For those who never tune to public radio, Tom and Ray Magliozzi answer listener calls about car
problems on their 10-year-old weekly NPR program, Car Talk. Aging boomers like their fans, they
speak like two Boston grease monkeys up on their Cliff's Notes (both are MIT grads), laugh heartily at
their own jokes and generally dispense more fun than auto repair lore. This cassette consists of
program snippets loosely dealing with romance behind the wheel. The brothers sound as delightfully
silly on tape as they do on the air; the callers just as tickled to be teased. Ovid and Ralph Nader, watch
out! Y.R. cAudioFile, Portland, Maine. | |

stronger-running, better-handling, and quicker-stopping muscle cars than 1960s engineers ever
dreamed possible, while still retaining a factory stock appearance. Muscle car expert Jason Scott
shows readers how to improve: suspension while disguising and concealing modern components;
engine performance by using internal modifications; brake systems with better pads and stainless steel
lines sheathed in rubber sleeves; cooling systems with modern coolants, aluminum radiators, and
transmission coolers; and sound systems featuring modern componentry which retains that "AM radio
with one speaker" look | |
