Welcome to the auto podcast that can appreciate a well-run amateur sporting organization.  That’s some love aimed directly at the Champaign County Sports Car Club.  We had hopes of getting with Dean Plumadore for Episode 40, but it didn’t work out for this time.  Nevertheless, we’ll be sure to wrangle Dean for a future show to hear all of the latest escapades. Meanwhile, you’re stuck with the two regulars. Enjoy! This show is extra long to make up for the delay! Thanks again to our Sponsors Fort’s Toyota of Pekin | Instagram Casey Law Office | Also check out Gabe’s other venture, 309Arena. Patreon A bigRead 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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →
