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...

    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

    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.
