Woah oh, oh, oh… Sorry, brief Donna Summer moment there…
A few posts ago, I was reminiscing about my old Kia Sportage and it’s awesome bumper sticker… What I didn’t mention is that car car died a horrible and noisy death – and it was captured live on NPR’s Car Talk! As I was downloading some podcasts, it seems my episode was on re-run, and I got to hear it all over again.
Here’s the story – One night, I was coming home from rehearsal in Duluth, when my car started making this horrible rattling noise. I slowly drove it home and left it in the garage for a few days while I drove Matt’s mother’s old car for a while, until I had time to get the Kia towed to the shop. Then I had a thought – wouldn’t this be a great subject for the Click and Clack! I called into Car Talk and left the details about me and my car – lo and behold, I was picked.
It made for great radio when… well, you can hear for yourself. My call begins around the 20:17 mark…
