What's New at Car Talk Plaza?

Car Talk's home on the Internet, that's what!

 

And we wanted you to be the very first to know about it. In the last few hours, we've launched a whole new design for our web site.

 

We think of you, our fellow Car Talk sufferers, as part of our extended family. Together, over the years, we've endured no shortage of dubious answers, Ray's booogus puzzlers, Tommy's philosophical meanderings and more than a few whacko callers. ("Doesn't anybody screen these calls?")

 

And cartalk.com? That's our home, where we can all meet, hang out, share our thoughts, hear the latest from our two lousy hosts, and generally kill plenty of time, strenuously avoiding work.

 

After ten years of wear and tear, we decided it was time to rip it down to the studs and rebuild it. And that's just what we've done.

 

The new Car Talk web design features a variety of updates, including...

  • Easier access to the weekly show, from a pull-down right on our homepage.
  • More intuitive navigation.
  • Cool, new menus from our pals at cars.com.
  • Less text, and more of the fun, Car Talk graphics we all enjoy. 

And, of course, we couldn't announce a new model, without a fresh, new look, right? So, our light-starved designers got to work.

 

We think the results are impressive. We hope you like it, too. (Let us know what you think, won't you?)

 

A word of thanks. We could not have done it without you. We asked our Time Kill Weekly subscribers to take an early look for us. And, over the past few weeks, we've received many hundreds of comments, suggestions and fixes.

 

We hope you'll continue to drop by, and waste some time, with Tom, Ray and the rest of us here at Car Talk Plaza.

 

And, with that, I am pleased to announce the doors are wide open, to our newly redesigned home on the Internet. Come on in, put your feet up on the table, leave the toilet seat down if you want (we don't care), and join us for more months and years of somewhat useful, time-killing fun here.

 

See you there,

Lame Joke
P.S. Here's this week's Lame Joke of the Week, from Max Bowman:

Ole and Lena were sitting down to their usual cup of morning coffee listening to the weather report coming over the radio.  "There will be three to five inches of snow today and a snow emergency has been declared.  You must park your cars on the odd-numbered side of the street."

Ole got up from his coffee and replies, "Jeez, OK."

Two days later, again they both are sitting down with their cups of morning coffee and the weather forecast is, "There will be two to four inches of snow today and a snow emergency has been declared.  You must park your cars on the even-numbered side of the street."

Ole got up from his coffee and replies, "Jeez, OK."

Three days later, again they both are sitting down with their cups of coffee and the weather forecast is, "There will be six to eight inches of snow today and a snow emergency has been declared.  You must park your cars on the ..." and then the power went out and Ole didn't get the rest of the instructions.  He says to Lena, "Jeez, what am I going to do now, Lena?"Lena replies, "Aw, Ole, just leave the car in the garage."
