Description:
This week on Car Talk, how big a focus group do you need to declare a car too "dorky"? For Kelsey in Sacramento, the fact that her mom drives a Prius is all the research she needs to consign it to Dorkdom.
Meanwhile, Lisa in Michigan is wondering whether a facelift on her Volvo will rekindle her affections enough to keep it running or a few more years, and Colin in Oregon is losing sleep after his wife's oil change misadventures. Also, is a summer in the desert hot enough to melt four tires, and on Stump the Chumps, did the ol' "bad heat shield" diagnosis prove true for Champagne in Miami? All this, plus a new puzzler from the Medieval Castle series, and lots more, this week on Car Talk.

by AnonymousBest auto advise I have ever heard !!
by vonbissilI listen every chance I get and have submitted a question to the agents that charge for great answers. They provided the solution for my 92 940 problem that no one else could.
Favorite Moment: Friends are always welcome. If the trailer is rocking don't bother knocking!
Hot Flat Tires
by rpcarpeHeat definitely destroys a tire's ability to stay round, especially if it's parked in the sun. The deflation only exacerbates the problem.
Favorite Moment: The Chumps getting Stumped!
