#2248: The Games of Ancient Grease

Jun 14, 2022
WBUR management used to make us host a party for our listeners about once per year as a way of apologizing for our lousy show. Having had our fill of Sock Hops and other events in previous years, we settled on a carnival-style occasion and called it, “The Games of Ancient Grease”. We rounded up a bunch of old car parts and invented some games of (little) skill like ’the discus-breakus toss’, ‘The MacPherson Strut’, and ‘Pin the Tail on Tommy’s Dodge Dart’. In this episode of the Best of Car Talk, we pick the winner of the all-expenses paid trip to our party from the trunk of the Dart.
