Car Talk #1720: The Unmotivated
Slackers of the world, unite! Ah, never mind, that's probably too much effort. But this week The Best of Car Talk pays tribute to those dedicated to avoiding the rat race. In matters automotive, Liz's husband really wants to celebrate the end of his medical residency by buying a used Porsche, but Liz is worried the repair bills will negate any salary increase he's about to receive; Julie is wondering if her Accord's electrical problems are related to the series of "encounters" (accidents) she's had; and Marc's gas mileage appeared to increase by 20 percent after he left the gas cap off. Should OPEC be worried? All this and more, this week on The Best of Car Talk.

Thanks for uploading full episodes and not the 30min watered down ones NPR does as podcasts.

I grew up with this, my Mom would roll her eyes whenever she would hear them on the radio when she got back to the car while Dad and I waited for her shopping! But then she would laugh!

Before the internet, CT was broadcast in my very remote European neck of the woods on Sundays 12:00 - 13:00 followed by Prairie Home Companion. 13:00 -15:00. I tuned in religiously every week for many years. Tommy and Ray had me in stitches without fail. I even learned a thing or two! Big thanks to NPR and YLE. Edit! Thank you for posting these!

Oh how I miss that New England accent from the Boston area! I made a living working for Raytheon which had facilities all around Boston. Shop Talk was the connection for me between where I lived in New Mexico and Massachusetts where I was born. What memories of these guys I have. Pure gold!!!

This is one of the realest episodes of car talk, I grew up listening to them and after my tech company had 8 layoffs last week out of 30 people and feeling the kindness of my 2 AAA tow truck drivers made me realize they’re paying $24 an hour and are hiring lololol

I got the puzzler right for the wrong reason, thought the number that the patron said was decreasing by one from the last number.

I wish you could also mention when it was aired

@NathanVanLa 10 ай бұрын

I wish they’d do this too. If you come across other videos using the #### format. The first 2 numbers indicate the year (ie. 17## = 2017) the second 2 numbers indicate which episode it was (ie. ##20 = 20th Episode/ 20th Saturday) so this episode was released on the 20th Saturday of 2017 or May 20th, 2017.

I have a 2014 Jeep Compass 4cyl standard transmission. I love it. When stopped on a hill I take my foot off the clutch and hit the gas fast to keep my car from rolling backward. I had driven this car for a week before I realized the car does not roll backward when the clutch is released. I know part of the braking system prevents the car from rolling back. What is this part called? I would really like to know. Thanks
