CAR TALK: 25 YEARS OF LOUSY CAR ADVICE

Listeners won't get "Car Talk's" signature "lousy car advice" from these selections of the NPR staple--in fact, they won't be getting much advice at all. The clips seem chosen more for their comedy value, and five go by before there's even a hint of useful information. The Magliozzi brothers spend a lot of time laughing at their own--and each other's--remarks. It's infectious laughter though, and listeners are likely to laugh along with them. The brothers are their funniest when intervening in the dating or familial relationships of their callers. Other topics include kids' views on marriage, bad-hair days, and practical jokes between the brothers. This is probably not the definitive collection, but fans will laugh out loud.
