Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns Justin Fort
-
- Leisure
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.

04.14.24 (MP3): When Bureaucrats Attack the Garage Hour (A 2A/“Animals Attack” Redux) - Feds Push Grizzlies & Wolves Into CO & WA, Statists Molest the Constitution in Court (Some More); However, the Rulings Keep Going Our Way (So Keep Punching)
What does your Second Amendment right to defend your person, people and property have to do with the government-funded effort to reinvade rural lands with man-eating (and livestock-eating, dog-eating, kid-eating and small car-eating) apex predators? Federal interference in your life. …Government overreach, bureaucratic N.I.M.B.Y.ism, a collectivist enthusiasm for a forced march into urban squalor, and the slippery statist fever dream of an empowered state at the expense of you, me and we - the independent American. Sh!t’s getting weird fast - opt in to protect yourself now, cats and kiddies.
Some episodes go together like white on rice, but this guy was hanging in the lurch for weeks. It’s got lots: running with a sidearm, Mad Cow for deer now, 700,000,000 standard-cap mags, AR-15s under assault, and loads of Deadbolt - plus some. -

04.08.24 (MP3): Break Contact w/ the Low-Info Zombies & Survive the Eclipse Apocalypse (& Other Sundry Gearhead Ruminations Like Cars, Booze, Beer & Blackouts, Hybrids VS Electrics, Hacktivists VS Hillclimbing, Hawks VS Turkeys) + Some Zep
Gearhead Consultants and Garage Hour hosts Justin Case and Marking Time met up high above the city to watch it all burn during our recent eclipsalypse. Rounds were chambered, pizza from Sprouts was et, and beers from Red Leg, Pike’s Peak, Outer Range and Dry Dock were sipped, but unfortunately, no pepperoni armed pajama perp apocalypse was thwarted, not even in the driveway. Fortunately, Justin and Justmark didn’t mind missing “shoot, shovel and shut up” because doin’s were to be discussed: a positive word or three about hybrid automotive technology, the growing dumbness of nanny tech in cars, Eneos sneg for fun and kitchen, Van Café and LaRue for edible freebies, and Dude Food ala dove and grilled sirloin from Omaha Steaks.
Don’t forget the sauce: Led Zeppelin, free televisions, Gold Camp Road, apocalypse booze and getaway vehicles, some guns, historical eclipses, more electric car fails, and Chuck Norris. -

03.13.24 (MP3): Gearheads Do Good Bond (James) & Bad Guns, Also Bond Guns, Good Beers, Bond Cars, Bad Bonds, Good Tunes, Good Bad Guys, Good Bond Gals & a Star Wars Cantina Intro
So much good stuff… From better and worse James Bonds (Connery versus Moore, the right and wrong Brosnhan… Brosnan… Brosnahan…. Remington Steele, and the “other” Bonds) to Lotus Esprit (and which one) versus DB5, DB7, 750, and AMX versus Javelin, the Gearhead Consultancy promises to ricochet off the point. Bond guns. Bond villains. Octopussy versus A View to a Kill. Pussy Galore versus Verper Lynn. Add to that a celebration of crappy guns, like an A5 Remington 1911 that shoots itself, a break-action Rossi that only shoots on safe, and Jim’s Thumper, a personal pocket five-round .44 Special super-snub that’ll deafen the bad guy whether or not the round hits anyone.
Also, Bond tunes ala ska band (what?): Skatellites, Roland Alfonso, McCartney, G n’ R, Duran Duran and the Propellerheads. Also also, very nice sips from FH Beerworks, Living the Dream and Epic Brewing. -
