#2673: Thelma and Louise II
Summary
Click and Clack diagnose a thumping brake issue on a Ford Escort, attributing it to warped rotors caused by over-tightened lug nuts. They also advise a caller with a "haunted" Chrysler Concord to disconnect the battery, suspecting water-damaged relays rather than a ghost. The hosts answer a puzzler about separating coins and recommend a 1970s Chevrolet for a cross-country road trip, while tracking down a former caller working in Kosovo.
