10.08.17 (MP3): Girls Off-Road! Tires, Trucks & Taboos w/ Charlene Bower of Ladies Off-Road Network, + the State of 'Froading, a Baja 1000 Preview, Trail Tire Technology, & Stealing the Skipper's Burrito During a Late Night @ Helix Brewing

While the cohosts are away building bumpers, bullets and blackout tint, Hostus Maximus will play (with Tomahawk, all show long).  Gasoline and caffeine.  7mm-08 and .308.  Bourbon and coffee.  iMacs, iPhones and iCars (win, win and lose).  Automakers losing their electric religion as shoppers lose the fad.  Integra and Cutlass.  Woke fails at 30,000ft and corporates bail on ground-level politics.

Meanwhile, we’ve got some stand-in cohosts:  Dave Mustaine, Thomas Sowell, Layne Staley, Mike Patton, Rob Zombie, plus CHUDS, troglodites, morlochs and the lung brush.

What do you get for the episode that has everything?  This cut of the Garage Hour with Justin, Justmark and Justcaleb even sports a backup Caleb (in the form of his sensible son Liam), who schools the newbs on smart kid firearm rules, and Justmark on MySpace humor.  Just to be thorough, there’s a race report from this year’s 24 Hours at Daytona, a range report on an almost-on M24 in .308 and a never-off Weatherby Vanguard in 7mm-08, a reloading report featuring Hornaday, Vargit, AA, boat-tails, NATO M80s and fire-formed brass, and a wayout report on what old hamburgers and Jap bombs from WW2 have in common.

It’s in there: advice for children about guns (from a kid who appears to know well enough), Green Street and McCurdy’s Bodyworks in Pasadena, the best (and least) U.S. presidents, plus rye bread.

Alien technology (might be fun at parties but probably won’t solve anything).  While we’re at it, Hostus Maximus Justin Fort revels in the old Party Point ‘Squatch Runs, Justmark’s M1A, tales of cohosts like The Jaimz and Dirty Dave, crime versus law and order (and citizens living in an upside-down world that makes the Second Amendment even more important), Uncle Doug’s Northstar-powered Caddy versus Dad’s Lincoln, and what it means for a tire to actually work in sheddy snowy situations.  There’s also a lot of red meat in this episode for Jeep haters, bureaucratic fakers, tire deflators and Eurocrat takers.

More more more:  Foghat, Deep Purple, Get Shorty, Dennis Farina and John Travolta, plus Ryan’s whiskey, Leslie’s Miata and Churchill’s quote.

Who’s doing what this summer?  You’d better get some things figured because whether it’s Tail of the Dragon, 24 Hours of LeMans, JF Summit, or just a few runs at Palomar, any high-Q gearhead fun requires a little foresight (even if that just means inflating tires)…. But you’ll need to survive that long to make anything happen, so the Gearhead Consultancy chats up a few home-defense shotgun options (870, 500 and 1300, for example), and factors for recalcitrant applicant-operating cohost PK JustCaleb.  JustMark and JustIn are here to help - like any good geek should be.

Want more?  The value of dummy rounds for loading practice.  A silenced .22 varmint slayer.  Cale Yarborough and Alex Trebeck (R.I.P., you excellent weirdos).  Knives from CFK, David Yellowhorse, Hill & Creek, Whiskey Bent and Cold Steel.  Some suggestions for your next home inspection.  Also, a bunch of road racing madness (because we can’t not).

So much junk in this trunk… Zippos and hippos and chrome-plated nipples, plus a fancy Luftkraft shift knob cohost PK Caleb (ala EAS) bought for the Porsche he hasn’t yet.  Hostus Maximus Justin Fort’s reports from the Tanner Gun Show illuminated more than overprices ammo (unless you’re willing to bundle bullets) - yes, used and new pew-pews are starting to act affordably again (so don’t sit on your hands).  He also picked up a neato flexy Bad Ass (straight out’a Texas) IWB holster for one of the compacts, which iridium 192-soaked cohost Isotope of Mark immediatedly coveted, but he managed to slake his thirst with a scouterized M1A he built for why nots…  Hey, it’s the Garage Hour - because why not is why enough.

Whyle we’re at it:  proprietary Japanese rounds, the NRA has been DeWayned (probably should’a mentioned that sooner), Norma’s making a .22LR that’ll drop squirrels at 500 yards, and shotguns for Caleb, R.L.O. Custom Leather for Mark and risotto for Justin.  Hell yes, we’re awesome.
