Hell, I like Volvos and this one is in great shape. But just not feeling the love to the tune of $15,000. It’s an anonymous white box. A reluctant No Dice.

in 1995, driving a 1984 Saab 900 on I-90 east of Cleveland in a heavy lake effect storm. Car up and dies. After an adventure that incudes walking a mile in a blizzard on an interstate, spend the night trying to diagnose it in the parking lot of a dive motel. Finally give up, rent a U-haul and a trailer the next…

Congrats on being the only person ever to have a broken A/C system that just needed a refill

And I came here waiting for a coment waiting for this and I'm not disappointed that you are not disappointed aaand I've gone cross eyed... 

I came here wanting this and I am satisfied.

For those unable to tune in, here’s a quick preview of what to expect.

How History is going to edit Jason’s interview:

Depends on whether the buyer also has to take that particular FC, which reduces the price considerably.

Everything works except the AC? That’s all you need to know.

As a man who has had periods in his life when the AC was broken, let me tell you exactly what that means: “I am so poor, I cannot maintain this car. I have let every piece of this car wear out, even the parts that separate man from beast. The tires are worn…

Turo keeps getting held up as a major threat, but it just isn’t. Some rando’s 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer (that is apparently worth $50/day, no matter what) that can only be picked up at 9:43AM, once you make a 15 mile trek from the airport, is not competitive with the $30/day Corolla you got off Expedia. Mind you, I do…

Those “useless” bolt heads are where you are supposed to jump and charge the battery.  My C6Z has the same setup - works great and is the correct way to do it.  

Ah.. we used to dream of living in a hole. We lived in the lake.

Yeah... he wants to spend up to $150K on a vehicle but he’s worried about paying a bit of extra tax.  Fucking stupid. 

So, being respectful, considerate, and clean is considered a lifehack now?

Love those guys. I suspect producer Doug Berman also has a lot to do with keeping their work alive & vibrant.

I will be off for the next two days and hence there will be no NPOND on Thursday or Friday. 

The Best Of podcasts every week are the highlight of my Saturday mornings. I often find myself laughing aloud in my kitchen and feeling completely at peace for an hour.

So go check out Car Talk’s website, if you haven’t in a while. If nothing else, you can catch up on Ray’s newest columns; he still sounds the same as you remember.

I love Car Talk. I recommend it to anyone who’s into podcasts and has an interest in cars. There’s something timeless about it. The humor, general kindness, and simplifying cars is wonderful. Truly recommend giving them a listen.
