In this week’s show, Kate’s 1999 Golf has earned a new nickname – “Lurch.” Could it be time for a checkup? Meanwhile, Norma’s convinced she knows what’s wrong with her 1996 Dodge Intrepid – all evidence to the contrary. Then, at least there’s one guy who takes Tom and Ray’s advice. Peter in Groton has used their expertise to make his antique Ford pickup as loud and obnoxious as possible. With friends like that, who needs enemies? And, some soothing sounds: could highway rumble strips be engineered to play music? That and much more in this somewhat-symphonic edition of Car Talk.
