Published in 2006 by HighBridgeDuration: 1 hourUsually Ray and Tom Magliozzi's "Car Talk" show on NPR is a mixture of humor, stories and lots of advice on car repair and maintenance. This collection, though, is all funny stories (only the barest amount of car advice is given). There are sixteen stories in all, with topics ranging from the dangers of carrying plywood on the roof of your car to what to do if a customer brings in a really smelly car to how one of the brother's did during his stint in the army as a young man (hint: not well). Some are really funny, some are merely amusing but if you are a fan of the show you will enjoy this collection.
If you try to drive while listening this you will surely laugh yourself right off the road!
with barely a speed bump in the road. I love listening to Car Talk on NPR, so when we had a family trip of a could of hours I decided to get this for us to listen to on the way. Not all family members were familiar with Click and Clack, but by the time we reached our destination, they sure were. If the comments don't make you laugh, Tommy's cackle will. I'd heard some of the stories before but I still found them funny the second-- or third-- time around. I've since bought other compilations of Car Talk and we've enjoyed them all.
My husband loves Car Talk and Garrison Keillor and listens to them every week on radio and when they are not on radio he is playing the CDs. He has a huge collection of books and CDs and I have listened to some so many times I could repeat them word for word. Please make some new ones !
These guys could make describing a turnip funny. They get to laughing so hard that you just have to laugh...sometime you don't even know what they are talking about but you are laughing with them anyway. The car problems don't even have to be funny. We enjoy listening to the stories over and over and play the tapes for anyone who visits and seems to need cheering up! They deserve to retire as long as you continue to air the reruns!
I guess you either love these guys or you hate them. My wife finds them incredibly annoying when she hears them on the radio.Myself, I love them. Their accents are not off-putting to me, and I love how they laugh together.What I've learned over time, though, is that the 'straight' answers they provide are actually pretty authoritative. They actually know what they're talking about, based not only on their extensive formal education but also based on their hands-on work with many, many cars.If I personally found anything annoying, it's only their constant self-referencing which gets old. However, it's a part of their "shtick" which we would not want to do without...
This is the 3rd Car Talk CD I've bought for my husband. He loves Click and Clack. The first two were great! Laughed our heads off. ("Never Listen To Your Father" and "Calls About Animals and Cars"). This CD was not so good. No calls, just a lot of long talking.Don't recommend this one.
These are the best stories told by the best in the car business.Buy confidently
