Episode 74 – Clarkson, Carlos & Uber Cars

January 31, 2023·1 hr 26 min·2 clips
Uber wants a car. Will Jeremy Clarkson ever work again? All that on Throwin' Wrenches.
Eric Stahl and Daryl Scott cover automotive news (Uber vehicle interest, Clarkson controversy), celebrate podcast reviews, announce Patreon and merchandise opportunities, then dive into personal automotive projects. Eric discusses his TRD Pro 4Runner tire and lift plan (switching from 265s to 285s for better stance like his first Treehugger), his SCCA board involvement organizing Central Illinois region car shows, and his dealings with Daryl's Treehugger 1. Daryl recounts a Christmas septic system emergency (cracked pipes, backed-up toilets, professional repair with camera inspection and excavation) and reflects on vehicle modification philosophy—learning that subtle upgrades beat aggressive modifications. The episode balances sponsor integration (Ford's Toyota Pekin), Patreon benefits, irreverent humor (Wienermobile hot-rod fantasy), and practical automotive enthusiasm.
