#1047 Let Sleeping Camrys Lie
Original Air Date: 11.20.2010
Description:
This week on Car Talk, a bad case of marital guilt hits Alethea in
Texas. She's "riding round in the Taj Mahal," while her husband's
stuck driving a '99 Camry that can't keep its hubcaps on. Can she
ease her conscience by finding him the perfect hubcaps, or should she
follow Ray's advice to let sleeping dogs lie? Elsewhere on the auto-
marital front, Amy in Ohio is hoping her hubby will dump his "Giving
Tree" a.k.a. his '92 Pathfinder; and Debbie in Indiana wonders if a '97
Ford pickup with 300,000 miles is worth claiming in a divorce
settlement. Also, on Stump the Chumps, we find out if Tom and Ray
helped get rid of Don's squeal, and the familial exile that came with
it. All this, plus a new Puzzler from the Haute Couture series, this
week on Car Talk.

Laughter is good for the soul
by k.mccormickI love you guys. Laughter is better than anti depressants. It's a great stress reliever, and I never fail to laugh when I listen to your show. Wish there were others like it. You are always so helpful to people (especially women) who would otherwise be up the creek, if you know what I mean. Even though I've worked on cars my entire life, I never fail to learn something new from you guy's. Thank you so much, and keep up the good work.
Favorite Moment: Wouldn't know where to start.
