This week on Car Talk, John in Massachusetts is concerned because his Accord's hood seems a little down, literally. It's sagging in the middle. Can Tom and Ray offer an explanation that doesn't send the bogosity meter off the charts?
Other items of concern: Sandra fears for her engine's life after she accidentally put five gallons of diesel in the tank, and Natalie fears for her own life, after putting a large dent in dad's Chevy Venture while he was away.
Also, a question from the Auto-Ethics Department: should you tip the guy who pumps your gas at a full-service station? All this, plus a Puzzler from the Rising Floodwaters series, and lots more, this week on Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: January 8, 2011]
