04.02.26 (MP3): U.S.A. VS Chinese Cars (Park the Pinko Peril), Dude-Don't D.U.I. (Learn a Lesson from Tiger's Travails), Fixing Things Because You Can (Drive Belts VS Digital), Used Car Prices: New VS Old, + So Much Zep & Rando Beer Adventures

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Chinese cars, lessons from Tiger Woods' DUIs, the used car market, and includes humor and beer adventures.

Some serious stuff lands better with humor, so help yuck up some doom and gloom with the Garage Hour gearheads. We've got the potential peril of cars made in China (everything from unactuated robot cars and vampire technology to dangerously chintzy products and blatant trademark infringement) and the real-life lessons you and we can learn from the rinse-and-repeat episodes of Tiger Woods' DUIs (let the celeb make the mistake for you). From there, there's some thought development on a schism developing in the used car market (new and old - divergent, but why?), and a reminder that some tech is easy to fix because it's easy to fix (geeks can do stuff!). Also in there: loads of Led Zeppelin (Physical Graffiti, of course), and some adventures in foam with beer from the sale shelf (why not enjoy some beer tourism?).
