ooh don't even think of the nerd factor

So I drove Dan's truck around town this morning to do errands. Driving the truck means stereo instead of mono radio, and no 1970's VW engine to drown it out. It's pretty much like Christmas.

I happened to catch one of my favorite NPR shows, Car Talk. It's a weekly show where two brothers in Boston answer call-in questions about cars and driving. Callers often imitate the weird noises their cars make, and the brothers are usually able to figure it out. It's funny. And you get good advice too. Like that it's cheaper to replace your brakes than your clutch, so you shouldn't down shift as you come up to a red light. Guess who stopped doing that right away.

Click and Clack är vansinnigt roliga!! Älskar att lyssna på dem då vi åker bil, vi skrattar så vi tjuter! Det bästa är när de ger råd om samliv, fast genom bilsnack.

Det var första gången på länge jag hörde dem, hade glömt hur roliga de är!
