#2232: Donna's Theft-Proof Pontiac

Apr 19, 2022
Donna’s Pontiac is giving her problems. Instead of being the prototypical ‘Donna Pontiac’ of Car Talk lore -a Firebird, she’s stuck with a lowly Pontiac 1000 -a Chevy Chevette in disguise. And if that wasn’t bad enough, her ignition key, of all things, is causing trouble. Can Tom and Ray talk Donna into trading-in this heap for a shiny new Firebird or will they come up with a fix for this 'starter Pontiac'? Find out on this episode of the Best of Car Talk.
