@adhdeanasl @lisamelton Did you know:
In 2025 Ray Magliozzi began answering questions on a version of Car Talk called Car Talk+.The new Car Talk+ feature allows listeners to speak directly with Ray once more, as he says, “Whenever I can fit it in between my yoga classes, Mahjong games, and mechanics’ romance book club meetings.”

Palate cleanser.
People talk about the Ford Pinto or AMC Gremlin as if they were the worst cars of the 1970s, but turds like the Lincoln Versailles were worse, IMO.

listening to old NPR #CarTalk episodes, and oh lord, it’s so wholesome. The poor guy who accidentally left a sock in the engine intake manifold during an injector change, and then drove the car without removing it. The discussion travels to whether it’s a cotton, or nylon blend, and just letting it burn out.
“I’m worried about what it’ll do to my catalytic converter”
“HAHAHAHAHAHA you don’t have one” (any more). -

Almost 50% of cars sold in #SouthAfrica still have manual gearboxes, says Gadget:

Only 50%? I'd have thought it'd be a lot higher. I've only ever met maybe 3 people who own cars with automatic gearboxes.
People say they're just too expensive (both to purchase and to maintain), they're too difficult/scary to learn, people are worried they'll keep accidentally hitting the brake when they mean to hit the clutch... and people don't trust automatic things to change gears; they say that's a human decision.
Just some of the reasons I've heard against automatic cars. People just seem to really dislike them, or even the very idea of them.
At least, the people I've spoken to.
If you drive a car in South Africa, is it an automatic or a manual?
(If you're not in South Africa, or you don't drive, please don't vote 😜)

I cannot understate my love of the dashboard controls on the Ineos Grenadier. This is a car made in 2024. It’s wonderfully mechanical.
Not ready to give up the reliability of my 200 Series Land Cruiser, but man, I love that they’re leaning into old school.
And yes, an EV-version is on the way.

Half way home the truck threw a belt. Limped to a Ford dealership. Hoping it can be fixed in an hour or two and we can get back on the road. #CarTalk

Recently on The Best of Car Talk was one of the funniest segments I ever heard. Start listening to Joel from Bexley at 16:10. https://www.npr.org/2023/08/31/1197070135/-2376-whats-cookin-at-the-roadkill-cafe
I miss Click and Clack, they were great.

OK, so I know there are sociological data indicating that people with more expensive cars are generally less considerate drivers. Is there information about Tesla owners specifically? I thought they were supposed to be kind of chill because they are motivated by the supposed environmental / eco aspect of their Tesla? Continued…

Who remembers “A Piece of the Action” ? Star Trek. Kirk & Spock try to drive a vintage gas roadster ! #StarTrek #cartalk -
How about some #cartalk? Let's see your #rides! Here are mine!
The #Volkswagen Bug is a 1969 model. My parents bought her brand new in Jan 1969, and I got the pink slip when I graduated from high school.
The yellow #dunebuggy is an #EMPI #Imp model from 1970. It is built on a 1966 Bug floorpan with a 1962 Bug 1192cc 40hp engine.
I'd love to hear from any other #VW owners or enthusiasts.
