#1221: The Steve Revolution | This week on Car Talk, could one honest man de-sleazify the entire used car industry? Probably not, but that won't stop Tom and Ray from trying to convince Steve that it'd be a good idea to fix or disclose his CRV's tendency to take on water before trading it in. This week's other probing auto-behavioral question comes from Dan in New Hampshire: Do people who keep their cars longer, stay married longer? On the technical front, Anna's Volvo will only start when it's facing downhill; Michelle's gas pedal doesn't like to move first thing in the morning; and, on Stump the Chumps, we find out if Raymond in Utah really had a chicken bone stuck in his fan. Finally, how should Sam handle his newly retired Dad, who's keeping himself busy be destroying Mom's Beetle? All this, and lots more, this week on Car Talk. | 26 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

#1220: The Black Hole of Auto Metaphysics | This week's Car Talk kicks off with one listener's brilliant (and only sorta wacko) theory: a non-essential repair on an old car creates a parallel universe in which everything else starts to break. Then it's off to New Mexico, where Nolina has two choices for dealing with a disintegrating head gasket: a $2500 engine re-build, or a $10 can of Bar's Leaks. Any bets on which side Tom and Ray come down on? Elsewhere, Michael in New Jersey needs to replace his beloved minivan with something that can accommodate his Daniel Pinkwater-ish body and his very picky teenage daughter; Brian's looking for a way to convince Little League parents to stop parking in his driveway that doesn't involve slashing tires; and on Stump the Chumps, does Tom manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of a Ray victory? All this, and lots more, this week on Car Talk. | 19 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |
