#0909: Step Away from the Blanket, Paula!
Original Air Date: 02.28.2009
Description:
This week on Car Talk, Paula in Maine is convinced that the only thing getting her Subaru to start on really cold mornings is the warm blanket she's throwing on the hood. Tom and Ray are convinced Paula's a wacko, but, can they offer a better explanation?
Also, Escort owner Steve plays a game of Hide and Seek--with his battery; Avital in California wonders if motor oil separates a la Paul Newman salad dressing; and is a 10-dollar fix too expensive for a Toyota owner who's decided to only make "necessary" repairs? All this, plus a hernia-inducing puzzler from Ray, on this week's encore edition of Car Talk.

The Mouse that Roared
by rmhodgeGreat show! I particularly like the section about the man with the Volvo 2000 XCountry and the dead mouse smell.
Favorite Moment: The dead mouse piece.
