This week on The Best of Car Talk, is the phrase, "Yes, dear," the key to a happy marriage--even if it's delivered with a smirk? The saga of one of Ray's most annoying purchases helps illustrate.

Car Talk, Tommy vs Muir Woods, May 14, 2011, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
This week on Car Talk: You can lead a Magliozzi to nature, but you can't make him stop looking for a cappuccino stand, as Tom and Ray offer vastly differing recollections of their foray to the Muir Woods. Happily, they'll carve out a few seconds to tell Colleen why her truck is melting air filters. Meanwhile, Dan in Oregon may soon find his faith tested by his Civic's coolant "anomaly"; John in Michigan treats his Escort to a clutch and is rewarded with a new noise; and Jennifer in Seattle needs an exit strategy from hanging with her husband's new BFFs--the Miata Owners Club.

This week on Car Talk, Wendall's Bronco burst into flames and was burnt to crisp, right after a 200-mile drive. Was it electrical? Fuel? A spouse holding an insurance policy? Elsewhere, Barry is hoping to find true love by fixing his co-worker's windshield wipers, and avoiding her jealous boyfriend; Donna needs a gracious way to tell her husband his theories about keeping her gas tank full are "boooooguuss"; and Deborah's lurching efforts to learn to drive a stick shift aren't being made any easier by her Civic's loud whine. Also, on Stump the Chumps we find out if Farmer Ben's manure spreader helped get his truck running smoothly again. All this and more, this week on Car Talk.

Car Talk, The Flower and Blue Cheese Belvedere, April 7, 2012, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
This week on Car Talk, Chris' 1959 Belvedere has turned into a greenhouse and Fromagerie, courtesy of some poorly placed birdseed and a kid who thought it would be fun to hide four bricks of blue cheese in the vents. Can he kill the plants and smell without also taking himself out? Elsewhere, Jonathan's wife is blaming his speed-bump strategy for his Civic's alignment problems. His reaction to Tom and Ray's analysis? "I'm a dead man." Also, Jeannie's looking for validation that the guys telling her to use her emergency brake have their heads up their keisters; and Amy wants to give her husband a dope slap for fixing their Maxima's rack and pinion with nothing but a hammer. All this and lots more, this week on Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: April 7, 2012] Language: English. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/cart/120407/rt_cart_120407_sample.mp3.

This week on The Best of Car Talk Katie's roommate's pseudo-scientific explanation for getting her Civic's door stuck on a sidewalk struck her as bogus, so she's turning to two pseudo-MIT grads. Can Tom and Ray separate truth from bogosity? Elsewhere, Tim and Pam need a ruling on whether his joyride on a washboard road crushed her Saturn's engine mounts. Also, can Gene's Corolla survive 100,000 miles with a leaking fuel pump and axle seal, and a dope slap reminder to check both daily; Flo's Mazda has bad universal joints or jockey shorts that are too tight; and after two years of driving with a wobbling rear wheel has Keller's luck run out?

Car Talk, My Dog Hates You Too, May 24, 2014, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
We stopped tallying the hate mail we've received at Car Talk years ago. But one letter still remains on top of our pile of vituperative missives: this week's offering from one Melissa Peterson, a.k.a., "That Little Twerp." Maybe it was her need to let us know that her dog hates our show as much as she does. But Tom and Ray will soldier on, despite Melissa's wrath, and try to convince Gloria that shutting off her car while going 80 miles per hour is not a great way to address its acceleration problems. Elsewhere, Tracy wants to blame her mom for her Civic's electrical system going wacko; and Tammy is trying without success to convince her husband that Boston drivers aren't the worst in the world. And, can Evan find a car with a gas pedal that won't destroy his knee? [Broadcast Date: May 24, 2014] Language: English. Narrator: Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi.

This week on The Best of Car Talk, Julia's worried that her Dad's attempt to replace the engine in Mom's Suburban might stress their marriage. Tom and Ray think it may make their bond stronger than ever, even if the car is destroyed. Elsewhere, Tim's Dodge Dart rolled into a lake and went for a full dive. The car has been retrieved, but will it ever run again and not smell like fish? Also, Karen's physicist husband has a bogus explanation for why her car is shaking; Kelley wants to fix her Civic's brakes herself; and, Stu's girlfriend Carla accidentally added engine oil to his beloved ZX's power steering. So why are Tom and Ray asking Carla if she wants to dump Stu. All this, plus a round of Stump the Chumps, and more, this week on The Best of Car Talk. Language: English.

The Best of Car Talk (USA), Your Wife or a Cigar, April 30, 2016, Hörbuch, Digital, 54min
This week on The Best of Car Talk, Tom and Ray demonstrate their unmatched ability to plant all four feet firmly in their mouths and endanger their marriages - all while diagnosing a simple vacuum leak. Later, however, they just might make amends by helping to save Beth's marriage, with a ruling on whether her Civic's clutch should be more afraid of Beth or her husband. Elsewhere, Susan is a philosophy professor by day, and a pig rescuer by night. Is there one vehicle that can handle both lifestyles, or does she need a dedicated Pigmobile? Also, Jackie's squealing brakes are wreaking havoc for her pet Chihuahuas; and Daniel got a very unpleasant surprise when his mechanic removed his distributor cap - think Vincent Price in "The Fly." All this and more, this week on The Best of Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: April 30, 2016] Language: English. Narrator: Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi.

Will Tom and Ray help bring peace, or will Grant's next appearance be on Divorce Court? Elsewhere, Mark decided to replace his working transmission, and has now gone through six failed rebuilds in six months. Does this earn him an equal number of dope slaps? Also, Mabel's Subaru is leaking oil from every orifice; Tulis' mechanic may be relying too much on prisms and crystals trying to fix her Civic's brakes; and, is Jessica car shocking her because of her clothes, her hair, or its ugly upholstery?
