Hello and welcome to Car Talk on National Public Radio with us, Clicking Clack the Tapet Brothers

who are broadcasting this week from Car Talk Plaza right here of all places.

Yeah, so now that the presents are all unwrapped, now you can tell us, what would you get for

this man? Well, I got some rather interesting stuff. Really? I won't tell you who I got this from,

but I got a little bottle. Maybe you have this, you certainly need it. A bottle of

murky research hindsight whiteout kit. Oh yeah? Yeah, it's so that you can adjust the research

data to fit the conclusion that you want to reach. So you just change all the numbers

around without moving anything, you know? That's it. I mean, that was the number.

So the first thing that leapt into your mind? Well, it was the most interesting gift that I got.

Did it get? What did you get? Well, I got two tickets to the Chevy Chase Show.

Oh, yeah. What are you going to take? Hey, we're going to take calls in a minute,

and I'm sure you have letters of interest to read. Oh, you bet. But before you plunge into those.

Oh, I thought I would mention a vehicle that I've been driving the better part of the week.

Yeah, I was driving this until I gave it to Dougie and slept for the Volvo.

But actually, it all starts with with this recently, not recently, but maybe a few months ago,

you went on the tirade and you've done this a few times about semi truck drivers,

or drivers of semi trucks. I think it was semi brain truck drivers who pull right up

when you're bumper, you know, when you're doing 70 in the left hand lane already exceeding the speed limit.

They flash their headlights, they tailgate you so that you have to pull over.

And they intimidate you. They bully. They bully. Yes, they bully you.

And there's an old Chinese saying that says, I don't know exactly the words,

but it's just something like you should never judge a man until you've slept two weeks
