A Court Fine
Under Tom and Ray's influence, one driver takes the law into his own hands.
#0534: Don't Drive Like Tommy
Original Air Date: 08.20.2005
Description:
In this week’s Car Talk, bad advice comes back to haunt Tom and Ray (again!). Inspired by Car Talk's "Drive Now, Talk Later" cell-phone campaign, one listener takes a heroic stand – with a less-than-stellar outcome. Bob finds himself on the wrong side of the law when he tests Tommy’s theory about the EZ-pass lane. Want to get a few more miles out of your jalopy? Try some maple syrup in the gas tank! That’s just one of many dubious tips you’ll hear in this week’s show.
