#1629: Death by Soap
Jul 16, 2016
Jul 16, 2016
This week on The Best of Car Talk, Greg was surprised when his truck started running poorly, until he learned that his four-year-old son had washed the inside of the gas tank with soap. Should Greg stick his kid with the repair bill? Elsewhere, Judy can’t decide if her son-in-law is brilliant or wacko for raising the hood of his Volvo after every drive; Gil’s Camry may be leaving a trail of clutch fluid from Houston to Phoenix; Debra’s knocking is nothing compared to the sound of two hosts banging their heads together trying to figure out what’s causing it; and, what does Gavin’s car have in common with King Tut’s tomb? All this and more, this week on The Best of Car Talk.
