This week on The Best of Car Talk, Michelle’s husband paid $170 for her dream car, and she thinks he may have overpaid. It’s just missing a few things, such as the rear windshield, the gas cap, chunks of the floor…and we haven’t even gotten to all the problems under hood. Fortunately, Michelle is talking to a guy who can appreciate junk, and Tommy is as excited as her husband about this dream turned nightmare. Elsewhere, Mary discovered how big a rock it would take to kill her lawn mower; Matt is looking for music recommendation to drown out his Civic’s brake noise; and can Tom and Ray convince Andrea the noise she thinks is coming from the dashboard is actually originating 3 feet away; and our on-call Physicist Wolfgang helps ease Ray’s gastrointestinal distress. All this and lot more, this week on The Best of Car Talk.
