    #2476: Houston, We Have a Problem!

    When John called us from '200 miles north of Hawaii'' it took Click and Clack a minute to realize he meant 200 miles 'straight up'.

    #2475: Men Before GPS

    It used to be that the biggest obstacle to getting where you were going wasn't a poorly built or maintained car -it was the guy behind the wheel. Men famously hated asking for directions, preferring instead to try and read a paper map with one eye while keeping the other eye on the road, sort of.

    #2473: The Brains in Maine

    Theresa from Maine has a problem with her car sliding all over the road when she's braking. You'd think that would grab Click and Clack's attention, but you'd be wrong. They would rather use the time to muse on the relative insanity of all of their New England neighbors to the north on this episode of the Best of Car Talk.Get access to hundreds of episodes in the Car Talk archive when you sign up for Car Talk+ at plus.npr.org/cartalk Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices NPR Privacy Policy

    #2472: Rover and Over

    Veronica's hubby wants to buy an old Land Rover for riding through the jungles of... greater Boston. Click and Clack explain that, while on the surface this idea seems illogical, ill-conceived and expensive, it's actually much worse than that.

    #2471: Put a Sock in it

    While doing some maintenance on his Mercury, Bob from Washington used one of his athletic socks to keep things from falling into the car's manifold. After finishing up he took the car for a spin on the highway until he heard a horrible noise and the car died.
