A Fair Trade?
What do you mean by a "slight" slip, Harry?
#1010: The Dart vs. The Bel Air
Original Air Date: 03.06.2010
Description:
This week on Car Talk, Romauldus in Connecticut is preparing for his mid-life crisis by readying bids on two heaps, either of which could have come from Tommy's driveway. Will Tom and Ray help him keep the whole transaction a secret from the Missus? Meanwhile, English teacher Mike is preparing for a 13-day, 5,000 mile road with nine students in a Chevy van, prompting Ray to recall a memorable trip North with dear Uncle Dodo. Also, black tape over a flashing Check Engine light doesn't seem to fix a Voyager's fuel problem, and a team of janitors go to work under the floor of a Grand Cherokee. All this plus a new Puzzler from the Forces of Nature series, this week on Car Talk.

Favorite Moment: when Ray says "Bye Bye" ;^)
Static shocks when entering or exiting car
by Mary Lou KlipoYou were right on with the tire conductivity I think. I got my new Mazda Protege 5 in February years ago and I continually got terrible shocks with sparks of blue light and then after a bit it stopped which was when I got new tires and it never happened again.
awesome
by tjb913your show is great!!!
Favorite Moment: every moment is awesome!! i love your show!!
a real "solid lifter"?
by AnonymousGood to know that there are sensible, down-in-earth guys like Tom who appreciate venerable vehicles like the Dart. The short-strokers can salivate over Bel Airs, but whether a slant six or a 'cuda 273, you couldn't beat the Mopars.
Favorite Moment: Finding out I was 4-F...
