Rdglady | 5 altre recensioni | Nov 20, 2018 | This is a great introduction to the thought processes of two siblings who were both MIT graduates. Tom went on to get his PhD. This is also a must have for Car Talk fans. Don't let their antics and silliness on Car Talk fool you. These guys have some profound thoughts to share.

ForSusan | 5 altre recensioni | Apr 6, 2018 | The book is subtitled: Car Talk’s Click and Clack Rant and Rave and that is exactly what this book is – a collection of rants on a variety of subjects from poor drivers, to the sorry state of education, to global warming.
I love National Public Radio’s Car Talk program. Listening to the brothers laugh their way through the various dilemmas posed by their audience was entertaining and laugh-producing. A wonderful way to start a weekend. I was expecting that kind of reaction to the book. There were some entertaining essays in the book, but I was disappointed. That’s mostly my own fault, because I didn’t read the description closely, or pay attention to any reviews. There’s probably a rant about idiot readers who don’t know what kind of book they just picked up …

cameronl | Feb 17, 2010 | 2520 Car Talk with Click and Clack: The Tarpet Brothers, by Tom and Ray Magliozzi with Terry Bisson (read 20 Jul 1993) This book makes me paranoid. And it says never buy a new car--it is always cheaper to fix the old car. But the dependability of a new car is worth much to a non-mechanic like me.

Schmerguls | 1 altra recensione | Apr 20, 2008 | I love the Car Talk show these guys do on the radio, so I thought I'd try the book. I did like the autobiographical sections, and a handful of the rants, but the rest seemed kind of repetitive or boring. Think I'll stick to listening to them on the radio.

Even though I know nothing about cars I have listened to the radio show and have enjoyed their lively banter. I may have even learned a thing or two. That is why I decided to read this book. It was not quite what I expected. Even though parts of the book were tongue-in-cheek, there were other parts that I felt were more likened to a lecture than to a rant. I anticipated a lighter read that would more closely replicate their exchanges on the radio.
