Plus another star for the t-shirt.

The “motley assortment of characters” here owe a debt to Car Talk . I gotta think that each one of them, in some way, at some time, has thought to him/herself “what would Tom and Ray say?” That’s not a bad thing.

Mmm, yeah. Or this:

I live in an apartment building with nowhere to plug in the Bolt, but yeah, a hatch. Maybe that Buick Regal “Sportback.”

Aw, give him a break. Maybe he’s got a really shitty job.
