Car Talk: Doesn't Anyone Screen These Calls?

Calls About Animals and Cars

By: Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi

Narrated by: Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi

Tom and Ray Magliozzi are America's foremost auto mechanics. Usually people phone in to their radio show with questions about cars - buying them, driving them, keeping them running. But every so often, out of the blue, Click and Clack are also called on to be amateur veterinary psychologists. They're asked to figure out why a horse has eaten a steering wheel or why a 100-pound dog insists on riding on the roof of a pickup truck or how a white rat the size of a two-liter Coke bottle got into a poor young woman's Chevy. And while they might not know the answer, they always come up with something.

This is a collection of calls about cars, animals, and the mysterious, often hilarious times when they meet. It leads Tom and Ray down a familiar path of wild speculation, occasionally brilliant suggestions, and lots of laughs. This is a must-have for anyone who loves animals, particularly the two that host Car Talk.
