Car Talk Classics: No Factory Recalls. So Far.
There may be an occasional flaw in the auto expert advice of brothers Tom and Ray Maggliozzi, but the complaint box remains empty, with no factory recall in sight. The next entry in the ever popular Car Talk Classics series features four all time favorite Car Talk episodes, hand-picked by host Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers, and presented here together for the first time. Car Talk continues to be one of public radio's most popular and laugh-inducing programs, with a weekly audience of four million listeners. Car Talk, winner of a Peabody Award, is broadcast each week to NPR stations nationwide. The world's wackiest call-in show, it mixes automotive advice with wisecracks, roadside philosophy, and guffaws. No problem is too ridiculous, no solution to absurd, and before you know it, 'you've wasted another perfectly good hour listening to Car Talk.' Or, in this case, four.

Car Talk: 25 Years of Lousy Car Advice
In 1987, Tom and Ray Magliozzi, also known as Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers, made the leap from nursing the motley car population of New England to creating the nationally beloved public radio phenomenon that we all know as Car Talk. The advice may be a little suspect, and the memories in desperate need of a tune-up, but the laughs are genuine as Click and Clack look back on an illustrious-if not industrious-25 years of delighting NPR audiences with their wit, wisdom, and occasionally relevant musings on the maintenance of cars. Lovingly compiled by the long-suffering lackeys at Car Talk Plaza, this collection represents the most memorable, most hilarious moments from the show’s vast archives.

Car Talk Classics: The Pinkwater Files
The hands-down highlight of many a Car Talk episode, Daniel Pinkwater is responsible for some of the all-time greatest moments of the program’s storied history on public radio. Whether discussing man’s best friend (but worst passenger) or searching for the perfect vehicle for those who are “horizontally challenged,” Pinkwater keeps Tom and Ray in stitches, along with the show’s far-flung audience. The latest time-wasting Car Talk collection features the official designation of the Pinkwater seating standard, the strange case of the motorhead boyfriend, the presentation of the first Car Talk Peace Prize, Stump the Chumps, a puzzler from the Lying Used Car Salesman series, a stirring recitation from a BMW owner’s manual, a discussion of puking pooches, and more. It’s four perfectly good hours of laughter and conversation.

Car Talk: Tales of the Brothers Grime
The Brothers Grimm told tales that in their original, unedited form were strange, sometimes rambling, and of dubious moral integrity-in other words, they're the perfect model for our Brothers Grime, the Tappet Brothers. America's favorite auto mechanics share reminiscences, rants, and hate mail in another time-wasting yet genuinely useful collection of highlights from their long-running radio show.So one day the guys were at a restaurant enjoying a cake someone delivered to their table. On their way out, they realized their mistake: It wasn't their cake after all. It was Grammy's birthday cake, bound for a party at a nearby table. They apologized later on the air.Tom and Ray lead colorful (not to mention grimy) lives, and each week they share the hilarity with millions of radio listeners. Their latest collection will delight diehard fans and anyone who cares about cars and good humor. Along with the usual dose of belly laughs, it includes Tommy's memories of his misadventures in the US Army, stories from the guys about their beloved pal Vito, and the debut performance of the Click and Clack Barbershop Quartet Minus Two singing "Goodbye My Coney Island Baby." That the debut was also the farewell performance is no coincidence.

Car Talk Field Guide to the North American Wacko
A radio road trip across America featuring the wackiest calls from the nuttiest specimens ever to phone the show. A high point of every Car Talk show is the call-in segment, when listeners phone in for advice and regale hosts Click and Clack with tales of their own automotive misadventures. Like Dave from Bemidji, Minnesota, who drives his Chevy Cavalier home from Alaska when it already has 350,000 miles on the odometer. And Dinesh, who strolls across Death Valley. Rather than worry about buzzards, he's concerned about how his car will hold up in the heat. Christy wants to know if she fried her dad's Citation. Adrienne frets that a load of rocks might crush her Saab. Single guy John wonders if he should tidy up his car for a first date or reveal its trashy self. And when Ann's husband travels from Georgia to Florida to get his vasectomy reversed, Ann drives like a banshee to bring him back home. Ever since, their Caravan makes strange grinding noises. It seems that lunatics aren't confined to Car Talk Plaza. They're everywhere, and they're dialing the phone. Four hilarious radio shows celebrate the land of the free, home of the wacko.

Car Talk Classics: Four Perfectly Good Hours
Four all-time favorite episodes from the popular radio show-complete, unexpurgated, and hilarious. Click and Clack may be America's most trusted car repair experts. They are certainly the funniest, as millions of listeners who tune in each week to Car Talk can attest. As each show unfolds, it develops its own zany feeling and rhythm, sometimes due to the strength of the coffee or a particularly large burr in Tommy's undershorts. This Car Talk set is for fans who want to waste another four perfectly good hours. Rather than a 'best of' collection, it's four complete shows-every call, every joke, every 'Don't drive like my brother' admonition, every puzzler, every punny mention of a fictional show staff member (chauffeur Picov Andropov, night club manager Don Kashane), and every maniacal laugh. The four shows include the 2002 Mother's Day extravaganza with Click and Clack's long-suffering mom, and 'You Can't Do It Unless the Number Is Two' from February 2001, the show that gave birth to a new Car Talk mantra and exposed Tommy's radical views on education (like, it should end after seventh grade).

Car Talk: The Greatest Stories Ever Told: Once Upon a Car Fire . . .
You decide to waste another perfectly good hour getting bogus car advice from the Car Talk guys when what should happen but some remark from the caller launches either Tom or Ray off topic and onto a story about The Sleek Black Beauty, their most recent wife, or their days at MIT.

Car Talk: Doesn't Anyone Screen These Calls?: Calls About Animals and Cars
The guys share some of their favorite calls about the world where cars and animals meet. Luckily, it's not dog-eat-dog, but sometimes it's horse-eat-steering-wheel. Tom and Ray Magliozzi are America's foremost auto mechanics. So usually people phone in to their radio show with questions about cars-buying them, driving them, keeping them running. But every so often, out of the blue, Click and Clack are also called on to be amateur veterinary psychologists. They're asked to figure out why a horse has eaten a steering wheel, or why a 100-pound dog insists on riding on the roof of a pickup truck, or how a white rat the size of a two-liter Coke bottle got into a poor young woman's Chevy. And while they might not know the answer, they always come up with something. This is a collection of calls about cars, animals, and the mysterious, often hilarious times when they meet. It leads Tom and Ray down a familiar path-of wild speculation, occasional brilliant suggestions, and lots of laughs. This is a must-have for anyone who loves animals, particularly the two that host Car Talk.

Car Talk: Born Not to Run: More Disrespectful Car Songs
Born Not to Run is a collection of car tunes as irreverent as they are melodic. With titles like, 'If She Wasn't On Blocks,' Who Taught These Idiots To Drive,' and 'Built to Crash,' we guarantee that you'll be simultaneously tapping your toes, laughing out loud and shaking your head. For these reasons, we ask that you not listen to Born Not to Run and drive at the same time. More fun from Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers.

Car Talk: The Hatchback of Notre Dame: More Car Talk Classics
The Hatchback of Notre Dame includes many memorable Car Talk classics, including Morley Safer of CBS's Sixty Minutes, displaying a downright embarrassing obsession with his Peugeot, and space shuttle astronaut John Grunsfeld, who calls from Hawaii. (Well, 700 miles over Hawaii, actually). And, there's one of Click and Clack's all-time favorite callers, their pal Dave from Bemidji, sharing the sordid tale of his journey to Alaska.
