#2665: A Laser-like Focus
Aug 15, 2026 · 34m
Summary
Click and Clack share humorous anecdotes from a mother’s six-year-old children before diagnosing a 1993 Saturn’s braking noise as a loose fender liner. They tackle a 1994 Subaru’s recurring heater core failures, attributing the white residue to combustion gases from a bad head gasket. The hosts also advise a Buick owner on bypassing a broken AC compressor and answer a physics question about collision safety. Finally, they reveal the answer to last week’s puzzler and present a new riddle about a lawnmower’s gas mileage.
