#2668: You Betcha!
Summary
Click and Clack open with humorous Bulwer-Lytton contest entries before advising a listener against using her Nissan Maxima to pull out juniper bushes. They diagnose a Jeep Comanche’s notchy shifter as a hydraulic clutch issue and share a story about a vacuum cleaner that spun wildly after its counterweight was removed. The episode also features a "Stop the Chips" follow-up on a slob who cleaned his car for a date, a puzzler about the safest time to drive, and a call from musician Les Block.
