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:...

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,...

…Catching up with the episode backlog - only more to go.  Played in and out by Snail (more happy bluesy doom, says Conan), this Garage Hour’s got everything you like.  Cars and trucks (why to never buy a rental car, and diagnosing your short-bed problems), beers and guns (well, a ton of Second Amendment info about how states like Colorado and Kalifornistan are still seeking to disarm you shortly before seting grizzly bears and wolves loose in your back yard). There’s also chainsaw-grade...

…Like a kid full of candy who won’t shut up and go to sleep, it’s the episode that would’t go to bed - so much doin’ and so little time.  Well, it’s done: Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and Porsche Boy JustMark met up in the hills for fine sopressata, Irish whiskey (that loved Justin but hated Mark) and a chat about pocket pistols - commonly called a “micro” nowadays.  From Derringers to Jennings and S&Ws and LCPs, the gerhead consultants whip it out and compare misfires. When it was all...

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...

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,...

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....

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...

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...

Some times you feel like a nut (such as after an episode of the Garage Hour), and some times the recording software miscodecs a segment and you have to redrop the file raw.  Whoops.  So!  …Here’s the lost November episode of the show the gearhead goons warned you about - chock full of the goodness you demand - so at least there’s that:  making freeways fun (especially in an uncorked 5.0), the Mr. Dustin Report (Miatas and dollars and go-fast habits), the UPS chick getting truckjacked (and...

Caffiene and Christmas go together (because you can’t handle one without the other), and the Gearhead Consultancy is up to its gills in it to get through this episode.  P.K. outrovert Caleb of EAS and Radar Mark, Porsche man and sticker fan, joined Hostus Maximus Justin “Type A” Fort for this pre-holiday freeforall, and it’s got everything.  Buying a beater but not falling into the “too nice” trap, wailing on expensive cars and because why not, battleships and their powder, rifles and their...

It’s Christmastime, so why not grab the punching handle by the blondes and try the Home Depot China Challenge yourself?  …Because the gearheads in your life like what we like, we have ideas:  fine waxes (Zymol), special sips (Gilark Creekwater rye whiskey, Axe & Oak, and 291), good tools (used or new, it’s about the function), obscure watches (make the effort), tint and clear-bra from E.A.S., slot cars, Atari and N64, and the gift of babysitting (so folks can make some time).  Most...
