big American flags and even bigger FU to every city that complains about 'em, some thoughts about the hazards of folks who break into your country being allowed to drive 40,000lb not-very-guided cruise missiles, and some great video of a small Philippines Coast Guard cruiser outsmarting two Chinese warships into ramming each other. Backing it all up - literally and metaphorically - is The Prodigy and a proper Excellent Weirdo RIP for classic English acting oddball Terrence Stamp (if you haven't seen him in "The Limey", you're missing out - dude could act, and that movie's got fire and some high-Q ass-kicking).

08.09.25 (MP3): High-Mountain Four-Wheeling @ JFSummit3 - Go Do Stuff! Grenadier VS 4Runner, Eddyline VS Elevation, Skids VS Rocks, History VS Bureaucrats, Camping VS Cabinning, GMRS VS CB, Fox VS King VS Bilstein + 'Froading MVP = Chainsaw
The Garage Hour: home of microaggressions (plus the other kind) - your favorite gearhead goons got lost in the good stuff (Collegiate Mountains above Salida, Poncha Springs, Buena Vista and St. Elmo) and their trucks will never be the same. Cohosts White Mark the Diversity Hire and the Walkin' Dude came along, and dragged FOB cohosts Papa Smurf and Mike the Gimp along for the fracas. Trails? Tomichi Pass and Hancock Pass (so many rocks), the Bonanza Mine complex (so many options), Mt. Antero (so many feet above sea level), Taylor Mountain (so many llamas), and Billings Lake (so many free beers)... On the way up and down, new Ineos Grenaders were dropped on old rocks, old 4Runners climbed some new obstacles, an Extreme Outback toolbox compressor got a cohosting credit, and an e-Jeep almost drove itself off a cliff. See more at "JFSummit3" on Instaspam. Along the way, many sidelong awesomes occurred: Sammy Davis Jr. and the "Cannonball Run", Charlie Daniels and the Beau Weevils, illegal ham and some Bad Fangs, a sweet StayinSalida rental won the cabin versus tent argument, and somebody decided to buy some new shocks.

04.14.25 (MP3): Traffic Jackassery: On-Ramp Stoplights VS Reality, Control VS Improvement, Hurry VS Slowy, CO's Lane Spitting Fail, Sunday Drivers VS Fat Chicks, Merging VS Traffic, Breaking Down Safely, & Honoring the Social Contract
Don't get traffucked - it's up to people who think, who see, and who comprehend to deal with the state of cars and trucks around us (instead of being ground into quivering sheetmetal jelly by the incompetence of the four-wheeled troglodytes and chuds who seek to drag us down to their level of base idiocy). What makes it worse, bad bureaucracy compounds the failings of the flabby halfwit shoveling breakfast into her face in the hybrid in the next lane by adding ineffectual laws, dysfunctional lanes and obsequious lemminglike expectations like a blanket full of smother. The Garage Hour is here to help, though - we'll point out the landmines, be they Sunday drivers on a Monday, dominant mergers, aggressive sloggers, lane splitters or local crashers. Lest we forget the icing: 4Runner shocks for boingless 'froading, cars that are too fat, bourgeois Jeeps, hardcore construction equipment and so much Snail (all "Feral", all the time).
50,000 watts of gearhead terror. We’re the talk radio blowtorch you want, chock-full of cars, trucks, beers and guns since 2009. We'll be your go-to for gearhead get-some, full of the sliciest canyon carving, dirtiest off-roading, biggest calibers, hairiest sasquatches, loudest explosions, plus the best epic fails, smoking rubble and blue-collar awesomesauce since Top Gear full of beer.
