Dec 09, 2017
Dec 09, 2017
This week on The Best of Car Talk, Tom and Ray grapple with a philosophical conundrum for the ages: if you have to choose between honesty and competence, who wins? Elsewhere, Judy’s Mom got a book of New England home remedies that suggests leaving a blanket and lightbulb under the hood; Dennis is looking for a universal sign he can use to let other driver’s know he made a bonehead move; and Fran’s daughter might be a little too enthusiastic about inheriting Grandpa’s old Town Car, which she’s dubbed The Party Barge. Also, what’s a pastor to do when his car’s emitting an embarrassing odor? All this and more, this week on The Best of Car Talk.
