Who else listens to the show? They are pretty funny, and are encyclopedias on cars. People call in with a car problem and they give the correct fix. I tell ya, they are rarely wrong and rarely stumped.

It plays on the weekends on NPR, check your local listings to get the correct time.

Good stuff. And yes, they were in Cars - one was an old dodge van IIRC. I remember because we had one exactly like it when I was a kid.

Yea, funny. But always spot on! I hear a problem and think fix X is obvious. Then they start talking about fix Y and how Z relates, then i think, "aww sh!t, i was wrong." But then they come back and explain how fixing X also takes care of Y and Z. Great stuff from an educational perspective.
