From AudioFile

What do mothers and auto mechanics have in common? On this sixth collection of the best calls to "Car Talk," the popular NPR weekly show, Tom and Ray Magliozzi, often with the help of their own mother, attempt to settle domestic clashes involving strange smells, car choices, and driving lessons. The brothers are naturals in front of the microphone, with their comedic timing, their raspy Boston accents, and their outrageous laughs. The calls, coming from a decade of shows, are woven into a unified laugh-out-loud whole as Tom and Ray lead us from call to call--from Heidi, who wants a Mazda Miata and can't face the fact that what she really needs is a minivan; to Nancy, who can't trust her 27-year-old daughter to rotate her tires; and Terri, who needs to talk her 16-year-old son out of buying a "muscle car." For its addictive and side-splitting effects, these excerpts from "Car Talk" ought to come with a warning label. S.E.S. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars Fans and newcomers of CAR TALK won't be disappointed, June 11, 2005
This review is from: Car Talk: Maternal Combustion: Calls About Moms and Cars (Audio CD)
The Magliozzi brothers (a.k.a. the Tappet Brothers) here answer calls about and from mothers, giving funny advice on cars in their latest issue Car Talk: Maternal Combustion. In case you don't know them or their show, the brothers narrate the award-winning 'Car Talk' radio broadcast weekly on National Public Radio stations across the nation, accepting call-in questions addressed with a heavy dose of humor. Fans and newcomers of CAR TALK won't be disappointed in the one hour program of hilarity offered on Maternal Combustion: Calls About Moms And Cars.

5.0 out of 5 stars If You Love Car Talk, February 20, 2008
This review is from: Car Talk: Maternal Combustion: Calls About Moms and Cars (Audio CD)
How could this show be so funny? Maybe it's because they laugh at their own jokes, or that while they're highly trained and educated engineers, they know just about as much about cars at the next guy. Short on actual information, you'll howl at some of the reactions to people's calls.
