Pollen girl
by Dennis998Usually you don't miss the obvious, but . . . 1. Asking if she parked outside, especially under a tree would have confirmed your "diagnosis" 2. Taping the foot of a nylon (or some such) over one of the AC vents would have allowed her to see what was coming into the car. 3. If pollen, a solution: get a soft car brush to remove the pollen from the area under the windshield each morning and/or drive the first few minutes with the windows open while the AC is on so all the pollen can be blown out of the car.
Favorite Moment: Self-described "ethicial' Steve with a need to call you guys suggesting that he's "not so much" . . .
How Come?
by vln97217Why doesn't Car Talk say upfront that the show is a rebroadcast? "The Splendid Table" does it nicely. That way I don't spend the entire hour thinking to myself, "I swear I've heard this show before" instead of just enjoying the rebroadcast. Also, why the increase in repeats?
