Description:


This week on Car Talk,




Terri's trying to convince her teenaged son not to buy himself
a 1960's muscle car.
Tom and Ray are ready to back her up with a trunk full of reasons
why he's more likely to meet girls if he's driving a 1986 Volvo
(with mis-matched hubcaps). But their efforts may all be undone
when they turn to Tom's son Alex to back them up.

Elsewhere, Deena's hoping a horn transplant will cause other drivers
to mistake her Chevy Nova for a diesel truck;

Thomas is wondering if his local Quickie Lube guy was just trying
to clean out his wallet when when he offered to
clean Thomas' fuel injectors;

and should Roe tell the friend who loaned her his Civic for three months
that she spent a good portion of that time driving with the parking brake on?

All this and more, this week on Car Talk
