#1028: Chuck, You Have Your Head Up Your Keister
Jul 10, 2010
Jul 10, 2010
This week on Car Talk, male solidarity takes one on the chin. Chuck
from Maine is worried that his wife's parking brake method is killing
their CRV. But the car will be in better shape than Chuck's ego when
Tom and Ray finish with him! Elsewhere on the vehicular front, Scott
in Oregon is worried about his Nissan's starting problem. But he's a
wee bit more concerned about protecting it from his neighbor Fat Tony,
and his big bucket o' tools. Also, Rochelle from Wyoming finds her
love for her '87 Isuzu severely tested. And on Stump the Chumps, did
Tom and Ray's venture into Mattress Aerodynamics help Howard make it
from Massachusetts to Hunga Dunga without causing a bedding backup on
I-95? All this and lots more, this week on Car Talk.
