If you try to drive while listening this you will surely laugh yourself right off the road!

These are the best stories told by the best in the car business.

I guess you either love these guys or you hate them. My wife finds them incredibly annoying when she hears them on the radio.

Myself, I love them. Their accents are not off-putting to me, and I love how they laugh together.

What I've learned over time, though, is that the 'straight' answers they provide are actually pretty authoritative. They actually know what they're talking about, based not only on their extensive formal education but also based on their hands-on work with many, many cars.

If I personally found anything annoying, it's only their constant self-referencing which gets old. However, it's a part of their "shtick" which we would not want to do without...

if you like the tappet brothers and their show, you've got to get this. i wish they offered this in electronic format (mp3, wma, aac, whatever) to make this easier to use on modern day devices. the stories are a lot of fun and it's great the way they segway into these stories. i got them for a long road trip and the miles/times just vanished. we ended up listening to the CD three times during the road trip!

look forward to more from them.

Car Talk: The Greatest Stories Ever Told: Once Upon a Car Fire... (Car Talk) I've fogotten how to listen to my radio(s) because they make me mad when I can't find a clear station or a certain station. So I don't hear Car Talk often enough in real time. I have been buying books to read to myself (but bothering others) by bursting into sharp and loud laughter, or with CD's in the car where I can laugh and laugh all alone. I connect with your family because ours is much the same except we don't laugh much anymore. I FORGOT HOW TO DO IT! Thanks for reminding me, guys!

I thought it would be about people's car problems but instead it was about the mean things that they did to each other growing up. That and a lot of annoying cackling laughter. Very disapoointed!
