#2656: Remote Nonstarter
Summary
Click and Clack satirize Laura Doyle’s “Surrendered Wife” book before diagnosing a Lexus with an air-filled power steering system and an Isuzu Trooper with rough shifting. They solve a puzzler about using a vacuum cleaner to change oil, advise a caller on remote starters, and troubleshoot a Saturn’s loose ground connection. The episode concludes with a new puzzler about following city buses.
