Moms have served honorably in the minivan wars. Negotiated conflicting advise between husbands and fathers. Now brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi give mothers their due respect in this new collection of calls from Car Talk.
The best part is having their mother come on. It really added some humanity to these two goofballs. It is hard not to laugh when the brothers start chuckling and snorting. I miss this show and wish there were more programs like Car Talk.

The hosts of NPR's Car Talk, Tom and Ray Magliozzi, offer highlights from their radio show with the theme of motherhood. If you are not familiar with the show, well it is unique. Two brothers who aren't really mechanics (but do have a lot of experience fixing cars) take calls about cars and car repair. They laugh and mercilessly kid one another and sometimes actually get around to offering advice on how to fix a car.
3 1/2 stars Not quite as entertaining as some of their other collections, but there are enough good moments that I can round up to four stars. This one has several visits from their mother Elizabeth. Interesting to hear from the woman who raised these two nutballs.
