The Best of Car Talk

This should be used as training material for root-cause analysts and 5-why questioning. I as amazed how their effective questioning was on callers issues.

Blocked ventilation outlets causing water to build up behind the dash, setting fire to the car is the only reasonable solution for Madagascar cockroaches intended as a birthday gift that are now infesting a BMW X5, fixing your car yourself in front of the dealer on a Sunday so that you won't have to tow it there on Monday if your efforts fail .... Nobody in their right mind would come up with these situations except for Tommy and Ray and the people calling in. I love it !

I got hooked into CarTalk when I lived in the Big Easy, and it became a ritual to waste a perfectly good hour every weekend. Then when I jumped the pond and moved to The Netherlands, it was very sad not to have car talk on the radio, though I managed through with listening to the programme from their website. Then I made it a ritual to do the laundry while listening to the programme, thereby making a tedious task more entertaining. Beware: It is an addictive programme, but it sure is one of the most entertaining ways to spend an hour every week! I'm very glad to be able to take the programme with me with on my ipod. I have been eagerly awaiting this moment, and now it finally arrived. Hurray!
