Car talk

For more than 30 years, car talk on National Public Radio (NPR) featured the antics of Tom and Ray Magliozzi, a pair of car mechanics who fielded calls from listeners about their automotive questions, interspersed with a healthy dose of humor. Over the years the brothers noticed several themes emerging, eventually creating collections of related car questions available on CD. One such collection is Why You Should Never Listen to Your Father, which features numerous examples of questionable (and outright wrong) conventional wisdom about automobiles. Unfortunately Tom Magliozzi passed away last year, so no new episodes of Car Talk are being produced. However, you can still hear classic episodes of the show (and by classic, they mean old) on most NPR stations.
