A brand-spanking-new CD set, that's what. Four CDs, no less!
When Tom and Ray take a call and say, "Hello, you're on Car Talk," the fact is none of us ever quite knows what's going to happen. Every now and
then--and we've shared many of these moments together, right alongside you-- there's a downright whacko on the other end.
Well, we've selected four shows containing some charter members of the Car Talk Whacko Hall of Fame, and compiled them into a new CD set called, The
Car Talk Field Guide to the North American Whacko!
That's right. They're baaack - including:
- Christy, who's wondering what the statute of limitations is on destroying her dad's car.
- Dave from Bemiji, who relied on a rusty barbeque grill, and a crescent wrench with no sockets to get
his Chevy Cavalier home from Alaska.
- Dinesh, who's preparing for a delightful summer vacation--strolling across Death Valley.
- Adrienne, who decided the perfect birthday present for her husband would be 600 pounds of rocks,
transported via her Saab.
- John, the keeper of the messiest car known to humankind, who's trying to figure out whether to hide the
evidence on a first date.
- the victim of Tanya the
Personal Trainer, a guy who winds up in so much pain, he has to bend
over to brush his teeth, because he can't lift the toothbrush.
You're the first to know about The Car Talk Field Guide to the North American Whacko, and you can grab a copy right now, right
here. It's four hours of off-kilter callers, so we advise you to listen in small doses. Or listen in a calm setting with close friends at hand,
lest you start thinking these folks represent reality.
In other news, our first undercover mission at Car Talk Plaza is now complete. Car Talk went under deep cover
to chat with an operative we call, "Deep Plaid."  For nearly 30 years, Deep Plaid worked as a car salesman. Now, he's sharing all the tricks of the
trade with us. Drop by and check out our chat with Deep Plaid -- you can even ask him a question in our Car Talk Community. It's all right here.
From nut jobs to undercover operatives, life's never dull here at Car Talk Plaza.
Yours in not blowing Frank's cover,

P.S. Here's our Lame Joke of the Week, courtesy of Brian Purnell:
Bob, a handsome dude, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 P.M. He sat down next to a blonde at the
bar and stared up at the T.V. The 10:00 P.M. news was coming on.
The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to
jump.
The blonde looked at Bob and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"
Bob says, "You know, I bet he'll jump."
The blonde replied, "Well, I bet he won't."
Bob placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, "You're on!" Just as the blonde placed her money on the
bar, the guy on the ledge
did a swan dive off the building, falling to his death.
The blonde was very upset, but willingly handed her $20 to Bob, saying, "Fair's fair. Here's your
money."
Bob replied, "I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5:00 P.M. news and so I knew he
would jump."
The blonde replied, "I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again."
Bob took the money.
