The Hatchback of Notre Dame includes many memorable Car Talk classics, including Morley Safer of CBS's Sixty Minutes, displaying a downright embarrassing obsession with his Peugeot, and space shuttle astronaut John Grunsfeld, who calls from Hawaii. (Well, 700 miles over Hawaii, actually). And, there's one of Click and Clack's all-time favorite callers, their pal Dave from Bemidji, sharing the sordid tale of his journey to Alaska.

From AudioFile
Those irrepressible hubcaps, Tom and Ray Magliozzi, comic heroes of NPR's wildly popular "Car Talk," offer a great and funny collection of "best calls" on their show. Interspersed with the brothers' witty repartee, this hatchback IS a bit of a Pinto in that it contains material found in another of their collections. But if you're a rabid fan and need to hear that call-in from a Space Shuttle astronaut, along with other familiar fare, buy away! Click and Clack will be happy to remind you that you've just wasted precious time and money. D.J.B. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

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...
