#2655: Our Proper Roles
Jul 11, 2026 · 38m
Summary
Click and Clack discuss a study linking frontal temporal dementia to a sudden love for pop music before tackling listener car problems. They diagnose a 1968 Rambler’s black exhaust soot as a rich choke adjustment and explain a Mazda’s blown spark plugs resulted from improper tightening. The hosts also solve a complex logic puzzle about a magical hat and address a Subaru’s heat-induced vibration, likely caused by a viscous coupling.
