02.16.26: Fog Wrecks & Shipwrecks, Hypermiling & the Stupid Stoplight Button, CO2 is Good for You, Recalls for Quiet Electrics, How Not to Get Arrested by the Police, & Texas VS Evil Chinese Mystery Seeds, + More History (Schmistory)

Order, schmorder - this much gearhead goodness doesn't need "order" (especially when an episode at the junkyard had to hit beforehand)...  This episode is in good Garage Hour form: reporting from the industry (the stupid stoplight shutoff feature that nobody likes and does literally nothing beneficial is no longer necessary - kind'a like that belt buzzer from the '70s), musings on interesting/weird/underappreciated automotive trends (hypermiling, anyone?), warnings for idiots (about idiots?) about driving in the fog (because "smart" cars just make soyboys and bullygirls dumber), a couple recalls for bad manufacturing, and a few ideas about not being a psycho liar when you get pulled over by Johnny Law (and advice on how treat the fuzz and NOT to get a ticket when you do something adventurous in your vehicle). Then it's the usual awesomesoup: sheetrock sucks, string cheese and scamorza at Mollica's, the neighbor chick caught pickin' her nose again, why CO2 is just great, why Scapa Flow in particular and shipwrecks in general are just interesting, why you should never plant the mystery seeds, PPIHC 2026, phones not in your bedroom, and COC, Contagion, the Blues Bros., Tom Waits, Dire Straits, and Dog Fashion Disco.
