50,000 watts of gearhead terror. We’re the talk radio blowtorch you want, chock-full of cars, trucks, beers and guns since 2009. We'll be your go-to for gearhead get-some, full of the sliciest canyon carving, dirtiest off-roading, biggest calibers, hairiest sasquatches, loudest explosions, plus the best epic fails, smoking rubble and blue-collar awesomesauce since Top Gear full of beer.

  • Good gearhead stuff.

    Met this dude at the track once. He was test-driving for Ford or one of the car mags. Funny as Hell and just a little crazy. He does good talk radio.

  • Gearhead stuff! Love these guys.

    I've been listening to the Garage Hour for years. These guys mess with cool gearhead stuff all the time, and they're real geeks, not poseurs - they don't talk about it unless they know about it. Tell your friends. This show is treasure waiting to be found.
