Alberto is a sociology professor in Utah teaching his students about issues of societal inequality. His old, banged-up VW is consistent with his self-image as a hip college prof. But his wife is dead set on buying a new Volvo and Alberto is in a panic about what such a bourgie ride will mean for his campus cool factor. Will the brothers be sympathetic? FAT CHANCE! That, more calls and a new puzzler on this episode of the Best of Car Talk.
