https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thebeerreport/TW_55_Final.mp3 Welcome to the automotive podcast that crosses boundaries. Some of those boundaries are subjective, others happen to be international.  Also, welcome all the SEMA 2022 travelers looking for an automotive podcast that’s worth a damn! Did you know that we’re the #1 Automotive Podcast in Burkina Faso? Neither did we until recently. Maybe we’ll do a remote show there one day. Maybe not. In other news, we’ve just finished putting the second coat of wax on Episode 55, and we hope you enjoy it! To join in on the fun of the show, just email us at info@throwinwrenches.com or post a review on iTunesRead More →

Whether you’re new to the program, or you stumbled into this place for the first time, we’d like to welcome you to the automotive podcast that never forgets a great guest. Our good friend Regan is back for another episode of Throwin’ Wrenches where he joins us for more in-depth conversation about all things automotive. We also go down a few non-automotive rabbit holes to discuss the virtues of old appliances (like Regan’s 1951 Frigidaire refrigerator) versus new appliances, we learn exactly how creepy the new Tesla robots will be, and we even get a glimpse into Eric’s latest recreational vehicle purchase. Don’t worry, it’sRead More →

Welcome to the Auto podcast that can Wrangle a new Bronco without a Blazer.  Follow that?  I say, son, did that stick between your ears?  In this episode, we follow up on the conversation from Episode 50.1 about how comparable the pricing is between the new Ford Bronco and a Jeep Wrangler.  Specifically, we wanted to see if the base models stacked up and just how cheap can you get these vehicles for?  It was a fun exercise, tune in! We also talk a little bit about Lordstown Motors.  There are several EV truck makers vying for a spot in your post-2030 garage.  Lordstown promisedRead More →

Welcome back to the automotive podcast that enjoys a nice bottle of chianti when we aren’t wrenching on a project or searching the internet for the latest automotive news. In fact, several former guests of Throwin’ Wrenches Podcast could be found in Eric’s kitchen in recent weeks, devouring most of an ibérico ham from Costco and drinking fine wine on a warm spring evening. It was a bacchanalian delight that will probably be repeated in the near future. We hope everyone is also happy and healthy this Spring, and is busy making plans for summer adventures with friends and family. More on some of our adventuresRead More →

Welcome to the automotive podcast that can really “yuck some yums.” Is that even a phrase? As heard in Episode 43, Daryl seems to think it is. Eric’s still on the fence. Regardless of the weekly catchphrase, we’re glad you’re here! https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thebeerreport/TW44_-_Final.mp3 Episode Highlights In this episode, we’ve prepared an all-new interview with a familiar voice, and a topical conversation about something we’ve been hearing a lot about in recent weeks: The chip shortage. We’re not talking about Lay’s, Ruffles or Tostitos disappearing from the snack aisle at Kroger. While a lack of salty snacks may be a serious inconvenience, the very real shortage ofRead More →

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 →
