Car Talk #1725: Blame It on Bernoulli
This week on The Best of Car Talk, Katie's roommate's pseudo-scientific explanation for getting her Civic's door stuck on a sidewalk struck her as bogus, so she's turning to two pseudo MIT grads.

Also, can Gene's Corolla survive 100,000 miles with a leaking fuel pump and axle seal, and a dope slap reminder to check both daily; Flo's Mazda has bad universal joints or jockey shorts that are too tight; and after two years of driving with a wobbling rear wheel has Keller's luck run out? All this a...

Relating to the bird story, birds do not have an anal sphincter like most animals do. Most animals can choose when to “release their load.“ So Ray is partially correct here when he says that it’s involuntary. As the birds’ GI track concentrates urea, another name for bird poop, it automatically comes out. Thank God we humans don’t have that problem. Well, at least not most of us.
Suck a sock!
Just leave the door panel off. Then you can get your hand in there and adjust EVERYTHING.
Bernoulli! Lol.
Anybody who has a 1948 Buick convertible is not going to donate it! I wish I could post a photo of my 1951 Buick Roadmaster.

Thanks for uploading these.
I hate Npr but these guys were great.
hear me out "Car talk Re-Fix" Because we need a reboot.
I know next to nothing about cars but I listened to these two great, super intelligent men for years. I put this episode on and cracked up all the way thru. As for humor, few comedians can touch these natural born funny guys. God I miss them. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
These guys were so uplifting. I hope they are well 😊
SATURDAY ON CAR TALK.
It’s funny that a goofy radio show coming to an end could affect your life so much. You will never know how much joy, pleasure and knowledge you two gave us. We are forever in your debt. Anytime a car topic comes up, you guys come to mind. Damn I miss your show!
Same here in 2024
Thank You for this. It brings back awesome memories. Thank You.
Enjoy the brothers
Npr is a liberal bastion. But these two guys were the best.
