Mar 26, 2011
Mar 26, 2011
This week on Car Talk, Dave's daily commute depends on the kindness of strangers, who often deserve dope-slaps. How close to "life in jeopardy" does he need to be before winding up to deliver? Meanwhile, Mike in Utica can't tell whether his mechanic's a genius or a quack, so he's turning to two guys who just might be a little of each; Wendy's worried that the curious behavior of her fiance's clutch will cause her future father-in-law to think she's a ditz; and, we have scientific evidence that one Magliozzi may be smarter than the other--or should we say, less stupid? All this and lots more, this week on Car Talk.
