Catherine Lockshout: I have listened to your show for several years and your knowledge of cars is incredible. This coupled with your infectious laugh and witty repartee make the perfect show. By the way I am a middle aged women and not the sort of person who usually enjoys programs about gear boxes and the like!!
Favorite moment:Too many to mention
See all other reviews by Catherine Lockshout The Slovak: Ray stepped out on a limb today by calling on politicians and the Big 3 car makers to increase gas taxes and use the money to fund public rail transportation.
Favorite moment:Ray, thanks for your talk during this show about gas taxes and increasing fuel efficiency cars bust also adding that the Big 3 should begin building rail cars. I have been thinking about this for some time.

I was just listening to your show, as I do each week, and for once amongst the tips and jokes you actually made sense.
Others may berate you but you, but you are absolutely correct. A national gas tax is the right way to go and 50 cents a gallon is pretty small way to help provide funds for our transportation infrastructure. Good job and at least the wife of a crazy engineer is with you. Mrs. JD

Based on normal increases since then, we benefite the same as having about a 30 to 40 percent tax break on gasoline. We need it. It makes no sense to borrow for needed programs when the driving public has shown large increases in fuel cost does not shut the sysem down. Give real help to the system and pay for it NOW.

Best of all however, was Ray's commentary on the gas tax. It was worthy of a Sunday Morning political talk show - his proposal solves the Big Three collapse, infrastructure investment, dependence on foreign oil and global warming all at once. Incredible!
Favorite moment:Ray's commentary on increasing the gas tax. I decided to vote for President Elect Obama early last summer when he had the sense to refuse to endorse waiving the gas tax despite the rising cost of fuel. He showed his political courage and common sense that day while John McCain and Hillary Clinton proved to be political panderers by their willingness to let a few more bridges collapse just to get elected. Ray showed his stuff by daring spineless politicians to do the right thing and topped it off with a brilliant idea of challenging the big three to start rail transport divisions within their companies. Brilliant! Please post a transcript of this so I can spread it via Facebook, Twitter, my blog and other social networks. The world must hear this message.

It's not only going to slow the progress of diesel usage in this country, but is an unfair tax on business. It's cheaper to produce than gasoline and it's cost at the pump should reflect that. Otherwise I feel this is the time to tax gasoline and hope you get lots of positive response to your rare venture into the political arena. Good luck with a good concept.

See all other reviews by davidschade JoshW: The caller mentioned that the sound came from the windshield/dash area. I have a 2003 Honda Element. My windshield was under the same recall (because small impacts cause starburst fractures every time) but was unable to take advantage of recall because I was overseas (with my car).
That said, I have same sound problem. I locate the sound more in the dash than the windshield and if I reach over to the glove compartment and pull on it or otherwise push on the passenger side dash, the sound stops. Sound comes back if I release pressure. Don't think it's the windshield...?
