Move over Shakespeare! Tom and Ray present: ASK CLICK AND CLACK: ANSWERS FROM CAR TALK. OK, so we're more in the Dr. Seuss category... but still, we have a new book out!

 

Just what is ASK CLICK AND CLACK? It's a collection of our favorite 100 questions and answers, from nearly 20 years of writing our nationally syndicated newspaper column.

 

So... what kinds of questions get answered?

 

Here are few examples:

 

Should you get an extended warranty? Is nitrogen in your tires the latest scam designed to lighten your wallet, or the best investment since sweet crude futures? What maintenance work can save you the most money? What can you skip?

 

 

This new book from Car Talk Plaza could actually save you a boat payment -- or more -- the next time you step into your local garage waiting room.  But, don't tell your local mechanic. We're already in enough trouble the way it is.

 

We're looking to make ASK CLICK AND CLACK a best-seller on the prestigious Vinny Goombatz's Wrench Spinners Book Emporium List. That won't be easy. To get there, we're going to need your help. Please, buy all the copies your credit card will allow.  And remember, those you don't read make excellent table shims.

 

 

Want to know more about the book? Read our Q&A with Tom and Ray, and our chat with the fine folks at Chronicle Publishing. Find out just what kind of brain rot infected their otherwise stellar corporate thinking in order to team up with Car Talk Plaza. It's all right here.

 

If you'll excuse us now, we've got to stuff envelopes with cash and courier them off to the Pulitzer Nominating Committee.

 

By the way, interested in the movie rights?  Have your people call our people.

 

Cordially,

P.S. Here's this week's Lame Joke of the Week, courtesy of Tom Hunt:

Two old guys are pushing their carts around Wal-Mart when they collide.

The first old guy says to the second guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

The second old guy says, "That's OK, it's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate."

The first old guy says, "Well, maybe I can help you find her. What does she look like?"

The second old guy says, "Well, she is 27 years old, tall, with red hair, blue eyes, long legs, and is wearing short shorts. What does your wife look like?"

To which the first old guy says, "Doesn't matter, --- let's look for yours."
