Summary

Truth Shmooth! Mere moments after Click and Clack help Victoria from Tucson dismiss her husbands fibs about putting an air conditioning unit in their old car, our boys are making up stuff so that Reed from North Carolina can talk his wife out of pulling a horse trailer with his beloved Ford. It's a delicate dance on this episode of the Best of Car Talk.
