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.

From AudioFile
Ever wacky, ever off-the-cuff, the Magliozzi brothers, hosts of the popular NPR program "Car Talk," present their favorite call-in tales and personal anecdotes from their show. It's hard to believe that these are the GREATEST stories and not just another installment in an excellent series of comedy radio moments from the two Massachusetts mechanics (who also hold multiple science degrees). Whether it's dealing with a caller's "melted stick of butter on the dashboard" or other assorted automobile nightmares, bizarre events, and mishaps, "Click and Clack," as they call themselves, provide a warm and funny listen filled with their trademark self-deprecating humor. Plus a bit of advice! D.J.B. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Tom and Ray's Best Stories
I guess you either love these guys or you hate them. My wife finds them incredibly annoying when she hears them on the radio.

Myself, I love them. Their accents are not off-putting to me, and I love how they laugh together.

What I've learned over time, though, is that the 'straight' answers they provide are actually pretty authoritative. They actually know what they're talking about, based not only on their extensive formal education but also based on their hands-on work with many, many cars.

If I personally found anything annoying, it's only their constant self-referencing which gets old. However, it's a part of their "shtick" which we would not want to do without...
