http://throwinwrenches.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/TW-35-Final.mp3 Here at Throwin’ Wrenches Podcast, we love all things automotive.  But when the phrase Cannonball Run is uttered, our ears perk up! Whether its the classic 1981 Hal Needham film featuring Burt Reynolds and the hilarious cast of characters to the real-life unsanctioned Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. There’s something appealing about hopping into a purpose-built car or truck and blazing across the entire United States in just over a day’s time. It takes real guts to put it all on the line just to prove that you (and your well-oiled machine) can endure a non-stop run across the United States.   What startedRead More →

http://throwinwrenches.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/tw34-final.mp3 We’re glad you’re back for another installment of the auto podcast that values its prep time… or perhaps we’re the auto podcast that needs some Red Bull before the show.  At any rate, we’re still working on the catchphrase. Thanks for catching up with us. For those who said Episode 32 was a high watermark, we appreciate that. We’ll try to top it with this episode. And the next. And the one after that. In all seriousness we have some exciting guests in the hopper for the next few shows, so be sure to subscribe and follow along. You won’t want to miss what’sRead More →

Throwin’ Wrenches – 31 http://throwinwrenches.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/tw31.mp3 Welcome back! It’s official, we are “The Auto podcast that will not phone-in another show!”… Well, that’s what we swore on this episode anyway. (We are still working on the catchphrase.) Episode 30 was our “phone-in” show, and we know that the audio quality was not to our standards. It was a tough call last month when we made the show. Content is king in the social media world, but sometimes you have to concede that no content might have been better. Enough with the self flagellation. On with Episode 31! Recorded in the Scott Garage following strict social distancingRead More →

If you’re chomping at the bit to get something done during this COVID-19 pandemic, you’re not alone. Following the social distancing advice on the order of America’s top public health officials, governors, and the President is the best way to prevent the spread of this potentially deadly virus. We all know that. We also know that being trapped in our houses or apartments for weeks on end, even with our loved ones nearby, can be mentally taxing. We have stuff to do! Projects to finish. Maintenance to perform! But is now really the time? Real Talk If we’re being honest, most of us who doRead More →

Throwin’ Wrenches – Episode 30 Welcome to the Auto Podcast that is hosted by “essential employees” Daryl and Eric had a full week of work… Because we are essential! While navigating friends, family and kids all running amok with the social distancing orders that Illinois put into place last weekend, it made it hard to get time for a show. In the meantime, we are still working on the catchphrase. One will stick sooner or later. We know that Eric sometimes “phones it in” when we do the show… But that is literally what he did in this episode. Social distancing has left us inRead More →

The cure to self quarantine:  Well produced Auto Racing (kinda) on Youtube!  Hours of it! While Daryl is cruising the tourist attractions of Orlando…  I’m stuck home “cyber-cruising” YouTube. When I am not watching Donut Media or Expedition Overland, I am browsing for new channels and talent.  Usually, my night ends up on a Russian Traffic-fail channel.  (Dont even judge me, I know you watch them too!)  Good news though, I have found a new channel to love on, my current obsession is a YouTube page called 3DBotMaker Die Cast Racing. Find me a kid who had hot-wheels tracks in the 70’s or 80’s thatRead More →

Patreon, we talk about it on the show, here is the info. Lets be straight shooters here…  We are not hurting for bucks and the show is not in risk of going bust.  BUT, we do throw money into every episode of the show.  Not to mention, the host’s wives love seeing our server fees and Facebook ads show up on the credit card.  That was sarcasm. To this point, all money that has been given to us by our sponsors has been put directly back into social media advertising.  We would love more listeners, so that is our current focus with any fundraising.

With a spirit of competition and gritty determination to win, we at Throwin’ Wrenches like to envision ourselves as the Cole Trickle and Rowdy Burns of the automotive podcast game. That’s our take. In reality, we’re more like J.J. McClure and Victor Prinzi. Those guys were still pretty cool, and if we’re being honest, they were a little more entertaining. Welcome to Episode 29, which should come with a full tank of gas and that brand-new podcast smell. As always, you can click the Become a Patreon link and toss a few bucks our way for some exclusive content. You’ll also be helping to keepRead More →
