Last week the wife and I were on a short trip while listening to that
particular show. His question was relative to the advisability of trying to
drive his older Buick with a bad third gear(AT).  Just before he mentioned
his other vehicles I said to her. "I bet he's got a Vanagon". Click and
Clack typically cut him off at the mere mention of a Vanagon. I flipped  an
appropriate single digit peace sign towards the radio. Later when they
mentioned the $100 she cracked up.    It's hard to get any respect with
those guys digging at us every chance they get!
