The advice may be a little suspect, and the memories in desperate need of a tune-up, but the laughs are genuine as Click and Clack look back on an illustrious if not industrious 25 years of delighting NPR audiences with their wit, wisdom, and occasionally relevant musings on the maintenance of cars. Lovingly compiled by the long-suffering lackeys at Car Talk Plaza, this collection represents the most memorable, most hilarious moments from the show s vast archives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49926825705745,"sku":"CIN1622311205VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1622311205.jpg?v=1751024649"},{"product_id":"car-talk-doesn-t-anyone-screen-these-calls-calls-about-animals-and-cars-cd-9781598870190","title":"Car Talk: Doesn't Anyone Screen These Calls?","description":"The guys share some of their favorite calls about the world where cars and animals meet. Luckily, it s not dog-eat-dog, but sometimes it s horse-eat-steering-wheel. \u003cbr\u003e Tom and Ray Magliozzi are America s foremost auto mechanics. So usually people phone in to their radio show with questions about cars buying them, driving them, keeping them running. But every so often, out of the blue, Click and Clack are also called on to be amateur veterinary psychologists. They re asked to figure out why a horse has eaten a steering wheel, or why a 100-pound dog insists on riding on the roof of a pickup truck, or how a white rat the size of a two-liter Coke bottle got into a poor young woman s Chevy. And while they might not know the answer, they always come up with something. \u003cbr\u003e This is a collection of calls about cars, animals, and the mysterious, often hilarious times when they meet. It leads Tom and Ray down a familiar path of wild speculation, occasional brilliant suggestions, and lots of laughs. This is a must-have for anyone who loves animals, particularly the two that host Car Talk.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49943583523089,"sku":"CIN159887019XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51694680015121,"sku":"CIN159887019XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/159887019X.jpg?v=1751120144"},{"product_id":"car-talk-field-guide-to-the-north-american-wacko-cd-9781598875898","title":"Car Talk Field Guide to the North American Wacko!","description":"A radio road trip across America featuring the wackiest calls from the nuttiest specimens ever to phone the show. \u003cbr\u003e A high point of every Car Talk show is the call-in segment, when listeners phone in for advice and regale hosts Click and Clack with tales of their own automotive misadventures. \u003cbr\u003e Like Dave from Bemidji, Minnesota, who drives 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. 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. \u003cbr\u003e It seems that lunatics aren't confined to Car Talk Plaza. They're everywhere, and they're dialing the phone. Four hilarious radio shows celebrate the land of the free, home of the wacko.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50097865326865,"sku":"CIN1598875892VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50135975624977,"sku":"CIN1598875892G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1598875892.jpg?v=1751151130"},{"product_id":"car-talk-car-tunes-cd-9781565116610","title":"Car Talk: Car Tunes","description":"After Will you guys please go away?, Car Talk: Car Tunes are the most frequent listener requests fielded by Click and Clack, the famous Tappet brothers.

Click and Clack may be America's most trusted car repair experts. They are certainly the funniest, as millions of listeners who tune in each week to Car Talk can attest. As each show unfolds, it develops its own zany feeling and rhythm, sometimes due to the strength of the coffee or a particularly large burr in Tommy's undershorts. This Car Talk set is for fans who want to waste another four perfectly good hours. Rather than a best of collection, it's four complete shows every call, every joke, every Don't drive like my brother admonition, every puzzler, every punny mention of a fictional show staff member (chauffeur Picov Andropov, night club manager Don Kashane), and every maniacal laugh. The four shows include the 2002 Mother's Day extravaganza with Click and Clack's long-suffering mom, and You Can t Do It Unless the Number Is Two from February 2001, the show that gave birth to a new Car Talk mantra and exposed Tommy's radical views on education (like, it should end after 7th grade).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50296826134801,"sku":"CIN1598870998G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51423421956369,"sku":"CIN1598870998VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1598870998.jpg?v=1750830800"},{"product_id":"car-talk-born-not-to-run-more-disrespectful-car-songs-cd-9781565118812","title":"Car Talk: Born Not to Run","description":"Born Not to Run is a collection of car tunes as irreverent as they are melodic.
