Product Description
You decide to waste another perfectly good hour getting bogus car advice from the Car Talk guys when what should happen but some remark from the caller launches either Tom or Ray off topic and onto a story about The Sleek Black Beauty, their most recent wife, or their days at MIT.

I forgot how to do it February 26, 2008
Car Talk: The Greatest Stories Ever Told: Once Upon a Car Fire... (Car Talk) I've fogotten how to listen to my radio(s) because they make me mad when I can't find a clear station or a certain station. So I don't hear Car Talk often enough in real time. I have been buying books to read to myself (but bothering others) by bursting into sharp and loud laughter, or with CD's in the car where I can laugh and laugh all alone. I connect with your family because ours is much the same except we don't laugh much anymore. I FORGOT HOW TO DO IT! Thanks for reminding me, guys!
Don't drive February 13, 2008
If you try to drive while listening this you will surely laugh yourself right off the road!

I guess you either love these guys or you hate them. My wife finds them incredibly annoying when she hears them on the radio.
Myself, I love them. Their accents are not off-putting to me, and I love how they laugh together.
What I've learned over time, though, is that the 'straight' answers they provide are actually pretty authoritative. They actually know what they're talking about, based not only on their extensive formal education but also based on their hands-on work with many, many cars.
If I personally found anything annoying, it's only their constant self-referencing which gets old. However, it's a part of their "shtick" which we would not want to do without...
