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 →

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 →

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 →

With sunshine, a light breeze and temperatures in the mid-40s, today’s weather was downright pleasant for December in Illinois. I  ran some errands with the Mrs. and decided today would be ideal for working in the garage.  I grabbed a case of Mobil One and a Mopar oil filter and decided to dig in to a project after lunch.  Any activities in my winter-prepped garage require playing a game of “musical cars” in order to open up some space.  4 cars in the 3 stall garage had to be moved so I could finally change the oil in the daily driver Jeep Patriot (it’s paidRead 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. Meanwhile, we’ve got a terrific episode for you this week with special guest, Todd Fortier, Program Chair of Automotive Technology at Illinois Central College. Sponsors By now, you’re probably familiar with Mr. Gabriel Casey after his world-famous debut on Episode 20.

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.

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 →

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 →
