What's New at Car Talk Plaza?

We're bringing down the Internet just one more notch, that's what.

How's that? Well, we've just launched a Car Talk page on Facebook. That's right. The only thing more horrifying than listening to Tom and Ray's voices on NPR... is seeing their ugly mugs polluting yet another corner of the Internet.

 

If you're on Facebook, you can search and find Car Talk. We've added a few Car Talk photo albums, and other features. Then, you'll have to make the tough decision: Do you come out of the closet and admit to your friends that you listen to our lousy show? Only you can make that call.


While you're there, let us know what features you'd like to see in the months to come.

In other news, ever wonder what makes for a great customer? Drop by and hear what Tom and Ray have to say on the topic-- and share your suggestions -- in our feature, "How to Be a Great Customer." (Hint: Gold American Express? Excellent start!) It's all right here.

 

Want to join other discussions, going on now on the Car Talk web site? Here are our top three conversations of the day:

Of course, you can always post your own questions and get answers anytime in our Car Talk Community. We hope to see you there.

 

If you'll excuse me now, we have to convene a meeting to discuss whether to accept Tommy's friend invitation.

 

Yours in avoiding excessive on-line humiliation,

P.S. Here's this week's Lame Joke of the Week, courtesy of Dan Flaherty, in Marco Island, Florida:

A new monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He notices, however, that they are copying copies, not the original books. So, the new monk goes to the head monk to ask him about this. He points out that if there were an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies.

The head monk says "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son." So, he goes down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.

Hours later, nobody has seen him. So, one of the monks goes downstairs to look for him. He hears a sobbing coming from the back of the cellar, and finds the old monk leaning over one of the original books crying. He asks what's wrong.

The old monk sobs, "The word is celebrate."
