Car Talk Field Guide to the North American Wacko!
A radio road trip across America features some of the nuttiest callers ever to phone Click and Clack. Like Dave from Bemidji, Minnesota, who relies on a rusty barbecue grill to get his Chevy Cavalier home from Alaska when it already has 350,000 miles on the odometer. And Dinesh, who strolls across Death Valley. Rather than worry about buzzards, he’s concerned about how his car will hold up in the heat.
Christy wants to know if she fried her dad’s Citation. Tanya the personal trainer makes Genghis Khan seem like a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Adrienne frets that a load of rocks might crush her Saab. Single guy John wonders if he should tidy up his car for a first date or reveal its trashy self. And when Ann’s husband travels from Georgia to Florida to get his vasectomy reversed, Ann drives like a banshee to bring him back home. Ever since, their Caravan makes strange grinding noises.
