Welcome to another edition of the Throwin’ Wrenches Podcast, otherwise known as the auto podcast that is not talking about 1994 Nissan Maximas on permanent replay on NPR. God Bless Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers, but maybe it’s time to retire that program? Sponsors: As always, we’d like to extend a very sincere thank you to our sponsors, Casey Law Office Peoria and Fort’s Toyota of Pekin for helping to keep this program rolling along. We’re also a member of Peoria Podcast Alliance but we really, really need to get to a meeting sometime. Thanks for listening, everyone. Don’t forget to share this showRead More →

To start the story of our Trail Team trip to Tennessee this spring… We need to go back to October 2018 in Arkansas…  The Southern Cruiser Crawl in Hot Springs. As you know from our previous ventures to SCC, this is a favorite haunt of the Trail Team and we were there again in full force at last years event. It’s a tradition that our guys buy into the saturday night charity raffle at SCC and this year we all walked off with some great prizes.  One of them was Jake’s certificate for a free entry to the Great Smoky Mountain Trail Ride, donated byRead More →

We have talked about Rich Benoit and his YouTube channel, Rich Rebuilds.  It was a compelling and nicely produced video on the Motherboard YouTube network that first caught our eye…  Rich finds two halves of salvageable Tesla sedans and tries to marry the two cars into one functional ride.  The ensuing quest to rebuild these cars with the assistance of the local Tesla dealer becomes a comical and thought provoking display of corporate protectionism mixed with a Marx Brothers routine.  (The party of the first part…) Rich’s work with Tesla bits and pieces is asking fundamental questions that need to be answered.  Who REALLY ownsRead More →

After a week’s worth of rain, a few crummy days, and a pair of frozen pizzas, we’re back at it this week. Eric and Daryl bring you another roundup of automotive news and views from flyover country. Here’s a few highlights, but you’ll want to download the full episode to get caught up. Feedback Robert got in touch with us after the last show where we were talking about used oil hassles, and he recommended Lenz Oil Service at 3001 S.W. Washington Street, Peoria IL, 61602. in Peoria. They have a pair of DIY oil drop-off tanks open 24 hours a day, and they alsoRead More →

You Tube.  The final frontier?  Doubtful, but its certainly another avenue to explore as we promote the show. We will be putting full length episodes and all of our short clips up on the Youtube channel.  Will we ever “Joe Rogan” and record the show live???  Hard to say.  I doubt Daryl or I have the free time to edit video as well as audio shows. Regardless, if you are not a “facebook-ian”, this is another outlet to watch what we are posting. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMLb1Vdr5A300fkQv_sz-kQ PS… The channel name should change to a more legitimate URL once we are active for a month.  We will keepRead More →
