On this, Tom's 75th birthday, a flashback to our older co-host's defining moment in life.
Tom's wife ran over a tree limb (no, not that Tom!) after it fell off a truck right in front of her. The car was undamaged except for the black plastic part under the front bumper, which had to be removed. Tom's question: what the heck was that thing, and is it important? Find out what the brothers Magliozzi have to say on the subject of chin spoilers, right here.
Richard's son drives too fast. With speeding tickets, fast starts and sudden braking, Richard is worried that he may be doing permanent damage to the car. Tom and Ray agree, but will they help him out? After all, they need customers like Richard's son--how else could mechanics make their boat payments each month?

Twice a week, Tom and Ray take your questions in their nationally-syndicated newspaper column. Carried by over 300 papers around the country, Click and Clack's award-winning column is available online only via the Car Talk web site.
