Tom and Ray have always been there for you and they'll be there for you again. Just pop Car Talk: Car Tunes into your car player (assuming there's still enough juice to run it) and select a tune that best expresses your deepest thoughts and feelings.
Choose from 21 tunes researched by Car Talk's Department of Automusicology, songs with titles like, "Auto Service Hell," "King of Junk," "Cab on Fire," "My Bloody Yogo" and "Under the Wrench." This compendium of Disrespectful Car Songs features 21 of the best car tunes played on the air during the last 13 years of Car Talk, from bands including The Arrogant Worms, Red Meat, Betsy in the Gene Pool, and Dork Side of the Tune.
