Thanks for tuning in to the Automotive Podcast that CAN actually sell a car!  Eric unloaded Red Mist last week, and now can boast that he has one less car than Daryl.  Baby steps, people! We’ve got a lot of content packed into this latest show, and you won’t want to miss some of the local news updates. We also talk a fair amount about Knight Rider and why role-playing is kinda cool if your wardrobe ensemble happens to include a wicked cool 70s or 80s car. Thanks to our sponsors! Forts Toyota of Pekin Casey Law Office of Morton Yes, you read that correctly.Read More →

http://throwinwrenches.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/tw34-final.mp3 We’re glad you’re back for another installment of the auto podcast that values its prep time… or perhaps we’re the auto podcast that needs some Red Bull before the show.  At any rate, we’re still working on the catchphrase. Thanks for catching up with us. For those who said Episode 32 was a high watermark, we appreciate that. We’ll try to top it with this episode. And the next. And the one after that. In all seriousness we have some exciting guests in the hopper for the next few shows, so be sure to subscribe and follow along. You won’t want to miss what’sRead 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 →
