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 →

As the late great Joan Rivers would ask…  “Can we talk?  Can we talk?” The answer on this latest episode of Throwin Wrenches is “YES! We know how to talk”.  As a matter of fact… We take this show into the unrealized depths of 90 minutes! We are not the Joe Rogan show… But we can assure you that we had 90 minutes of car news to share!  So much so, that we talked about doing more shows to keep up! On the show: What are Throwin Wrenches by definition? Eric and Daryl’s ongoing projects World News: The Supra release Carlo’s Goshen watch continues PrinceRead More →
