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 →

http://throwinwrenches.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/TW-28.mp3 We have the C’s for you this week.  Eric and his Wife drove like crazy people over the back-roads of Wisconsin in the Cheese Freeze Rally.  We talk about the Coronavirus attacking China and how that might affect part distribution for months to come.  We also get caught up in Superbowl commercials.  We run down all the automotive ads from the big game and decide which ones we liked best.  Sorry… “Smart Paaaahk” does not start with a C…  otherwise I would have integrated it into the title. We are one again indebted to our show sponsors: Casey Law Office Fort’s Toyota of PekinRead More →

http://throwinwrenches.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/TW27-Final.mp3 Welcome to 2020 and thanks for tuning in for our first show of the year! We will admit to being a little rusty after nearly a month off, but hang in there with us! Are we the auto podcast with 20/20 vision? (Aren’t you already sick of that?) Probably not, but we will keep working on the catchphrase! We hope you had an amazing holiday season. Did you get that thing you wanted for your car? The racing thing? Did it get you a 100 more horsepower? If not, maybe we will fill that void in your automotive soul with Episode 27. Highlights WeRead More →

OK… I know we are all feeling the same way about this new Tesla “Cybertruck”. Is it scary? Does it lack design? Is it a practical joke? Is it a poor man’s Batmobile? Perhaps Elon is secretly prepping us for his Mars vehicle. Have we seen this truck in a H.R. Giger landscaped movie or something James Cameron devised for the Terminator? I don’t think it’s a joke. I think Elon really believes that these hard edges are the sci-fi future design that will get him and his customers noticed when they make the all-electric truck purchase. Why buy something that is indistinguishable from theRead More →

Welcome to Throwin’ Wrenches, the automotive podcast that gets the best guests! Okay, so we’re trying that catchphrase on for size. Don’t worry, we’ll probably change it in the next episode.

Sponsors By now, you’re probably familiar with Mr. Gabriel Casey after his world-famous debut on Episode 20.

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 →
