Driving cross-country on a weekend, the best thing that can happen was coming across Car Talk on some NPR station. When it was over I'd grudgingly listen to Prairie Home Companion, switching away whenever I got overly strong douche-chills from the musical acts or the sex pest whistling on the letter 's'.

Luxrage posted:I'll never forget the best car talk moment I ever heard on the radio: A caller had called in about her car running low on oil on the way home and throwing a bunch of warning lights. Instead of stopping the car when it happened she had made it all the way home while the car was making all sorts of horrible noises. During the call she offers to start the car and you can hear over the garbled phone static the car's engine basically grenade itself. I just remember Ray going "You might want to sit down for this prognosis" and Tom laughing his rear end off while this poor person murders their car on air. I still quote their answer to the question "How far can I drive when the oil light comes on?" "All the way to the side of the road."
