This week on Car Talk, it's time to 'fess up. A listener tale of an ill-fated jump-start prompts Tom and Ray to 'fess up to a few of their own doozies. Then it's off to Illinois, where Sarah's preparing to Go West, Young Woman, and wants to haul all her belongings in a trailer behind her Saturn. Meanwhile, New Yorker, Gabriel, needs a car to haul
his drums around, and is wondering if it's true that radio presets are a good way to judge a used car's condition. Also, Jeep owner Dave struggles with rusted rotors while reluctant Bricklin owner Rich is
struggling with his conscience. And, on Stump the Chumps, we find out if Tom and Ray did better than the local drunks at diagnosing a starting problem. All this and lots more, this week on Car Talk.
