#1003: The Madagascar Hissing Cockroach
Original Air Date: 01.16.2010
Description:
This week on Car Talk, a creative birthday present spawns an auto-infestation crisis for Beatrice in Pennsylvania. The pregnant cockroach she got for dad got loose in the family BMW, and when it emerged, it may have left behind a few hundred cockroach juniors. Can the car be returned to its pre-bug state? Find out.
Also, on Stump the Chumps, Tom and Ray find out if they correctly diagnosed the noise coming from Malcolm's steering wheel, and get a jaw-dropping
reply; a VW tries to escape from its owner when it's parked; and has Tommy's dream job finally opened up?
All this, plus a new puzzler from the Automotive History series, and lots more, this week, on Car Talk.

Beer Remedy
by AnonymousThe huge cockroaches native to The U.S. love beer, and will die happily if she puts a few open saucers full of it around on the flat surfaces overnight (or more than once if needed). Maybe these foreigners will too!!
