Episode 143 - Pepper Balls And Project Cars
Episode 143
Thursday, 23 April, 2026
Send us Fan MailYour weekend can go from “quick errands” to a full-on life audit fast, and that’s basically our energy here. We start with CCW renewal and the firearm safety certificate questions that always pop up right when you realize something might be expiring. Then we get into the real reason the topic matters: driving for work through downtown and tougher areas, and how you think differently when your tools and your crew are in the van. We talk non-lethal self-defense options like pepper ball pistols, what “non-lethal” really means in practice, and why avoiding life-changing legal trouble is part of the safety plan.From there it turns into classic car reality, not the Instagram version. The Pomona Swap Meet leads us into rising classic truck prices, why untouched projects are getting rarer, and how one unfinished build can kill your motivation for years. We dig into the 342 stroker engine story, smog laws, missing mounts, and the line between smart fabrication and ruining a clean car. If you’re into classic car restoration, project cars, or just the economics of old parts, this section hits hard.We also get practical: van plans like throttle body fuel injection, rewiring, and the safety stuff people avoid until it’s scary, like sloppy steering. Then we shift into modern convenience problems, from OfferUp selling friction to the Amazon returns maze that sent us to USC Village with a giant box. We wrap with Texas travel stories including Buc-ees snacks, the Dr Pepper Museum in Waco, a Dallas Stars game, great barbecue, a solid breakfast spot, and a final debate about why IPAs are too bitter for some of us.
