#2654: Clean Underwear in a Can
Summary
Click and Clack mock GM's decision to discontinue Oldsmobile, suggesting absurd replacement names like the "Bose-o-mobile." They diagnose a stuck brake caliper for a Honda Civic owner and a failing water pump for a GeoTracker driver. The hosts also reveal the answer to a grasshopper race puzzler, check in on a listener who successfully cleaned his AC vents with Lysol, and present a new logic puzzle involving two contestants drawing numbers from a magical hat.
