Car Talk: The Greatest Stories Ever Told: Once upon a Car Fire

by Ray Magliozzi

You decide to waste another perfectly good hour getting bogus car advice from the Car Talk guys when what should happen but some remark from the caller launches either Tom or Ray off topic and onto a story about The Sleek Black Beauty, their most recent wife, or their days at MIT.

I found this fun CD at my library. One of the funniest things about listening to Tom and Ray is the way they laugh hysterically and guffaw and chortle way out of proportion to the funniness of what's being said. Hearing them cackle and snort often makes me laugh more than the story does.

What can I say? I love Car Talk and adore the Magliozzi brothers. Their humor is greatly entertaining.

Usually 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.

A; another easy hour of listening at work. Fun stories that make me seem like an automobile genius.
