TOM: Yes. I got this one right away. Didn't I?
RAY: You did. And his car hit the tow truck.
TOM: That was dragging his car.
RAY: Well, he had broken down. He had called the tow truck to tow his car. The guy hooked it up. He pulled away and, immediately, his car fell off the tow truck because he had hooked it up incorrectly. The driver --
TOM: Of course hits the brakes.
RAY: -- with our passenger, with Mark sitting in the passenger seat, slams on the brakes. The Toyota comes from behind and smashes into the tow truck, does a couple of thousand dollars worth of damage which the tow truck's insurance company had to pay for.
TOM: Very, very good.
RAY: I thought it was pretty --
TOM: I think you could have --
RAY: -- sneaky.
TOM: I have to say there were so many opportunities to truly obfuscate this thing.
RAY: Really?
TOM: And you --
RAY: I fell down on the job?
TOM: Well, I, something's happened. You may have had some kind of an (opinion/epiphany?) and you know that the evil that men do --
RAY: I di --
TOM: -- is in the obfuscation that --
RAY: Yeah.
TOM: -- they give to these puzzlers. And you, you've made this --
RAY: From now on, it's the straight and narrow for me.
TOM: I mean, for even the question. What kind of vehicle did his car strike? That --
RAY: That was a hint right there.
TOM: Ha! There's a hint right there.
RAY: Yeah. Oh, boy. Well, I'll do better from now on. Anyway, do we have a winner?
TOM: Our winner this week is Peggy Ratts from Pacific, Missouri. And for having her answer selected at random from among all the correct answers that we got, Peggy's going to get a $25 gift certificate to the Shameless Commerce Division at the Car Talk section of Cars.com with which she can get her very own copy of our CD, "Car Talk, Car Tunes" which, by the way, is a million seller. Means we got a million of them in my brother's cellar.[ Car Talk Puzzler ]
