Car Talk Classics: No Factory Recalls. So Far.
There may be an occasional flaw in the auto expert advice of brothers Tom and Ray Maggliozzi, but the complaint box remains empty, with no factory recall in sight. The next entry in the ever popular Car Talk Classics series features four all time favorite Car Talk episodes, hand-picked by host Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers, and presented here together for the first time. Car Talk continues to be one of public radio's most popular and laugh-inducing programs, with a weekly audience of 4 million listeners.
Car Talk, winner of a Peabody Award, is broadcast each week to NPR stations nationwide. The world's wackiest call-in show, it mixes automotive advice with wisecracks, roadside philosophy, and guffaws. No problem is too ridiculous, no solution to absurd, and before you know it, "you've wasted another perfectly good hour listening to Car Talk." Or, in this case, four.

This audio set is a true classic. It had me laughing out loud through-out.
"Don't drive like my brother!"
CAR TALK CLASSICS - NO FACTORY RECALLS. SO FAR with Click and Clack is truly a priceless classic! Don't be fooled by the title, as even though it sounds like it's written for mechanics - and I'm sure mechanics enjoy the show - the show has broad appeal and provides comic relief to everyone! The show is known for the callers who call in with the craziest problems. Relationships are freely discussed in a most hilarious manner. It's like a radio version of I Love Lucy on steroids.
In case you don't know, the show hosts, Click and Clack, are really two brothers, Tom and Ray Maggiliozzi, also known as the Tappet Brothers. The brothers have been dishing out their car wisdom spiced with lame jokes, ham-fisted antics, knuckle-headed comments, puzzlers and moronic advice that can't help but leave their listeners laughing out loud since 1977 when the show started. It moved to NPR in 1987 where it's been ensconced as a fan-favorite ever since.
This is a four-disc set described as thus:
Disc 1: Richard, His Goats, and Doris with an original air date of August 30, 2014
Disc 2: Deep Space Car Talk with an original air date of January 18, 1997
Disc 3: Click and Clack's Campus Counseling with an original air date of November 29, 2008
Disc 4: My Own Son! with original air date of May 10, 2003
This audio set had me laughing out loud through-out. I can see myself listening to it over and again. I am not mechanically-minded in the least and you don't need to be to enjoy listening to Click and Clack! My son, who has listened to the show with me many times since he was little and is also not mechanically inclined, has been known to quote them. My mother was a huge fan of the show, too, so it's a show for all ages. Watch out, though, as you might pick up some handy car tips while you're being highly entertained! I would think that this set would be a must-own for fans of the Tappet Brothers. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys slapstick comedy! It's a hoot!

5 Wine Glasses!

Published by HighBridge in April of 2015.
Multicast Performance.
Duration: Approximately 3.5 hours
After 35 years on the air, there are no more Car Talk episodes being made.Tom has passed on and Ray Magliozzi is retired. But, they still are broadcast on NPR stations across the country. NPR is also going back and searching for great episodes to sell. This is a four episode collection that probably dates from the late 1990s, based on the cars that they were discussing.
In these episodes Tom and Ray weigh in on the following:
-The lady in Alaska whose truck only goes up hills in reverse (and how she ended up in Alaska in the first place).
-The woman whose husband bought a car to rebuild and restore that only worked in reverse.
-The woman who had 33 different cars in the last 15 years.
