Those not familiar with National Public Radio's «Car Talk» may wonder why they'd want a book written by two «mechanics». Those who've heard the show won't take any convincing.
In Our Humble Opinion : Car Talk's Click and Clack Rant and Rave is, as you'd expect, utterly hilarious. From arguments over the 55 mile per hour speed limit to «Lies, Damn Lies and Magazine Surveys», Click and Clack have an opinion, or usually two opinions, on just about everything. Here's a sample:

When my brother was in his second or third senior year at MIT, he was elected President of the NRSA, the Non-Resident Student Association. Members were students who were what? Right. Non-residents. I mean, even if you lived at home, you ought to have a place to hang your hat -- so to speak. Pinball (Pac Man had not yet made its appearance) was the major pastime, and the association awarded a prize each year to the student who had been at the Institute the longest -- without having been awarded a degree (of course).

As President of the NRSA, my brother was an ex officio member of the campuswide Committee on Student Apathy.

He mentioned this odd sounding committee to me one day, and I said, «What does the committee do?»

He says, «I don't know. I've never gone to any meetings.»

Buy the book and remember - don't read like my brother.
