Summary: The Most Boring Daily Calendar of 2009
Comment: As much as I adore Click & Clack on the radio (I listen to them weekly on NPR), I can't believe how very boring this calendar is. A total waste of money and a bummer of a Christmas gift!

Summary: Stick with the Car Advice!
Comment: I guess you either love these guys or you hate them. My wife finds them incredibly annoying when she hears them on the radio.

Myself, I love them. Their accents are not off-putting to me, and I love how they laugh together.

What I've learned over time, though, is that the 'straight' answers they provide are actually pretty authoritative. They actually know what they're talking about, based not only on their extensive formal education but also based on their hands-on work with many, many cars.

This book distills this expertise into important, relevant items you need to know. Buy it and keep it in the car - you'll be glad!

Summary: Diagnostic advice mixed with humor
Comment: Click and Clack diagnosed my intermittant start-up problem in about 2 minutes, via this book.

As a result, I could talk to my mechanic more intelligently, and I knew what I was in for before I called the shop. I don't fix cars myself, but this book enabled me to be in charge of the process.

You get a great diagnostic tool, and some cheesy (but still funny) humor, all for under $15. Not a bad deal.

Summary: A Disappointing Read
Comment: This book could be half as long as it is if all the failed attempts at being funny were removed. The authors seem more concerned with trying to amuse their readers than with providing them with helpful information. While some good information exists within the book, it's buried among lame attempts at humor. I found myself being annoyed over and over again by these unfunny intrusions.

If you're looking for a lot of helpful, well-organized information on car care, I'd look elsewhere (e.g., "Lucille's Car Care", by Lucille Treganowan, which I highly recommend). And to the authors I'd say, "Either be stand up comics or authors of helpful car books, but don't try to be both!" (because you're failing miserably at it!)

Summary: Laughed hard enough that I shouldn't have been driving!
Comment: Great stories of the guys vs gals and a wonderful throw in on a college students response to a candidate college! My only complaint would be that the tape was too short only about an hour of entertainment, but a great hour!!!And if you need a good mechanic in Boston this tape has the perfect guy for you - really!!
