Car Talk #1748: The Vanagon of the Sierra Madre
This week on the Best of Car Talk, Suzy is planning to driver her parents across Mexico in a rebuilt VW Vanagon.

Elsewhere, Kathy's Mercedes' wipers are so bad her kids have to lean out the window and play spotter whenever it rains; Biju can't stop falling asleep at 10:00 PM--at home or behind the wheel; and Ed learned he shouldn't try to change his car's fluids before his morning coffee. Also, Joann's Jeep has a leak, and so does Joann's professional ego because she runs a repair shop, and can't figu...

Car Talk #1721: Reality Often Astonishes Theory
That first story had me holding my side😂😂😂
The singing music at point 18:00 is terrible.
❤
Enjoy the brothers
I worked 3rd shift for 2 1/2 years in the early 2000s. I hated it, but listening to this on the way in on Sunday nights always made the drive so much less dismal.
These guys are the best
Is this for real help the VA families go to vehicle I don't even mind my car was stolen my identity has been stolen and I haven't been able to have a phone and 8 years and I've had 68 phones and no one seems to think it's important but I can't even talk to anybody my family has been able to from me because my landlord said no to them at the house and I can't get out of the house please help
My brother just took his pants off😂😂
Enjoy the brothers, a true treasure!
Enjoy the brothers & the snorting 😂
Bring VS. Take. One of my favorite intros. Short but sweet.
Love these guys!
I’m glad we now have RUclips and I can just play these guys whenever I want. Need to somehow get some permanent digital copies of these
God I miss this show. Thank you IMMENSELY for sharing the previous ones
I miss these guys ❤
Did they invent “here’s your sign?” Which blue comedy comedy used as well not sure who was first
I might have misunderstood wind chill for cars as well…. At least for how it affects them when it’s sitting
2025🎉still listening
Miss theze guyz!!
“Me understand “ not a one syllable word 😅
16:33 they will infact be back at 17:21 Do I miss the commercials over the silence?
Got out of a ticket once saying a wasn’t sure if my speedometer was calibrated so I asked him what I was doing to compare. He never did tell me how fast I was going
Dash also means to separate in grammar a - can be used to separate. And it’s part of the fire wall… so kinda works but yeah it’s from the wagons.
1, 14, 16, and 19 seems to work. Fourteen and 16 give you two… and every number can be figured out with multiples of 1,2,and 3. So really I think you just need one and two or one and 3 and you can pick any other two numbers. Or just 1 and any two numbers with 2 between them. I think there are many answers… any one agree? Or am I mistaken and can you explain it? Wish these guys were still around
25k… man I wish. What year was this again?

Ann from Albany with the good acoustic car was funny.
No one ever talks about the MAGMA!!!! 😆
Remember a choke? Electric cars ? Always think about a very long Electric cord.
Thanks for uploading these episodes! You guys are great 👍😃
Does anyone remember the call where the lady had dog food shooting out of her A/C vents?
Since you love the pretty girls (who doesn't? unless you are jelly), couldn't you two start some call in podcast thing that solicited single women's questions about car purchase and maintenance? To be fair and disclose, I lived in South Beach until 2021, and had a great Mercedes GLA bought by... anyway, it is a very funny story. Very Miami. Now I need a new car. No funny guys to ask my "how do I do this DIY car buying thing with these choices?" Just somewhere I can find some folks comfy giving advice.
Enjoy the brothers, miss em.

thank you for uploading these
I called the Car Talk telephone number ( in Decdmber 2024 ) and reached woman who said she could provide young women for pleasure.
